When Wyoming coach Craig Bohl announced his plans to play 14 true freshmen Saturday, one inclusion, running back Kellen Overstreet, and one exclusion, cornerback Davion Freeman, may have raised some eyebrows among Cowboys fans.
Overstreet, who is behind seasoned backs Shaun Wick and Brian Hill on the depth chart, competed throughout fall camp for the No. 3 spot.
Bohl brushed aside a question asking if Overstreet is, in fact, his No. 3 running back, but offensive coordinator Brent Vigen later said the competition remains open.
“With the decision to play him, he’s just going to keep getting better and better,” Vigen said. “We’ve got to let that kind of play out. If it’s a situation where a third guy is thrust in there, I think it would be a combination of him and (Joshua Tapscott) and we would let the cream rise to the top.”
Tapscott has dealt with a stomach virus throughout camp, and redshirt freshman Nico Evans is suspended for the first two games due to a violation of team rules.
That’s opened the door for Overstreet, who Bohl said will see plenty of the field, even if it’s not at running back a whole lot early on.
