Running backs in the CAA 2007


In yesterday's blog we looked at the four running backs on the UMass roster.

I think the team of Lawrence and Nelson will be a good one for UMass. We will switch from a power running game to speed.

But how about the other teams in the CAA? Well, the list below is top running backs in 2006 (with the seniors deleted).
