The Independence Bowl could be all about the running backs of the BYU Cougars and UAB Blazers.
The two foes set to square off in Shreveport, Louisiana, both average more than 175 rushing yards per game.
BYU comes into Saturday with the best individual talent at running back in Tyler Allgeier, but UAB holds the better matchup against a defense that gives up 151.6 rushing yards per game.
The Cougars may be at a disadvantage when it comes to rushing defense, but it is still considered the favorite to win the Independence Bowl because of the tougher schedule it survived.
