Jordan Huff, Draco Smith, Joel Bouagnon or Keith Harris Jr.

Coming in Huff was supposed to be the most talented. Smith was a DB, Bouagnon is going to be a Stingliy type and KHJ showed promise.

It will be interesting.

I would move smith back to DB. Would like to see Harris and huff fight it out for 3rd string and Bouagnon is stinglys back up

KHJ will probably get the most touches outside of Akeem and Stinger. He was having a good year until he got injured and the coaches have always been very high on him. Bouagnon, Smith, and Huff will probably only see garbage time.

I actually went with Huff. Harris has been sufficient, but he is injury prone at this point. I actually would move Smith back to defense or over to WR. We seem to have a surplus of RB's over the next several years including our highly touted recruit D.J. Brown. Given this I don't see many future opportunities for Draco at the position.

I have real high expectations for Huff, but when Bouagnon and Smith got on the field before him last season I was confused...is it that he just isn't picking up the playbook/protections? Or are those guys better? Cause if they're better than my expectations were WAYYYYY to high for this kid

I have a feeling Huff did not pick up the playbook/blocking assignments as fast as other two. With Lynch in there controlling the ball, did not need to have a stud "runner" back there. They were more than adequate. With a new QB this year, the running backs will have more touches and be a bigger part of the offense. Not as many Lynch keepers.

I never knew why everyone was so high on Huff in the first place. I thought Turners tape was a lot more impressive and was bummed when they moved him to WR. I hope Huff is every bit as good as everyone else thinks he will be.

Harris will definitely be the 3rd RB based on his past performances. Huff and Bougnasjhfghsdjh will definitely get some carries though. Smith will be the odd man out in my opinion.

I believe that Huff is the real deal. I think he'll be on the field this year as much as Stingely.

I was not that impressed with Turner last year. I hope he explodes this year with a year under his belt.

He probably should have redshirted, but we were low on bodies and needed someone out there to take snaps.

I think turner will be a exact replica of TLL and maybe has a chance to be better. I like him at wr. I also think smith or bougoonfimg will be redshirted this year. Maybe both

Actually, they wanted to red shirt him because of an injury, by the time he was healthy, the coaches made a decision to redshirt him to give him more time. Believe when I say this Jordan "Bam-Bam" is a "MoFo"!!!

Did you hear what the running back coach said about Huff. He has never witness a running back with a burst like Huff with "one" foot on the ground. It usually takes an NFL running back 2 1/2 steps. Those who understand that, know why we are so high on Huff. And he is NFL protypical size, speed and hands out of the back field!!!!

Poor James Spencer. Anyone know what happened to him?

I am a big fan of Huff. I believe he was hurt his sr year and may not have been quite ready last year. Have not seen him play, but am expecting big things. Damn, our RBs and Oline are DEEP!

I've always liked what he's shown in very limited duty, but I think he suffers from being "not quite" in most areas of his game. He'd play at most MAC schools, in my opinion.

A poll regarding the No. 3 running back ... Aug. 28 kickoff can't come any sooner.

I vote for ACRB.
