Louisville Football Position Preview: Running Back

Louisville entered the 2019 season with the expectation that Hassan hall would be the feature back with an unknown situation behind him. It ended the season with a record breaking running back in Javian Hawkins finishing second in the ACC in yards per game. The Louisville offense should be explosive again and Hall and Hawkins could put up even bigger numbers in 2020.

There’s no doubt that Javian Hawkins will be the starter but I think we could see an expanded role in the offense. Hawkins wasn’t utilized much in the passing game last year but I think that will change this season.
