Utah’s bruising, big-play back with proven 1,000-yard juice
In the 2007 season, Darrell Mack was a force for Utah, rushing for 1,204 yards and 12 touchdowns while averaging 4.8 yards per carry, which still ranks among the Utes’ top season totals[1][8]. He brought a compact, physical running style, showed he could handle a heavy workload, and flashed pass-game value with 21 catches in 2007[1]. The biggest caveat is durability and workload history: he sat out the 2007 opener after offseason medical issues, so he’s best viewed as an impact runner when healthy and fully ramped[5][12].
