James White is the first subject of this series because he is an often overlooked running back. He played right in the middle of the height of Wisconsin’s offensive surge from 2010-2013. He played with some of the greatest running backs in Wisconsin Badgers history, but is hardly mentioned as on of the greatest himself.
White’s career
In 2010, White was actually the leading rusher for the prolific Badger offense. He ran for 1,052 yards and 14 touchdowns, John Clay ran for 1,012 and Montee Ball finished with 996, just shy of becoming the third 1,000-yard back on the team.
