In recent years, the Panthers have been blessed with excellent running backs. LeSean McCoy, Dion Lewis, Ray Graham, and James Conner have all run amuck in Pitt uniforms over the last decade. But the top rusher for the Panthers last year had just 628 yards, and players that had 102 carries between them have graduated (not including quarterbacks). But like I said about the transition taking place with the quarterback position, this is not necessarily a bad thing because there is young talent that should now be ready to get their own carries.
Of those 102 carries, only 42 came from a running back, and that was Chawntez Moss, who has transferred.
