He may not be winning this "contest," but I'll tell you that he might be the most IMPORTANT back in the SEC this year. A solid running game will be essential to the installation of a new (albeit revamped-old) offense for Tennessee, and possibly to the tenure of the coaching regime. Also, if he can step-it-up, it will take pressure off the QB position, which we all know is crucial. IMO, if the O-line can get in shape and play to the level demanded at Tennessee, Foster will be very, very exciting this year.
Good luck to Arian, and best wishes to you FM!
