Provo • BYU’s running backs have their own meeting room at the Student Athlete Building on campus where they gather with assistant coach Reno Mahe to watch film and prepare mentally for the next opponent.
At no point in nine games in 2017 has Mahe had every running back on the roster available to him, mostly because of injuries.
Fullback Brayden El-Bakri is the only ball-carrier who has played in every game. The only other ball-carrier who has not missed at least one game due to injury is Austin Kafentzis, who is really more of a quarterback because he takes snaps out of the wildcat formation.
