1. The Flashy Running Backs
The secret seems to be out. UCLA has a spectacular crop of running backs, as we have seen during Spring Practice. The Bruins are led by last season’s Pac-12 leading rusher Paul Perkins who looks to have picked up where he left off.
Behind him is human wrecking ball Nate Starks who seems to have improved all parts of his game and could be the definite back-up. But that is still up for debate as Craig Lee has exploded onto the scene in the last few weeks and looks to challenge for that back-up role.
In addition, though they have not been as featured, UCLA has the services of Steven Manfro (who is recovering from an ACL injury) and Roosevelt Davis (who has also had flashes of greatness this Spring).
