2018 UB Football position previews: Running backs
We can only ponder how successful the 2017 edition of UB Football would’ve been if either Tyree Jackson or the now-departed Drew Anderson stayed healthy. The Bulls were just one win away from collecting a bowl berth despite relying on a freshman quarterback in three games.
While the program made significant progress from its 2-10 campaign a year prior, one of the units that struggled in terms of consistency was UB’s running back squad.
The biggest problem UB faced was the loss of Johnathan Hawkins. The junior played in just three games last year before he was sidelined to injury, forcing the Bulls to count on relatively inexperienced backs Emmanuel Reed and Theo Anderson.
