| Tailback Competition
Read on volquest today that the competition at running back is wide open. What are your thoughts on who the starter will be and why that is the case? I'm just curious to see how it plays out, because heading in I thought Lane would for sure be our #1 guy. Personally I wouldn't mind seein D Young back there. Go Vols!

| I don't know who will eventually carry the load, but I have confidence that Jay Graham will play the right backs. | |

| Neal benches 415 and runs a 4.36 - If this guy can hold on to the ball, he is going to tear it up this year

| Recently we've had issues with following blocks and running through holes without getting tripped up in the wash... | |

Go Vols! | Young isnt an every down type back and even he said and knows that. Neal scares me every time he touches the ball. Hopefully his fumbling has been taken care of. Lane can be a very good RB if he ever trusts his knee completely. Cant wait to see what Bourque, Smith, Watson and Hill can do. | |

| I see us using Neal and Lane back and forth a lot. Young may run some sweeps or something like that.
