Christian McCaffrey has certainly made a name for himself in the last year-and-a-half.

The sophomore running back has had a dominant running game for the Cardinal through the first four games of the season. He leads the squad with 88 carries for 445 yards.

He picked up 206 of those yards last week against Oregon State. Although he’s the leader in total yards, he has yet to find the end zone this season.

Will he get his first touchdown of the season against the Wildcats? We’ll have to wait and see. But I wouldn’t bet against this guy. He might just go off against the Wildcats’ defense that seems to be limping around a lot as of late, especially with Scooby Wright out of the picture for the time being.
