USC will be without starting running back Waymond Jordan for the rest of the game as he was carted to the locker room with 15 seconds remaining in the first half.

Jordan took a handoff with 3:04 remaining in the first half and went for two yards before he was tackled. He stayed down for a bit before hopping off the field without putting pressure on his left leg. Jordan was looked at by trainers and then put on a cart and taken back to the locker room.

Jordan had rushed for 39 yards on 11 carries and caught one pass for six yards to that point. USC was already down fellow back Eli Sanders after he, too, was taken to the locker room on a cart. Sanders caught one pass for 11 yards.

The running back position will be down to just walk-on back King Miller for the rest of this game. Running backs Bryan Jackson and true freshman Harry Dalton are not dressed for this game due to injury.

USC is takes a 14-7 lead into the halftime against Michigan and will have to grind out a win over the Wolverines with a very depleted running back depth chart.
