FORT LAUDERDALE -- West Virginia lost its leading rusher when Dustin Garrison blew out his knee Friday during practice down here in sunny Florida, and it sounds like a big loss whenever "leading rusher" is attached.
Thing is, I'm thinking this isn't a huge deal for the Mountaineers because they run the ball so little.
The freshman averaged 61.8 yards rushing this season, but that clip was inflated by a 291-yard effort against Bowling Green. Take away that total -- his only 100-yard effort of the year, by the way -- and Garrison's average goes down to 37.5 yards a game.
Garrison did, however, have 201 receiving yards on 21 catches.
