Javorius Allen Said He Could Run Ball In Final Minutes v. Utah

"USC Trojans vs Arizona State Sun Devils Football"With a third-and-2 situation at the Utah 28, a big question is why Javorius Allen did not get the ball on third or fourth down? Some speculated that Allen was too tired or his shoulder made him a bad risk.

But Allen said today he was OK to carry the ball if asked.

“I can (play) but I don’t question Coach Sark,” Allen said. “He calls the plays.”

  1. Players can only run the plays that they are told to run. If Buck had gotten the ball maybe everyone would be happy now. If the player hadn’t stepped out of bounds maybe Sark wouldn’t look so bad. Unfortunately, it was not to be.

    • And that unrecovered lateral to Darius Rogers on the very first play of the game really set the tone, but it wasn’t meant to be, as stated by Buzz…..

    • Actually that’s not the best example: you used the play where a player stepped out of bounds before getting the 1st down and that is definitely not on the coaching staff. Agholor made a mental mistake and owned up to it.

  2. Wolfman the new University World rankings are out UCLA is seating nice at #8, has Pat “Hatin” failed once again, maybe the on/off field distractions you know with the whole defending li’l Stevey and Spider-man in tha hood episode are affecting his focus??

    • Too bad that it is a reaserch comaprison — all the UC schools do well because the UC system is first and formost a graduate research system.’

      I say too bad for you because ranking does you no good. It purposefully does not include the community college admissions requirement levied by state law, and the special admits requirement.

      • How about football GSR USuCk C is currently in 11th in the Pac12????? and not one player that left to the draft last year is starting!!

          • Only because SUCC has played more Pac-12 games. SUCC and UCLA both have two conf. losses.

          • SC “student/athlete” of course doesn’t make sense when only 58% graduate, that’s were 11th in the Pac-12 comes into play, the draft is always a Clown U cop-out, Wolfman do us a favor and post the latest Pac-12 Football GSR for this rah rahs

  3. And what football player would have said, “I was too tired. I’m glad they didn’t five me the ball on that play?”

  4. The College Football Playoff rankings came out today and UCLA is ranked #22. What’s SC’s ranking?

    • It’s how you finish that matters, UCLA fan….. USC hasn’t finished their games, so they are deservedly unranked……that’s how it works….being an overhyped preseason CFP contender was too much for the Bruins to handle, I guess….

      • #1 to UN, yes indeed too much to handle, ha!

        • I thought we were discussing THIS year, but it is rather fun to break out the oldies, but moldies, like 50-0, isn’t it?…..we could go back and forth like this all day, but it’s this year that really matters, unless you enjoy dwelling in the past, which I suspect you do….

  5. Why would Steve Sarkisian play it safe by handing the ball to Javorius Allen ? He needs to show the world how smart and creative he is . He’s very much like Lane Kiffin that way, because Kiffin would spend so much time staring at that stupid play sheet, looking for a play that would make him look good, as oppose to picking up a first down.
