Plenty of depth of running back, but it's Gallman's job to lose

SUNSET, SC – With questions about depth surrounding the Clemson football program, there’s one position coach that doesn’t have that worry.

Tony Elliott’s running back room has six guys who are all capable of being the guy and rushing for 1,000 yards. However, Clemson’s offensive coordinator said that it’s Wayne Gallman’s job to lose.

In 2014, Clemson running backs were plagued with injuries - Zac Brooks was lost before the season even began, and Adam Choice tore his ACL against Boston College. With his peers sidelined, it was Gallman who stepped up and showed his potential late in the season.
