Non-BCS RB Profiles
Athlon continues its release of the 2009 college fantasy football draft kit, with a look at running backs from the WAC, Mountain West and Independents.
2009 Arizona Wildcats Preview
Most of the pieces are in place for the Wildcats to return to a bowl game. But there is great uncertainty at quarterback and concerns on the offensive line and at linebacker. The Wildcats scheduled some needed break-in time against Central Michigan and Northern Arizona against whom they can identify and select a starting quarterback. By the time they travel to Iowa in late September, they expect to be rolling, perhaps not at last year’s 36.6-point and 402.4-yards-per-game rate, but good enough to be a factor in what should be a very balanced Pac-10.
Pac-10 RB Profiles
