Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey presents different challenge for UCLA
Stanford's Christian McCaffrey breaks free for a big gain against Arizona on Saturday, Oct. 3. McCaffrey is third in the Pac-12 in rushing and has 1,149 all-purpose yards.LOS ANGELES – Stanford, it seems, always has a running back.
Whether Toby Gerhart, Stepfan Taylor or Tyler Gaffney, if there’s been a hallmark for the Cardinal in recent years, it has been that it features a bruising runner in its backfield, someone barreling behind an overstuffed offensive line.
The latest in the lineage is Christian McCaffrey.
The sophomore, though, represents a slightly different challenge for UCLA’s defense compared to his predecessors.
