Colorado State Running Backs: Who Carries The Load?

Will the carries be split like Bobo intended the first part of the year or will a feature back emerge like at the end of last year with Izzy Matthews?

The heart of the Colorado State Rams offense for the last six weeks of the 2015 season saw the three headed monster that started the season dwindle to one with a few appearances for the other two. Izzy Matthews emerged from the shadows of Dalyn Dawkins and Jason Oden, Jr. to become the featured back for the Rams. Matthews was a hard-nosed runner who was able wear defenses down and allowed the offense to open up a little bit.
