#10Strong Spring Preview | Running Backs

The strength of the team in 2015 was supposed to be the running backs. To an extent, they delivered. The three stars, Robert Martin, Josh Hicks, and Paul James combined for 370 carries, 1,981 yards, and 15 TDs. It was not all smooth sailing, however. Paul James was clearly no longer the player he was before suffering a heartbreaking torn ACL against Navy in 2014. He was slow, couldn't find the hole, and never got into a rhythm as a runner. Robert Martin proved to be the best running back on the team, leading the Scarlet Knights in carries, yards, and TDs.
