Defensive Player to Watch: The Linebackers

It’s not an exaggeration to say that Oklahoma State running back Chuba Hubbard is the best running back in the College Football.

In fact, it’s blasphemous to argue against that statement. Hubbard is currently leading nation in rushing with 1,265 yards; the next closest is Boston College’s AJ Dillon with 968 yards.

Without a doubt, Hubbard is the biggest threat that the Cowboys are bringing to Ames on Saturday, and could be OSU’s key to pulling off the upset in Ames. If the Cyclones defense can contain Hubbard, they should have no problem with the Cowboys, but that’s a big if.
