As far as I'm concerned, coach can rotate all 8 of them, if we can come even remotely close to the offensive production of the 2011 team, when we rotated 2.

I expect at least a few people will disagree :)

LOL...now that would be interesting.

Man, this kid can hit the holes with some attitude. A bigger Adonis Thomas would be real nice

Wow, heckuva run by Swanson at the 0:28 mark. Anyone think he was down or was it a legit TD? He's got speed and can hit the holes between the tackles. Looks like a solid back.

According to the new UT beat writer, true freshman Terry Swanson is emerging to become the No.2 RB. That would mean the kid has some serious talent because we bring back a bunch of young backs that showed spurts of high potential last season.

Also, don't we have 4 senior starting offensive linemen? Might even be all 5...good thing we stocked up on OL recruits for the 2015 class.

Thanks for the information. This is great news about Swanson showing up big. Hunt is a proven back, while Jones-Moore and Remy have shown some flashes of potential with Jones-Moore leading those two from what I have seen. Who was the back from Florida that came in as a freshman and did a great job? Morgan Williams I believe. Bummer he only lasted a year. Trinity Dawson produced as a freshman as well, but the talent level was low when they came in. Swanson showing up big like this is great news considering so many recruited backs never pan out, or only pan out late in there career. I don't think UT is all that deep with proven solid backs, even though there is talent and potential.

Thanks for the update.

Morgan Williams was from Canton McKinley, he had a huge game as a Redshirt Frosh against Miami. Was a solid contributor throughout the remainder of his career, but was out performed by Adonis Thomas.

Morgan Williams dwindling stats are quite astonishing:

freshman year- 1,000+ yards and 6 TD (included a 330-yard rushing performance with 3 TDs against Miami OH)
sophomore year- 444 yards and 2 TD
junior year- 287 yards and 0 TD
senior year- 671 yards and 11 TD

What in the world happened after his freshman season? Seemed to be real promising after his freshman year (just like Kareem Hunt), but then didn't do much. I hope Kareem is the opposite and adds to his numbers as the years go on.

No. The defense will be our strength. Ray Bush may start over Chad Murdock on defense, to close to call. The whole team remembers the Akron game, no repeats this year.

Chad murdock will be a stud. Maybe even better than Chase

Terry Swanson looks and runs bigger than 5'9" 183# in his highlight clips

Very true. He is quick, fast and strong.

Careful, you might confuse a certain someone.
