In Baylor football’s 55-27 season-opening win over Abilene Christian, one position group stood out above the rest.
Baylor’s running back core of junior JaMycal Hasty, sophomores John Lovett and Trestan Ebner combined 255 total rushing yards, 106 receiving yards and five touchdowns. The Bears put up 75 more rushing yards than ACU, scored four more rushing touchdowns than the Wildcats and averaged 8.2 yards per rush attempt.
Despite the trio totaling almost 60 percent of the Bears’ total offense, Hasty credited the offense as a whole for allowing the running backs to succeed.
