Dynamic duos: Ranking CFB's top 10 running back tandems
We continue our look at the best positional tandems in college football, taking into account both college production and pro potential, with running back duos. You can find the best offensive line duos here and we'll delve into wide receivers, defensive linemen, linebackers and defensive backs later this week.
9. West Virginia: Rushel Shell and Wendell Smallwood
The skinny: Known for their passing attack, the Mountaineers have a pretty good rushing combo to help out the offense, too. Shell, a former blue-chip recruit who transferred from Pitt, put up 788 yards and seven scores in his first action for WVU last season. His inside running complements Smallwood nicely, and the latter rushed for 722 yards last season. A junior, Smallwood is one of the better all-purpose backs in the Big 12.
