Bryce Love averaged 7.0 yards per carry last season. That’s really good and better than Christian McCaffrey’s 6.3 ypc. With McCaffrey gone, it’s worth wondering how well will Love fill his shoes. Could he be good enough to bring home the Heisman Trophy McCaffrey so rightfully deserved?
Love has had two chances as Stanford’s lead back, but now, he’ll have a full season worth of chances. When Love did start last year, he did not disappoint and ran for over one hundred yards versus Notre Dame and North Carolina. Even when Love backed up McCaffrey, he still made an impact on the field and earned PAC-12 honorable mention.
