Ok, my question is with Riggs Jr, as the solid #1, and both Williams and Foster doing a great job so far in spring training. Will the 2 Freshman coming in get a shot or is it pretty much decided they will redshirt? I would really like to see Coker on the field.

Coker won't play this year. He doesn't know the blocking schemes well enough.

I agree. With our offense, the RB must know the blocking in order for us to have success. It's one thing to be fast and strong and be able to hit a hole, but it takes a while for a young man to study assignments and understand how to pick up delayed rushers/corners, safeties, etc. As a general rule, a year of redshirting is not a bad thing when you're 18 years old.

I have a gut feeling that Riggs is going to wind up playing second fiddle to either Foster, Williams or one of the true freshman who steals the show.

If Williams and Foster can block.....maybe. We won't see any freshman this year unless the injuries start piling up. That could happen the way things have been going though.

if im not mistaken i think jakouri williams redshirted last year and i think so did arian foster so they wouldnt red shirt this year. I think coker will make some great plays but williams looked really good saturday. we&#39;ll see what happens
