I think lane will be fine once he gets healthy, but towards the end of last season he was about as lazy of a runner I have seen. Bourqe should be pretty good.

i think marlin lane looks a like a good back. catches well out the backfield too.

key is the o-line

Neal has the tools to be a very good SEC back. His skill set compliments our current strength. All he has to do is run hard and hold on to the ball!

My vote would go to Tiny. Running back may be a misnomer with him but I can't wait to see him pancaking people into the endzone.

I don't know when we play the razorbacks again (not in 2012) but when we do I hope Tiny blows Otha up on the goal line.

I'm ready to see a healthy Lane Train. Here's hoping the line can get better at opening holes up for him.

I think Lane and Neal will be great. If Neal can get rid of that fumblitis, he can be elite. Lane showed flashes last year of what could be another Hardesty type runner IMO

Neal with a RB coach to help with the fumbling can be special. Him and Lane could be a solid 1-2 punch this year, allowing Bourque a year to mature.

Behind our great offensive line that we can now utilize. Wow, guys I'm excited about every single running back we have. Neal will be back at RB where he belongs thanks to CJG and CP. Thats a very talented listed of powerbacks and small shifty speed backs. Its very hard to choose one! Go Vols! :loco:

I think we are going to see a lot out of Neal. He will move back to his natural position and will thrive. I can see Lane becoming a solid back. Lane needs to put his time in the weight room and put on some size and muscle. I can see Lane 10-15 pounds heavier playing a major role this year. I think the offensive line will benefit from a new voice and I look for the O-line to be a force like it was under Fulmer and Majors.

I honestly think Dooley would have never pulled Neal from the RB rotation had we not been so thin at Wide Reciever. I think had he never been pulled from the RB rotation he would be the top RB in the spring. I look for good things out of him. He has been stated to be the fastes guy on the team so if he can hold on to the damn ball I think he will get plenty of carries and will be a homerun threat in the back field.

agree, good thing is i remember them saying he was spliting time in practice at both RB and WR last year. i think neal may be the man this year.

Although Borque was highly publicized I'm wondering if Hill cud be the missing power back we haven't seen in a while. He definitely has the size to take a SEC schedule. Rotating Lane, Borque, Neal and Hill cud be fun to watch (just ask LSU about a 4RB rotation)

I dunno about Neal. He seems to fumble too much. I do like the kid though. Im most eager to see what Lane can do. Even D Young now that he will have a yr to put on weight. We'll see about Borque (sp)

bourque has got the right attitude for a RB, hit them before they can hit you.

I don't really care to see what Devrin can do besides kick returns. Looking forward to see what Bourque can do though.
