If you were one of the people who wondered why Bearcats RB Mike Boone, who has all-conference talent, only managed to get the third most carries on the team during 2015’s running back by committee approach – well – join the club. Boone averaged an insane 7.2 yards per carry and led the team in touchdowns (9, all rushing) in 2015, yet got just 26% of the carries among the “three-headed monster” of Boon, Tion Green, and the now graduated Hosey Williams.
The fact that Boone (a Junior this Fall) nearly led the team in rushing (749 yards to Williams’ 777 and Green’s 729) despite the lack of carries speaks to his talent.
