Bradford finally delivers on his promise

Bradford finally delivers on his promise

The black under his eyes shined like the bruises on Oregon State.
“I Promise,” it read.
For most of four years, that is all USC running back Allen Bradford has done.
Promised his father he would help him escape his life as a San Bernardino janitor. Promised his team he would help it return to the national title game. Promised himself he would never quit.
Promises, promises, promises.
Then, pow.
On a misty Saturday night, appearing like a ghost from seasons past, Allen Bradford’s promises became punishment, his vows became vicious, his myth became real.
