Will only 3 RB's effect practice?
I am wondering if having only (recruited) 3 rb's on the team adversely impact practice. In general, Haw Pittman and Wells will all need to get reps w/ the 1 offense. You need all three to be ready to play on Saturday. Also, some of them will be used on special teams.
The scout team offense will probably use walk ons at RB vs. the 1 defense.
I'm not sure how scout team is set up normally, but many teams actually run two scout team offense groups at the defense to get maximum reps. So you probably need two scout rb's. Also, a scout team Rb is a higher injury risk than most other postions.
Will not having top quality D1 backs on scout team be a disadvantage? Will someone be like Russell be moved to RB to get additional speed to challenge the defense ?

What's the "CCC" in your moniker stand for? Are you an Command CMSgt in the Air Force or do you work for Correctional Custody somewhere?

Not only that, think back to what happened 2 years ago after clarett was suspended...
both backs were banged up, and we had no one to run the ball in practice. |

Lenix has said that he will start out at RB. Since we don't need him at LB or S next year, I would think he will redshirt and be used as a practice/emergency RB. Although come to think of it, he would be awesome on ST, so maybe there goes the red shirt. A Russell certainly will redshirt, and can fill the same role to give the D good looks during practice.
If they get really desperate, i am waiting by my phone for the call!! It wouldn't do them much good to get just one run out of a practice back though.

He is a lock on STs next year IMO
I believe he is a LB with limited time at RB as a last resort emergency plan...

Where did that come from?
If anybody gets moved for practice or scout team purposes look for Anderson Russell.
Nothing to back it up but I am still looking for Ira Guillford to return as well. |
