I really like D. Lindsay...He gets going forward and is hard to bring down.

B. Jackson is also high on my list as well. Quick and powerful runner. With him and DL in the game, we could really grind it out. We really missed him this weekend. W

If we had both DL and BJ in this past game, we could have really gashed up SMU's defense.

J. Williams has not looked the same as he did early last season. Plus he is putting the ball on the ground a lot, not as much as our 6th year QB, but still.

G. Ruffin runs east/west and not North/South. He should not be running the ball inside the tackles on the goal line. He just doesn't hit the hole hard, but he looked pretty good on quick passes.

N. Whitley in his few touches has played a lot like G. Ruffin. IIRC he started out slow last season as well, but then started running much better down hill as the season wore on.

Just my less than educated thoughts about our stable of RB's.

I think we give a heavy dose of Lindsay and Jackson to every team from here on out. Like 20+ carries for each. I like Whitley, he's a good change of pace. Johnathan Williams, I think, has burned all his chances. IMHO, he should be an emergency backup. Ruffin is...yeah. He should be a mop up back, if we're ever lucky enough to need one.
