Ricky Bell, October 29, 1975 in Los Angeles, was told he'd be a blocker when he came to the University of Southern California, but they gave him the ball instead and he leads the nation's college rushers with 1,233 yards in seven games. He's 6-1, 215 pounds, fast, and some fans are comparing him to O. J. Simpson, formerly of USC. Undated photo. (AP Photo)
