Now that the season is over and the coaching cycle is spinning, it’s a good time to look back and review each position group. Next on the list: the running backs.

Overall Grade: B

It’s early on in the position reviews, but I imagine a B will be amongst the highest any position group receives. After all, this was an offense that produced a conference-low 13.8 points per game.

That being said, the rushing attack is not the main culprit for the lack of dynamism on the scoreboard. The rush offense finished middle-of-the-pack among the Big Ten and there were a few bright spots in the RB room.
