Phillip Lindsay sports a frizzy black afro that might get him automatic entry into almost any 70’s soul band, but the retro look isn’t why Colorado’s leading rusher has cultivated such a following this season and throughout his career in Boulder.
Lindsay’s an easy man to identify, he’s just hard to track down.
“We think he’s one of the best (running) backs in the county,” Washington State linebackers coach Ken Wilson said on Wednesday. “He’s tough, he’s not as big as the backs we’ve faced, but he runs harder than any of the backs we’ve faced. You’ve got to tackle him and you’ve got to be in the right gaps or he can break big runs on you.
