    We have had allot of great running backs the last twenty years. Addai, Scott, Hill, Blue, Ware, Hilliard, Vincent, Murphy, Magee and Ford. I just do not see the same amount of depth. One power back? if the true freshman can play.

    In my opinion it is our biggest weakness.

    Hopefully he has been eating a lot for the last year. And working out.

    He had very limited action so nobody really knows what he can do. I don't see him as a back who can get 20-25 touches a game but he could be good if he is used in a suitable role.

    He does to me, but @Bengal B is right, very little to go on. It would be poetic justice if O gets the passing game going but the running game slacks. Kinda like the year with Mettenberger when the defense sucked.

    Clyde is the same size and build as Trent Richardson coming out of highschool. @tirk

    For those that care

    Curry 0.89 value
    Clyde 0.88 value
    Brossette 0.92 value

    LF7 0.99
    Guice 0.979
    Ford 0.9766
    Ware 0.959
    Blue 0.86
    Hilliard 0.94
    Riddell 0.88
    Magee .86

    Now. If all you care about are star values, then our current backfield is no worse than Ridely/Blue/Magee.

    Isn't he 5'8" and about 200? Dalton Hilliard was about that size.

    All up to E to utilize our rb's. With the right scheme the backs we have will be fine. I like CEH and Curry looks good to me.
