On the national recruting scene, Florida continues to be USC’s biggest rival and seems to hold its own, with safety Will Hill and linebacker Brendan Beal, both from New Jersey, where the Trojans used to have great success. But the biggest player USC misses right now is wide receiver Percy Harvin.
The sophomore ran 11 times for 113 yards and two touchdowns and caught nine passes for 110 yards against Vanderbilt, the first player in Florida history to total more than 100 yards rushing and receiving.
That’s the type of player USC relied on in the past when it overwhelmed opponents with talent.
