Carr finished with 11 carries for 119 rushing yards in the game. He had 10.8 rushing yards per carry. Imagine the possibilities of him in the College Football Playoff.
The duo have been stellar out of the backfield for the USC Trojans football team so far through two weeks. They were unstoppable for the second-straight week as the Cardinal simply had no answer for them all game.
Jones II longest rush in the game was for 23 yards while Carr’s 52-yard rush was both spectacular and almost even more game-breaking than what quarterback Sam Darnold was doing.
The Trojans offensive line has done a good job to get each back in position to succeed on the ground and it’s showed through two games.
Both players could have 1,000 rushing yards before its all over this season, so stay tuned.
