RE: Name the '11' offensive starters for the BSU game
Not to be a Debbie Downer but I really don't care who starts. Some of the non-starters will likely contribute more anyway. Guys like Reed, Allen, Russell, etc. may not start but could be valuable play makers.
It'll also be very interesting to see who the 3rd RB is (assuming Sherrer and Greene are 1 and 2). Hill?, Brumfield?, Lewis?

Reed seems like a lock to start, but you're right. "Starting" doesn't necessarily matter, since Russell, Reed, etc. see plenty of time anyway. This goes for RB too.
I think the 3rd RB will be Hill. English speaks very highly of him...a pretty big guy who is arguably the fastest player on the team.
Unless Lewis looks like a world beater right now, I'd redshirt him (unless English promised Juwan that he wouldn't...). We are SO deep at the position that it seems like a wasted year of eligibility to have Lewis be the 5th string RB.
