Tailback battle in full swing at USU spring camp
With 18 returning offensive and defensive starters, plus 52 total letterwinners, the future appears to be bright for Utah State’s football program.
Nevertheless, the Aggies face several questions during spring camp, which began last Saturday and will conclude with the Blue vs. White Spring Game on Saturday, April 7. One of the biggest questions is who will emerge as USU’s feature running back.
LaJuan Hunt seized that role a year ago and ended up rushing for 828 yards and 11 touchdowns as a senior. USU’s top two returning rushers, Eltoro Allen and Gerold Bright, combined for 533 yards and three scores during the 2017 campaign.
