Utah running back John White has solidified a position that was in flux through the early part of the season -- and is only 85 yards away from 1,000 for the season. White's 205-yard effort Saturday against Oregon State was a driving force in the win, according to coach Kyle Whittingham.
Coming in as a JC transfer, White had to battle his way through a four-way running back scrum in the summer and fall. He's definitely the team's most important weapon at this point and should have a good chance to crack 1,000 yards this weekend with Arizona's run defense ranked 10th in the Pac-12.
