Louisville football is finding that having a running back rush for 1,000 yards in a season is no easy task.
After all, there are a lot of logistics behind having a player average nearly 100 yards a game. There has to be consistency in play-calling and offensive line play. There has to be a balanced passing attack, and of course, you have to have a player talented enough and versatile enough to see enough snaps to get over that hump.
Lamar Jackson made rushing for 2,000 yards look like the real challenge. He rushed for the most yards ever in a single season in Louisville football history in 2016, then followed that up by breaking his own record in 2017.
