2021 Houston Preseason Position Previews: Running Back

Running the ball isn’t exactly a priority in the Air Raid offense, and that couldn’t have been more true last year for the Houston Cougars. Their leading rusher, the now departed Kyle Porter, only rushed for 424 yards and four touchdowns. Quarterback Clayton Tune was the second leading rusher. Will that change in 2021? It would be surprising if it did, but there are some good pieces that should get utilized more this year.

OTHER POSITIONS: QB

119 yards (4.8 ypc)

105 yards (5.0 ypc)

12 yards (3.0 ypc)

Car’s been with Houston since 2016, and has produced 1,486 yards with 12 touchdowns in his career, but has never broken the 400-yard mark.
