FOX Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt ranks his top-five running backs in the country heading into Week 8 of the season.
Take a look at the Heisman Trophy odds heading into Week 8 of the college football season, and you will notice there isn't a single running back listed among the top-10 favorites.
Now, this isn't to say that the running back position hasn't been very strong this season because there are several outstanding backs throughout the nation, with a guy who I believe has been the best of the bunch residing in South Bend.As of Wednesday afternoon, there are 11 running backs in the FBS who have already rushed for 700-plus yards this season, and six backs who have already totaled double-digit rushing scores.
With that said, here is a breakdown of who I believe have been the top-five running backs in the country so far this season, counting down from 5-to-1.Lloyd leads all Power 5 backs with 7.5 yards per carry, but he's only getting 10 carries per game so far. He only got eight carries in the Trojans' 48-20 loss to Notre Dame. That has to change if USC wants to turn its season around and actually go out and win the Pac-12.
