ok
Well first of all, having a strong running game for the next couple of years really doesn't relate to oklavol's question very well. Next year Arian will still be here, so that's not being discussed. The year afterward, the heir apparent is Montario Hardesty, whom okla mentioned is frequently injured. The next two guys are still unproven. I'd personally like to see another good back recruited just in case Creer gets hurt returning kicks (see Andre Caldwell) or he doesn't learn how to hold onto the ball. Poole has yet to play a down of college football so it's a bit premature to say he's ready to carry the load. The bottom line is that life after Foster is still somewhat uncertain and UT would do well to have a loaded stable ready to try out for his spot.
