USC Fined Over ‘Out’ RB Playing as Trojans Reshape Backfield for Notre Dame

Walk-on King Miller becomes USC's primary option at running back.

Overview

  • Big Ten levied a $5,000 fine after USC played Bryan Jackson despite listing him as 'out' on the pregame availability report, and said the matter is closed.
  • Starting back Waymond Jordan underwent ankle surgery on Monday and is expected to miss approximately four to six weeks.
  • Backup Eli Sanders sustained a knee injury against Michigan and has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.
  • USC says team doctors medically cleared Jackson during the game and the staff notified the conference; he entered in the fourth quarter and rushed for 35 yards and a touchdown.
  • Redshirt freshman walk-on King Miller ran for 158 yards and a score versus Michigan and is expected to start against Notre Dame as USC evaluates limited depth options.
