Breakdown of USC Run Game....
I am board and was curious to see if our run defense was as bad as a few people said. I looked at every rush in the game by USC and broke it down by quarter and drive to get an idea. Here is how it brokedown:
1st Quarter:
Drive 1: 1 rush for 5 yards and 1 sack for -5 yards (3 play drive)
Drive 2: 0 rushes (1st down rush called back on personal foul on Banner making it 1st and 20). 4 play drive
Drive 3: 4 rush 37 yards (USC got in 2nd and 17 after a false start by a WR). 7 play drive
Drive 4: Lawyer and Constantine in the game: 6 rushes for 36 yards, 1 sack for -11. Brought in Victor and Bierria at goal line. 2 rush 2 yards when they were in. 9 play drive.
1st Quarter Totals (not counting sacks for loss): 11 rushes, 78 yards.... 4 rushes 34 yards with Victor/Bierria out
2nd Quarter
Drive 5: 1 rush for -2 yards. 3 play drive.
Drive 6: 7 rush for 49 yards and 1 sack for -5 yards. 12 play drive. Led into halftime.
2nd Quarter Totals (not counting sacks for loss): 8 rush, 47 yards
1st Half Totals: 19 rushes, 135 yards, 7.1 ypc
3rd Quarter
Drive 7: 0 rushes, 2 play drive Sidney M'F Jones forced fumble.
Drive 8: 1 rush for 1 yard. 4 play drive.
Drive 9: 3 rush for 10 yards and 1 sack for -1 yards. 5 play drive.
Drive 10: 2 rush for 6 yards. 3 play drive.
3rd Quarter Totals (not counting sacks for loss): 6 rush for 17 yards. They only ran 14 plays in four drives.
4th Quarter
Drive 11: 4 rush 55 yards (When Victor was in they had 1 rush for 6 yards, after he got ejected they went 3 rush for 49 yards. 6 play drive)
Drive 12: 0 rush. 3 play drive.
Drive 13: 4 rush for 26 yards and 1 sack for -3 yards. 7 play drive. GAME OVER.
4th Quarter Totals (not counting sacks for loss): 8 rush for 81 yards. With Victor out it was 7 rush for 75 yards
2nd Half Totals: 14 rushes, 98 yards, 7 ypc
I actually felt like we were giving up a lot of yards while watching the game live. But if you look at the drive chart there was really just a couple drives that were poor. And 2 of them included no Victor or Bierria on the field.
USC ran the ball 39 times in the game (including sacks which were 4 in total) and threw the ball 29 times.
