1. Sam Darnold isn’t the best USC player

Before the season, Sam Darnold was the Trojan that everyone was talking about. Through two weeks of the season, he has not even played the position the best in his conference, maybe not even in the state of California.

While Darnold has taken some time to find some consistency, one Trojan has been picking up the slack.

Reintroduce yourself to possibly the next great Trojan running back, Ronald Jones II.

Jones II has placed himself firmly into the discussion of the being one of the best running in 2017. He has rushed for 275 yards on 41 carries and five touchdowns. His 41 carries are ninth in the Power Five, and his 275 yards are the sixth best in the Power Five. The five touchdowns are second in the FBS.

Sam Darnold will definitely get drafted higher than Jones, but the latter, through two games, is definitely the MVP of the USC Trojans.
