Earlier this month, I mentioned a few guys that could be breakout candidates for Pitt football this season. But the ACC's official site had a look at three conference running backs that could be in for breakout seasons.
No Panther was listed but that got me to thinking a little about Pitt's running back situation, which we know could be wide open. The starter, for now, looks like Qadree Ollison, who, ironically, had a small role last year after a big 2015 season as a freshman. But how long that lasts is anybody's guess since the Panthers have a lot of candidates for carries.
Given that, who would be your pick for breakout running back for the Panthers this year? Will Ollison hold everyone off? Calling him a breakout player might seem a little odd since he was a 1,000-yard rusher in 2015. But because he had such a down year last season, rebounding this year to lead the pack would make him a breakout of sorts.
Does Moss, who looked great at times last season, seize the job? Does Hall get back in the mix? Will one of the freshmen emerge? Heck, maybe it's nobody in your mind, which is fine, too, if you don't think anyone will have a particularly great season.
What's your pick for breakout running back for Pitt in 2017?
