Per our resident football writer, the best 2 rb we'll face all year are a 1st year freshman (who was a 3 star recruit out of FL) and a transfer from Western Carolina. Talent is clearly out there and available, but we seem to have stacked a room full of players not worthy of playing. Mafah can be very productive but isn't dynamic and is clearly playing hurt. On the 2nd point, he's been a heat-seeking missile for the sidelines for at least the last month in order to avoid contact. On an aside rant, the 4th down quick pitch to him, to the short side of the field, with no blocking, against 3 defenders, may have been the worst conceived call of the year.
I digress. The state of the RB room is pitiful. After this year we're clearly hoping that a true freshman will come and take the reigns because we've shown no one else has it. I'm not sure why EZ hasn't been given any opportunity, but I'll assume it's some combination of only playing him 4 games and him not being ready to play. For as great a player as Spiller was for Clemson, I just haven't seen anything as a coach so for that makes me believe he's an asset on the staff. RB is rivaling DE for quality...and that's not a compliment.
