Oregon State running back B.J. Baylor leads the Pac-12 in rushing and the Beavers’ improved ground game is one of the main reasons the team is just a win away from bowl eligibility for the first time since 2013. Oregon State ranks seventh nationally for rushing offense and Baylor ranks seventh nationally for yards rushing per game. He’s one of a class of Pac-12 running backs who have hit their stride this season, joining Oregon’s Travis Dye and UCLA’s Zach Charbonnet.
