Multiple College Football Teams Struggle With Run Games Impacting Season Success

Several college football teams are currently grappling with challenges related to their running games, impacting their overall offensive production and team performance. Arizona State's offense is strong overall, but their running backs show varied performances, with Raleek Brown standing out as a consistent and effective option both on the ground and in receiving. Nebraska is struggling with a lack of production in the run game and protecting the line of scrimmage, contributing to a narrow loss against Michigan and mirroring issues from the previous season. Florida State, by contrast, boasts one of the nation's top rushing offenses, ranking second nationally with an average of over 336 rushing yards per game, a key asset in their upcoming rivalry game. LSU, under Brian Kelly, continues to face recurring problems, most recently with a running game that is underperforming significantly, adding to a pattern of addressing major team deficiencies season after season. Meanwhile, UCF is facing similar struggles, where an improved run game is critical for their offense to be competitive moving forward.
