Week after week, Penn State football head coach James Franklin has to field questions regarding the running back position. Over the years, this didn’t need to happen, considering the Nittany Lions typically ran with one featured back all season long.
Nowadays, though, there’s too much talent to leave on the shelf. Ricky Slade, Journey Brown, Noah Cain, and Devyn Ford all have a solid skillset, which can be used differently in the offense. While some are performing better than others, James Franklin and Ricky Rahne are still willing to give everybody a chunk of the workload.
