King Miller and Waymond Jordan have emerged as a dynamic running back duo for the USC Trojans, drawing comparisons to the Ohio State Buckeyes' successful tandem in the 2024-25 season. In that year, the Buckeyes featured TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins, who both surpassed 1,000 rushing yards and contributed significantly to the team’s national title run. Miller has showcased explosive speed since joining as a walk-on freshman, while Jordan's physical running style adds an effective contrast. Together, they aim to lead the Trojans to playoff contention, capitalizing on the run creativity reflected in their offensive strategy. Their performance will be closely monitored as the season progresses.
