Oh, you rookies.... 
Barry played HS football in Kansas. Emmitt Smith was the last Florida RB to top 3k

Oh, my bad.  Thanks for the correction Bucknut.
Nevertheless, it's not bad company to be in. |

I think Pittman/Haw will have a good year at worst in my homeristic opinion. Both have great speed & vision and should be running behind a very improved OL. Schnittker seems like he will pick up where Brandon Joe left off as a big back for short yardage, and he may even have a little more speed than Joe (judging solely from the spring game however... anyone have measurables on the two guys?).
The guy that no one should sleep on is Freddie Lenix. I really see him coming in and getting a really good shot at gunner, but he's got serious speed and is 195 lbs so size will not be as much as an issue as with Wells. I think he could be a solid backup option.
He said he wanted to come in and try and get on the field as a RB.
Anderson is supposed to have some ability and probably will not be needed on defense this year.

We have a lot of young talent there at RB, but the only guy that is really proven is Pittman. I think he solidified his hold on the #1 spot in the Spring. He just looked like a starter out there in the SG.

Agreed. I think Pittman proved he is THE guy at RB, tho it seems Haw is a very capable #2. The biggest thing I saw was that #25 didn't seem undersized anymore. He isn't going to run over anybody, but he is able to run through contact much better. Last year you could tell he was a frosh that needed some time in the weightroom.

That sounds like a good thing. The fullback is suppose to meet the linebacker in the hole every time
