Boston College fans, and probably those in the ACC, are going to learn over the coming months that life does continue after Andre Williams. Replicating his individual 2013 season will be quite difficult for one player to do, but it does not have to happen if a committee of players at this position can come close to the same level of total output.
With the offensive line from last season virtually intact and a decent crop of running backs on the Eagles, it will be attainable.
The question for the coaches is figuring out how to stack the depth chart at running back. Amongst their options are Myles Willis, Tyler Rouse, Jon Hilliman, and Marcus Outlow, the latter two of whom are incoming freshmen.
Some of the questions which will have to be answered include who plays, how much, and who redshirts. Camp should be very competitive in this regard. May the best men win.
