I figured we can try something new this year. USC has an abundance of All-American caliber tailbacks ligning up in it's backfield again this season. All can probably be the main back in most programs in the nation. We all know Joe Mcknight is Pete's favorite, but who is the best?

Week 1.

1. Stafon Johnson - Only carried the ball 6 times for 27 yards, but when the team needed to punch it in for a touchdown he was and always will be the best and most reliable option. If given the carries he got last year, I'm sure we would've seen the strenght and finess he showed last year in breaking out for long runs.

2. Marc Tyler - Gave us a Reggie Bush like run which is amazing for a big man. He'll be unable for the Buckeye game, but hopefully we'll see more from him this season. He is strong and fast.

3. Joe Mcknight - Impressive runs showing his quickness while also showing what he can do when he ligns up as a receiever. With his 14 carries, he had a better chance of getting in the flow of the game than any other backs. His lingering fumbling problems however keeps him from being ranked the best back of the week. Lucky for him, he didn't get the CJ Gable treatment after a fumble.

4. Allen Bradford - Man this guy is strong. I doubt he'll ever be the featured back, but he sure makes the most of his opportunities. I already like him more than I ever liked Chauncey Washington.

5. C.J. Gable - If given the chance this guy can put up big numbers. He had seven carries averaging 5.3 per. That's very impressive. Many teams would be happy to have a C.J. Gable around.
