Miami Hurricanes’ spring search for feature back heightens competition

Miami Hurricanes offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee knows the 162.5 rushing yards per game (67th nationally) or 4.2 yards per carry (72nd) his run game posted last year isn’t going to cut it. While it was an improvement from how Miami ran the ball in 2019 under Dan Enos, there’s still another step the team needs to take.

Lashlee has made it clear this spring he wants to change his approach from last year’s carry distribution among running backs Cam’Ron Harris, Donald Chaney Jr. and Jaylan Knighton to have one emerge as the team’s primary rusher that gets 20 touches a game.
