It was bound to happen, only a matter of time, but a running back from Southern Cal has decided that he would be better off playing for another school. The LA Times is reporting that sophomore Emmanuel Moody, USC’s second-leading rusher last season, will transfer.
According to Rivals.com, Moody was listed third on the depth chart behind CJ Gable and Chauncey Washington. This depth chart, however, does not include 5 star athletes Joe McKnight and Broderick Green.
