For the UCLA Football team, to have several very good running backs is a blessing. Unfotunately, the use of them has been perplexing.
UCLA switched their offense in the off-season to add more power elements to their game plan. Part of this has been to try and beef up their run game.
The only problem is that they have not found that power back that can help in short yard, grind-it-out situations. Actually they have found him, they just haven’t used him.
That back is sophomore Bolu Olorunfunmi.
The Misuse of Running Backs
In the first four contests, the Bruins have given Nate Starks and Soso Jamabo more carries per game than any other Bruin.
