After a dead horse is beaten, what's the next level? That's where we are with this, but I don't think we are likely to see a lot change this year with our RB situation baring injuries. This is based my observations with Mullen's depth charts over the years.
I'm concerned, however, about our RB situation going into next season. I am very afraid that our RB depth chart will look the same next year.
Holloway and Shump do not suck as RBs, they just aren't every down SEC caliber backs. Both are highly skilled in certain areas, and should be used in ways that maximize their strengths.
2 questions:
If the depth chart doesn't change, could we end up pissing the freshmen off to where 1 of them transfers? You know Lee has to know he's the better runner over Shump and Holloway.
What are the realistic chances that we actually see Holloway and Shump moved to positions they are more suited for (next season)? Whether that's Shump to defense, or relegated to passing downs, and Holloway a change of pace back that offers some good speed off the edges/around the corners.
