With more than 246 yards per game last year, Tow has one of the best per-game averages of any returning running back. He rushed for at least 200 yards eight times and had 414 against Galt.
Why he will lead the nation in rushing: Tow gets the ball about 25 times a game and he is a proven ground gainer as he had 2,261 yards as a sophomore. Furthermore, his team will go as far as he takes it, so he's the main option.
Why he won't lead the nation in rushing: Union Mine went 5-4 last year and didn't reach the playoffs. And the Diamondbacks are already off to an 0-1 start.
