The Utes believe they are loaded at running back and plan to share the ball, even with Zack Moss expected to carry it at least 23 times each game

In his return to Utah’s football program, offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig discovered this spring that he has enough capable running backs to operate his scheme.

That’s even without Zack Moss, the star from last season who was absent from practices while rehabilitating a knee injury that caused him to miss the final five games, and former No. 2 back Armand Shyne, who is transferring after sliding down the depth chart.

Ludwig is promising to give Moss a big workload, while also using the likes of Devonta’e Henry-Cole, Devin Brumfield and TJ Green.

“This program is built around the tailback position,” Ludwig said Saturday, after the Utes concluded spring practice with the Red-White Game.
