Nick Wilson had some large footsteps to fill after Ka'Deem Carey's departure, and he did it with flying colors. Health-permitting, he should have another big year in 2015.
After losing the school's all-time leading rusher in Ka'Deem Carey following the 2013 season - and Daniel Jenkins, his backup - the Arizona Wildcats were expected to take a step back at the running back position in 2014.
After all, Jared Baker was the only running back on the roster that had any in-game experience, yet he only tallied 47 carries over his first two years, and had just 27 in 2013.
