Texas Tech, Cal showcase elite running backs in Independence Bowl
If not for California running back Jaydn Ott and Texas Tech ball carrier Tahj Brooks, the Golden Bears and Red Raiders might have missed the bowl season. Instead, they'll meet in an Independence Bowl matchup on Saturday night that will showcase two of the better rushers in the nation. Ott, a sophomore, has piled up 1,260 yards on the ground – 13th-best nationally.
