Is USC still Tailback U?

saturdaysarebet · Dec 27, 2018

Long ago USC certainly was, but with only two All-American running backs in the past 37 seasons, is USC still Tailback U? Alabama's had two Heisman-Trophy winning running backs in recent years.

Ummmmm No.

Otherwise Najee Harris would have not left California

Nope.

and Penn State isn't linebacker U, either.

I posted this on the recruiting board. The first half of the list are all heavy contributors to their teams and some are pro bowlers. The bottom half of the list is the next wave..

Cecil Hurt put out this information that was pretty interesting. This is the rank of running backs recruited by Saban:

Ingram 112 overall / 10 RB
Richardson 6 /2
Yeldon 27 / 3
Drake 124 / 8
Henry 12 / 1
Kamara 42 / 5
Scarbrough 16 / 2
D Harris 31 / 1
N Harris 2 / 1
Sanders 5 / 1
Jacobs 469 / 36

We are truly RB U..

Nah...it's been too long since they had a HC named John.

UGA would be would be in that conversation before USC would.

cubzwin · Dec 27, 2018

And after last night it is clear that Cal is no longer quarterback U. The worm turns.

I’ve never understood why Penn State had that title.

Alabama is pretty much everything U right now with the exception of QB and Kicker.

yea I prefer the NFL U label instead of one specific position.

In the late '60s and '70s they had a string of All-American linebackers and it took hold. Onkotz, Ham, Buttle, Skorupan, Allerman, O'Neil, Zapiec. From '68 to '76 they had an All-American linebacker every year but one.
