Stanford Football: Cameron Scarlett needs to step up for the Cardinal in 2016

Someone needs to fill Remound Wright's power back role, and it appears Scarlett is up to the task

In recent years, Stanford has always had a big, strong running back that can run in between the tackles. And they've lived or died by these backs' success. When they performed like Toby Gerhart, Stepfan Taylor, Tyler Gaffney, and last year, Remound Wright did, Stanford took its place among college football's elite. When they didn't, like Wright didn't in 2014, they slipped to a disappointing season and the middle of the Pac.

Now, with Wright's graduation, Stanford is left with a void at power back.
