Arizona football: Running back health is key to maintaining success

Wilson, Baker and Haden could create a triple-headed monster in the backfield

The key to another successful season for the Arizona Wildcats is going to be health and depth. There were numerous injuries that held the Wildcats back throughout the season, specifically on offense.

Rich Rodriguez will have to strategically optimize the use of his running backs, especially considering the injury histories of Nick Wilson and Jared Baker. With Wilson as the feature back, Arizona should have one of the most complete offenses in the nation.

5th year veteran Jared Baker will work his way onto the field to relieve Wilson and takeover the role of now graduated Terris Jones-Grigsby.
