2. Can Darius Anderson stand out as the lead back?

Gary Patterson has a dilemma on his hands. Who will he hand the keys to the backfield to? Currently, the favorite to start in the backfield is junior Darius Anderson who rushed for 768 yards and eight touchdowns on 6.0 yards per touch in 2017. He stood out in a loaded backfield and will need to prove he can be the lead back.

Besides having one of the best names in college football, junior Sewo Olonilua is looking to also push Anderson and become one of the better breakout players in the Big 12.

With Kyle Hicks now gone, those two are going to be battling it out for the starting job, but it seems as if it’s Anderson’s to lose.

Standing 5-foot-11 and 205 pounds, Anderson has a strong frame and quickness to boot. He averaged 8.5 yards per carry in limited snaps as a freshman and kept it over six as a sophomore. If he can maintain that effectiveness, he’s going to be one of the Big 12’s top backs.
