15 Storylines for the 2015 Football Season: Who's Running the Ball?

From the outside looking in, it looks like the Tarean Folston show at RB. But will there be a committee? Should there be?

Irish fans, let's talk running backs. When Everett Golson was presumed to be the man at quarterback for the 2015 Irish, there was a fair chance the running backs were going to be, if not unimportant, certainly not the most vital cog in the offensive machine. However, with Golson gone and Malik Zaire slated to be the man under center, the running game is likely to take on greater importance as coach Brian Kelly gets Zaire more comfortable with his spot and presumably takes advantage of the junior's run-first skill set.
