I went ahead and looked up Rushing statistics for all the teams and years when CBJ coached.

Every year it seemed like they heavily favored 1 RB and their starting QB for the amount of carries.

I'm wondering how this will affect our current RB's and any current recruits/commitments?

OP............we are not the Big East and other more minor conferences. We must have more than one running back in the SEC.(IMO) Any running back is just one snap away from a season ending injury.

I don't think Green wants to share the ball with another RB, so I don't think it matters.

Just a question. What happened to RB Devante Bourque after the injury. Did he enroll somewhere else? I don't recall him being released from his scholarship.

Help??

He got his "feelings" hurt and his but hurt (defensive lineman slammed him in practice) and went home with his tail between his legs.

That can happen antytime anywhere. I don't care if its high school or the NFL, football is football.

That fact will be a selling point for some RBs. That approach is why Bielema kept getting great backs at Wisconsin, for instance.
