Here are some notes on the running back position. Can this group give Wyoming enough of a running game to offset the loss of Brian Hill and compliment Josh Allen?

I actually think this crew will be just fine. Two guys carried the load last year and got beat down towards the end of the season. Maybe with 3 (possibly 4) able backs come conference championship time they won't be so worn out. You can't replace a guy like Hill but I think a committee can achieve everything this team needs going forward.

Going into the season that was the position group I was least worried about. Bohl and Vigen's system is such that you can plug almost any RB in and they will succeed without the need of a high profile back.

Honestly, I will never be concerned about the RBs under Bohl. Maybe they won't have a 3,000-yard career, but he will get enough production out of them to be successful.
