Running backs ready to rev up the attack

The offense drives the Cougars’ success. The scores come in bunches off flashy passing plays and quick, entertaining drives.The air attack is the main threat, as the passing offense and quarterback D’Eriq King have taken the nation by storm. But if the passing game is the model and paint job, the game on the ground is the engine that keeps the offense running.

A committee of three main players control the ground game: Patrick Carr, Mulbah Car and Terence Williams. Together, they have combined for more than 500 yards of offense. To the runners, the committee approach has only improved their production.
