Dana Holgorsen has questions about how his West Virginia squad is going to replace Big 12 rushing leader Wendell Smallwood.
Yet, they aren’t the questions that would be expected.
In fact, Holgorsen is confident the Mountaineers’ group of running backs, as a whole, will be better than last year.
“I think our run game will be every bit as good,” said Holgorsen of a squad that ranked second in the Big 12 and No. 16 nationally with 228.2 rushing yards per game.
Smallwood accounted for 1,519 of West Virginia’s 2,967 rushing yards with Rushel Shell ranking second with 708 rushing yards in 2015.
