Nevada Running Backs Primed For Another Big Season

Despite losing Don Jackson, the Wolf Pack have reloaded their backfield yet again.

There are very few non-option offenses in the Mountain West that feature a more running back-centric offense than Nevada. Over the past decade, the patented Pistol Offense uses a dual-rushing system; Either a quarterback and running back take the majority of the carries, or a pair of running backs.

Last season, the tandem of Don Jackson and James Butler were the 1A and 1B rushers. While Jackson started the season as the more prominent back, he was overtaken by Butler at the end of the season.
