It appears that Colorado running back Tony Jones has taken a big step toward nailing down the starting job this fall. Coach Jon Embree noted that Jones has "separated" himself from the other running backs and that they would need to make big strides to catch him.
Remember, Embree is committed to the running game, so if Jones emerges as the go-to back, he'll have a chance to put some big numbers on the board, particularly if the offense can find a passing attack that threatens.
