Washington Spring Previews 2016: Running Back

2015 Year in Review

True freshman Myles Gaskin gave the Huskies their first feature runner in three years, and emerged as one of the top running backs in the Pac 12 with a 1302 yard, 14 touchdown season. His 5.7 YPC average was good for 3rd in the Pac 12 last year. Gaskin was solid if not spectacular.

What surprised me upon looking back at the numbers was that UW's team rushing totals fell from what most thought was a fairly unimpressive rushing attack the previous season. After finishing 4th in the conference with 188 YPG in 2014, the Huskies fell to 9th in the Pac 12 with a 164 YPG average last year.
