Spring Position Preview: Buffs RBs Have Talent, But Little Experience

BOULDER — Experience will not be a commodity in large supply in the Colorado backfield next fall — at least not at running back.

If the Buffs are to continue their recent tradition of 1,000-yard backs, the question of who will fill those shoes is a big one. Only one running back on the current roster — senior Beau Bisharat — has more than 100 career rushing yards to his credit. The rest of the roster consists of talented but untested backs.

What we do know, however, is that there will be an increased emphasis on running the ball under new head coach Mel Tucker and offensive coordinator Jay Johnson.
