With USC heading to the Coliseum on Saturday afternoon for its first scrimmage of fall camp, it could be another opportunity for running back Keaontay Ingram to assert himself as a primary option in the Trojans backfield, if his tweaked ankle is good to go.

Ingram looked to be back to normal at practice Friday, although it was a low-impact, unpadded workout for the team.

Either way, the impression he left during his last opportunity in the Coliseum still resonates. His 49-year catch-and-run during USC's spring game in April, in which he made a handful of defenders miss along the way, showcased both his speed and his elusiveness. Add in the power game he's also displayed during his time with the Trojans, dating back to the spring, and the Texas transfer has indeed looked like an impact addition.

"Oh man, just to have that moment just showed just a little aspect of what I can do," Ingram said this week, reflecting back on what was really USC fans' first glimpse of his abilities. "[I'm trying to] do it more consistently and stuff like that, get in the rhythm of the offense and just having fun with it. I know what I can do and I'm very confident in it."

That much is also clear.

Ingram was made available to reporters earlier this week for the first time since arriving at USC, and he expressed that he expects to be one of the lead backs for the Trojans as RBs coach Mike Jinks has pledged to roll with a 1A/1B tandem in the backfield.

"One thing Coach Jinks did, he came out front, he let us know up front we're going to have a 1-2 combo -- you know, have a third guy there -- but I mean, just go win it and it's on you at the end of the day," Ingram said.

Asked if he felt he had shown enough to be one of those lead guys, he didn't hesitate.

"Oh, most definitely," he said.

And as to what exactly he feels he's displayed so far?

"Everything," he said plainly.
