Brooks: Tailback-By-Committee Concept Hinges On Unselfish Backs

(Fourth in a series of position-by-position previews of the 2015 Buffs to be posted on CUBuffs.com during the preseason. Today: Running backs/fullbacks)

BOULDER – If any of Colorado’s running backs are dreaming of a 1,000-yard season in 2015, dream on. Maybe that’s a little harsh, given the uptick in the Buffaloes’ overall running game over the past two seasons. And fortunately CU’s backs take a broader view – a team view – that encompasses more than individual numbers.

The Buffs certainly aren’t without capable runners, an offensive line that figures to be strong, athletic and deep, and a passing game that will put defensive coordinators on edge (or tumbling over it).
