UBC Thunderbirds still unsure of running back options past opener

Vancouver Sun story about this Saturday’s UBC Thunderbirds football game examines who will be the team’s starting running back this season.

“There is no question there is talent there, but we need someone to take the step forward and say ‘I need the ball 25 times a game,’” said head coach Blake Nill.

This year, the Thunderbirds are ranked No. 1 in the CIS national rankings for the first time since 1999.
