Love the confidence but he will have his work cut out for him.
McGahee backed up Portis and Gore even though he was more gifted athletically.
No gurantees in this game but having Yearby, Scarlet, Walton, and Williams finally resembles the back field of 2001. Competition will take all of these guys to another level.
Here is the RB/FB roster from 2001 Championship Team:
28 Clinton Portis RB Jr. 5-11 195 Gainesville, FL/Gainesville
32 Frank Gore RB Fr. 5-10 190 Coral Gables, FL/Coral Gables
2 Willis McGahee RB R-Fr. 6-1 225 Miami, FL/Central
4 Najeh Davenport RB Sr. 6-2 245 Miami, FL/Central
35 Quadtrine Hill RB Fr. 6-2 210 Sunrise, FL/Piper
34 Jarrett Payton RB So. 6-2 205 Arlington Heights, IL/St. Viator
3 Jason Geathers WR So. 6-3 210 Delray Beach, FL/Spanish River
40 Kyle Cobia FB R-Fr. 6-2 231 Lakeland, FL/Lakeland
Let's see:
*Duke = Portis
Yearby = Gore
Scarlett = McGahee
Gus = Davenport
Gray = Hill
Walton = Payton
Williams = Geathers
Tucker = Cobia
RB U!
*If he pulls a Ed Reed and comes back for his Ring.
This offense will be fun to watch with the above stable and:
QB: Kaaya
WR: Coley, Walters, Berrios, Malcom, Scott
TE: Dobbard, Herndon, Njoku
OL: Flowers, Isadora, Linder, McDermott, Gadbois, Darling, Gall, Odogwu
This can be a championship caliber offense next year if we get Duke and Flowers back.
with this O starting line up
do we need a JUCO TE to give upper class depth?
is there one of value out there?
Nah, I like the guys we have and most JUCOs expect to start like Sandland. I want Dobbard to get his shot and I think Njoku could be the receiving TE..
Scarlett will be the best RB on the roster next year

Here is how the D will look:
DT: Jenkins, Huertlou, Kamalu, Wyche, Moten
DE: Thomas, AQM, McCord, Jackson, Patchan
LB: Kirby, Grace, Owens, Young, Perry
CB: Burns, Howard, Corn, A. Crawford
S: Bush, Carter, R. Jenkins, J. Johnson, D. Crawford
We'll have a better secondary and DL. LB is where we need to add more depth and try to replace DP. This defense has potential to be better next year and should be solid enough to keep us in most games.
Maybe we can get EJ back from JC, that would be awesome...
Scarlett will be the best RB on the roster next year
I think Yearby and Scarlett will compliment each other nicely. I don't think its an either/or situation.
Yes, but what about Gus, Williams, Gray, and Walton? I think the best 3-4 will play. Scarlett will be good but he will have to earn it.
+1Scarlett will be the best RB on the roster next year
Anyone know if any of the freshman RB's are coming in the spring?
