Football AAC Unit Rankings: Running backs

[Brad]

4. South Florida

 

The Bulls find themselves this high on the list because of one man. That man is Marlon Mack, who was named AAC Rookie of the Year and placed on the all-conference first-team last season. Mack edged out Houston's Kenneth Farrow for the rushing title in the AAC, compiling 1,041 yards as well as nine touchdowns. He was the only player in the conference to average more than 85 yards per game and he showed great resiliency, carrying the ball 202 times, also a league-best. While he may be the best pure running back in the conference, Mack doesn't have much help, with D'Ernest Johnson (150 yards) the next-best rusher. In fact, the Bulls had only 174 carries as a team outside of Mack's contributions.

Why? Do you really not know where we'll fall?

[JTrue]

smazza's never seen a USF football game. You have to cut him some slack.

[raptorcj]

He's already published his official assessment of our stable (over...and over...and over...and...), so I figured a published ranking wouldn't mean much.

[DELdaBull]

The running backs are pretty good.

I'm interested to see Mack in a spread formation on a regular basis.

I don't like how the writer suggests Johnson isn't any good. He's a beast catching out of the backfield, just hasn't had the same chances as Mack. If he/she knew the ability of Johnson , we would be higher on the list. Numbers don't mean everything.

All our RBs have pretty good hands, something I'm really hopeful to see in the form of some screens & Swanson-esque romps down the field. They should have the room for it.
