USC Tailback Emmanual Moody is the latest victim of the Sports Illustrated cover jynx. Earlier this week, Moody, along with USC tailbacks C.J. Gable and Chauncy Washington, graced the cover of Sports Illustrated's College Football Preview Magazine.
However, as of today, Moody will no longer sport the cardinal and gold of USC. According to USC Head Coach Pete Carroll, the sophomore tailback has decided to transfer.
After Thursday practice, Carroll told media, "We've talked about it for a couple days. It was not a snap decision. He's of the mind that he needs to move on. He's looking for an opportunity where he can be a featured guy. "
His transfer does not come to a surprise for USC fans. With ten running backs, playing time would definitely be limited and feelings could be tarnished.
Moody had been having a solid training camp, but he bruised his knee in a scrimmage Sunday night at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, and didn't practice after that.
