Yes we are only one game into the season, but this group of running backs gives the Bearcats two major attributes that they just did not have last year. The first and most obvious one is depth. Last year, the injury bug left the team with Rod Moore and Mike Boone who did an absolutely admirable job in giving new life to the Bearcats. This year, however, Cincinnati has that depth along with the second major advantage: change of pace.
Like I said, Moore and Boone did a fantastic job, but both were relatively small, fast, and shifty running backs.
