Overview

• USC inserted Bryan Jackson in Week 7 against Michigan after team doctors granted in-game medical clearance.
• Jackson, sidelined since Week 1 with turf toe, entered in the fourth quarter and rushed five times for 35 yards and a touchdown.
• USC said the move was an emergency decision as injuries to Eli Sanders and Waymond Jordan left the backfield severely depleted.
• The Big Ten issued a public admonition on availability-report accuracy and stated the case is closed.
• Jordan suffered a serious ankle injury, is expected to miss up to six weeks, and will undergo tightrope surgery.
