ESPN has been ranking how strong each ACC team is at each position. Today at Blogger So Dear we will take a look at ESPN's running back rankings. The Wake Forest Demon Deacons came in a lowly 14th out of 14. Is that justified? We examine.
Last season the Deacs averaged just 3.03 yards/carry, which was 127th out of 128 in the country. That's awful by any definition. The year before the Deacs were last nationally, and averaged .7 yards/carry less than the second-to-last ranked team. The positive news for the Wake rushing attack? They more than doubled their yards/carry, though that probably says more about 2014 than just the improvement in 2015.
