Wake Forest Running Back Overview

What can we expect to see out of the Wake Forest running backs this season?

Wake Forest had the worst rushing game in the country last season. That is simply not up for debate. The Deacs averaged an entire 1.25 yards per carry, which was last nationally, and .7 yards/carry worse than second-to-last. In three games last season, the Deacs finished with a negative rushing total, and in only one game, Army, did Wake Forest eclipse the 100 yard mark. However, it's not entirely fair to place the entire lack of a rushing attack on the tailbacks. The offensive line was dead last in a number of offensive line statistics including: adjusted line yards, line yards/carry on standard and passing downs, and stuff rate.
