Reaches 85 yards in loss Coleman compiled nine carries for 80 yards and reeled in all two targets for five yards during Saturday's 40-16 defeat against Iowa.

Impact Coleman logged less than 11 carries for the first time this season, as he was pulled before the start of the fourth quarter of this wire-to-wire loss for the Huskies. The junior running back still remained highly efficient, and he's now averaged 6.9 yards per carry through seven games this season. He's also averaged 14.1 carries and 2.3 receptions per contest this year, and he's averaged 108.6 total yards across four Big Ten games. Coleman will look to find his way back into the end zone when Washington next plays at Indiana on Saturday, Oct. 26.

Scores late in narrow win Coleman logged 18 carries for 80 yards and one touchdown and hauled in their only target for 13 yards during Saturday's 27-17 win over Michigan.

Impact Coleman had an efficient outing against what has been one of the Big Ten's best defenses so far this season. The 229-pound running back logged a season-high in carries, and he ramped up late with a burising 27-yard run before scoring his fifth touchdown of the season with a one-yard plunge midway through the fourth quarter. Coleman has gone over 100 rushing yards once in the last four games, but he's been very efficient with 5.9 yards per carry over that span.

Logs season-high 153 yards Coleman logged 16 rushes for 148 yards and caught their only target for five yards during Friday's 21-18 defeat against Rutgers.

Impact Coleman ate in the first half with 74 rushing yards. But, the Huskies went away from him after four-straight carries to open the third quarter, as the 229-pound running back got just one carry in the fourth quarter. Instead, the team tried to pass its way out of a 14-3 second-half deficit, as Will Rogers went 26-for-36 passing for 306 yards and two touchdowns. Coleman's been very efficient with 7.2 yards per carry through the first five games of the season, though he's scored just one touchdown since tallying three in the season opener. His odds of finding the end zone won't get any easier with back-to-back tough defensive opponents up next, including a home game against Michigan followed by a road matchup at Iowa.

SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Finds the end zone in easy win Coleman recorded 15 carries for 67 yards and one touchdown and hauled in all three targets for 36 yards during Saturday's 24-5 victory over Northwestern.

Impact Coleman got back into the end zone for the first time since his three-touchdown outing versus Weber State in Week 1. The 229-pound junior finished this win with an eight-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter. While he got off to a blistering start in his first two games with Washington, the Arizona transfer slowed down just a little with 4.9 yards per carry against Washington State and Northwestern. Washington's ground game will likely face its toughest test of the season so far when they travel to Rutgers this Friday.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Held below 100 rushing yards Week 3 Coleman accrued 14 carries for 75 yards and gathered in three of four targets for 17 yards during Saturday's 24-19 defeat against Washington State.

Impact Coleman fell below 100 rushing yards for the first time since transferring to Washington. The 5-foot-9, 229-pounder eclipsed the century mark twice despite logging 16 and 11 carries in Weeks 1 and 2. While Coleman's overall workload didn't change much Saturday, didn't face a rushing defense that was as easy as what Weber State and Eastern Michigan put out there. He also wasn't set up for success on what was the deciding play of the game, as Coleman was met behind the line of scrimmage for a two-yard loss on an option pitch to the short-side of the field. Still he's been very productive with his relatively moderate workload, averaging 7.5 yards across 41 carries through three games. He'll look to remain efficient during next Saturday's conference opener at home versus Northwestern.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Breaks long run in big win Coleman totaled 11 rushes for 104 yards and gathered in four of five targets for 29 yards during Saturday's 30-9 victory over Eastern Michigan.

Impact Coleman saw a little less usage out of the backfield Week 2. But, he still made the most of his opportunities with a 67-yard rush that set up a 13-yard passing touchdown for Will Rogers late in the first half. Coleman also popped up in the passing game with a career-high five targets Saturday. Across 13 games last year, the Arizona transfer nabbed 25 of 31 targets for 283 yards and a score. Should he get more involved in the passing game moving forward, then Coleman should easily enjoy the most productive season of his career despite the tough upcoming schedule in the Big Ten. He'll look to keep the ball rolling in non-conference play during next Saturday's matchup versus in-state rival Washington State.

SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Three scores in UW debut Coleman totaled 16 carries for 127 yards and three touchdowns and hauled in all two targets for 19 yards during Saturday's 35-3 victory over Weber State.

Impact Coleman announced his presence with three red-zone scores during his first game with the Huskies. The Arizona transfer showed the same physical running style that he showcased while tallying 6.8 yards per carry on 128 rushes in 13 games last season. He also logged over three times as many carries as the Huskies' next closest running back in Cameron Davis (five). While the opponent didn't provide much in terms of a measuring stick, Coleman's impressive stat line Week 1 could indicate that he's on track to be one of the most productive running backs in the Big Ten this season. He could have a chance to log even more carries Week 2 if Washington ends up in a tighter game versus Eastern Michigan this coming Saturday.

Asserts himself as lead back Coleman logged 17 carries for 77 yards and caught his only target for negative six yards during Saturday's 27-10 win over UCLA.

Impact Though the numbers were not anything crazy, Saturday's contest showed that Arizona has chosen to ride with Coleman as their starter going forward. Fellow running back Michael Wiley was the starter early on in the season, but Coleman's performances as of late seem to have elevated him to the top of the depth chart. As such, the sophomore running back is the running back to roll with in this backfield.

Sees regression alongside Riley Coleman had 11 carries for 55 yards and caught their only target for two yards during Saturday's 27-24 victory over Oregon State.

Impact Michael Wiley's absence was a huge boon to Coleman's output, but the veteran's return has slightly derailed what was already a breakout year for the sophomore. He should still be able to execute some breakout plays, but the backfield has regressed into a committee situation.
