Here are three things to keep an eye on as Arizona’s first fall camp of the Kevin Sumlin era begins on Friday, Aug. 3.
1. How will the running back situtation shape up?
Arizona hasn’t had a 1,000-yard-rusher out of its backfield – not counting Khalil Tate - since Nick Wilson’s freshman campaign in 2014.
With the departure of Wilson and goal line back Zach Green, who were both seniors last season, Arizona’s backfield touches will largely be divvied up between J.J. Taylor and Nathan Tilford.
Gary Brightwell, Anthony Mariscal and Brandon Leon should also pepper in throughout the season to make contributions as change of pace ball carriers.
