Mention the recent history of players in his position, and you will see Alexander Mattison’s eyes light up.
Going into his junior season, the Boise State running back had a solid sophomore year, but there’s an expectation he can handle more.
“We see big things coming for him this year with the experiences he had last season,” offensive coordinator Zak Hill said. “Going into this one, our expectations is that he’s going to be the guy, the workhorse, and we’re going to load him up.”
Mattison rushed 212 times for 1,086 yards and had 28 receptions for 284 yards in 2017.
