50 Best of the Non-BCS: Number 25

Halfway through we are. Isn't the anticipation killing you?

#25: RB Bryce Beall, Houston

The Verdict: The 2008 Conference-USA Freshman of the Year, Houston's Beall was a major reason for the Cougars' success in 2008, running for 1247 yards with an impressive 6.3 yard per carry average. An equally skilled receiver out of the backfield who accounted for nearly 500 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns, Beall is the perfect fit to play in coach Kevin Sumlin's spread system. With fantastic cutback ability, instinctive open field-vision, and great lower body explosion, Beall should top his impressive freshman year numbers in 2009 and help Houston's loaded offense return to the postseason.
