USC running back Dillon Baxter, who starred in the Trojans’ scrimmage Saturday, is cutting and juking his way across the Internet.

This video of Baxter’s 50-yard touchdown run has been viewed more than 1.2 million times.

Baxter’s run begins about 50 seconds in, after defensive lineman DaJohn Harris strips the ball from quarterback Mitch Mustain.

Baxter ran a few plays out of the Wildcat formation on Tuesday.
