An age-old axiom is that teams have to be able to run the ball to win games. For Miami, the majority of that burden falls on talented sophomore RB Joseph Yearby's shoulders.
Yearby, a 5'9" 200lb back from local Miami Central high school, has stepped into the starting role this year after being the backup to the Canes' All-Time Leading Rusher Duke Johnson in 2014.
As a freshman, Yearby was a good change of pace back and ran for more than 500 yards off the bench. However this year, as the feature back in the Canes' pro-style offense, Yearby has nearly doubled that production.
