Eric the Red Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Ryan Powdrell, RB USC, Sr. As if losing both Reggie Bush and LenDale White to the NFL draft wasn't enough, the Trojans were missing basically all of their other tailbacks for the spring game. Hershel Dennis tore his ACL, Desmond Reed had not recovered well from his torn ACL, Chauncey Washington was having academic problems and Michael Coleman had hip surgery. So the 6-foot, 250-pound Powdrell, a converted linebacker, took over in the backfield and rushed for 81 yards on 10 carries. Photo: Christian Petersen/Getty Im Quote Link to comment
Foppa Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Sorry for the duplication, Eric...just posted the same thing on your last topic Quote Link to comment
KansasHusker Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 250? thats a lot of weight to carry...from his pic he does not look toned or ripped at all. How much speed can a rb of his size bring also? Quote Link to comment

He'll bring a fat-ass load of nothing wide right, get lit up, fumble, and look like a chump with 2 fumbles and 18 total yards in a 35-7 loss vs. NU. Quote Link to comment
huskerguy Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I really can't think about the game with USC not thinking we're gonna go in there and put them in there place. Sure they have talent but they still need experience which they won't have. for the most part everyone on that team has experience nothing but success and may come in over confident.

tattooedhusker Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 very valid point, it is a distinct possibility Quote Link to comment
Husker IN Hawaii Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Honestly, I am wondering what all of these factors are going to do to USC's pre-season rankings. I want them as high as possible in the BCS so that when we beat them it catapults us up to the top ten. As far as looking at a running back that BIG ..... we have never seen him run or do anything really, I totaly respect your point KansasHusker but don't you remember Dahrran Diedrick? That BIG boy weighed in the fall of 2001 at 230 lbs so I would not be so fast to count them "down and out" of the running back situation. Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I would not count USC down and out even if they had every starter gone from last year. They all have a winning mentalitly and that can play a huge effect on some outcomes. Quote Link to comment

He was around 250 but had about 4% body fat Quote Link to comment

Husker IN Hawaii Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Husker Rob you are right I was thinking of Dan Alexander thanks for the correction. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I think USC is a good team and I don't know about all of you but I'm sick and tired of hearing about them!!! I hope that we beat them so some of the analysts will stop talking about how good USC is..................... Quote Link to comment

I hope that we beat them so some of the analysts will stop talking about how good USC is..................... I hear ya...the problem is...NU wins...USC, big personnel losses, off-field problems, they are rebuilding, blah blah blah...USC wins, dominant as always, NU is nothing...Lose-lose situation for the Big Red... Unless they kick ass and win big! Quote Link to comment
OhioHusker15 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Foppa maybe a lose-lose situation when we look at what the media might say...But lets be honest...none of us husker fans really care what espn or mark may or those idiots can say....a wins a win...just like when we beat michigan in the alamo bowl...let espn say what they want but we still beat the tar outta those wolverines. I personally can't wait for ESPN to make excuses for USC after the game...it'll just mean we whooped them good.....I hate USC by the way! Quote Link to comment
