5. The Run Game

The running game will quite possibly be the most exciting part of the Spring Showcase. With the offense tweaking their schemes, the running backs have been the most consistent and impressive parts of these new looks Polamalu has instilled.

Nate Starks, Soso Jamabo and Bolu Olorunfunmi have all looked very imposing this spring. All of them had very impressive seasons in 2015, so the fact that each and everyone of them has looked better in the last four weeks is a huge plus for the Bruin’s running game.

These three RBs will be heavily relied on to push the offense forward throughout next season, especially as they adjust to a new power-based offense, so their immediate adaptation is a relief.

The Bruins may name a #1 running back, but you can more than guarantee that this group will run by committee. All three of these players will be involved with the offense for different situations and all of them should be highly successful in their roles.
