Post Spring Game I am somewhat encouraged at RB.
McCleese: hurt, as usual. It will be good to have him against BC at least.
Holston: could step into the Peoples role, but he too is banged up. He came in and out of the game and appeared to have a leg/knee brace on at times. I'm worried about his health, but I think he's a decent option.
Steward: the man I've been clamoring to hear more about showed up WELL, IMO in the Spring game. Doesn't look big, but runs with power and has some quickness. Even caught a pass. Right now, he's my #1 option as a "big"back. Not elite, but solid.
King: I still believe he'll be the most dynamic RB on the team this fall, and I expect he will earn some PT.
I think if Vice can find the right pieces and get them in the right spots, which I expect to happen, we should have at least a serviceable running game. Unlike @BuffaloTraceHokie below, I don't think our issues are with usage of the RBs, I think it's been with the talent. I believe the talent level at RB for this season is about to be at a slight increase for the first time in the Fuente era.
