With spring practice in the books, we’re updating our Big 12 position rankings.
Up next are the running backs.
1. West Virginia (previous ranking: 1): One of the best groups in the Big 12, regardless of position. The Mountaineers feature Justin Crawford, who ranked sixth nationally last year with a per-carry rushing average of 7.3 yards, Kennedy McKoy and Martell Pettaway. The latter duo figure only to improve after showing flashes last year as true freshmen. Freshman Tevin Bush, a jitterbug at 5-foot-5 and 168 pounds, figures to find a role, too, in his bid to emulate former WVU star Tavon Austin.
