    Coleman in the first half of the season was pretty good. He was the best back on the team. Then he got hurt and was slower than ever and started running like a bitch.

    I won't be surprised if he's door.ass.out after the year and I won't be surprised if he carves out a decent role this year. Either way it will be interesting.

    Austin Joyner should be the RB of the future for the doogs. His Maxpreps page said he had 115 carries last year and 27 went for TDs, with a 13 ypc average overall. Stats are for losers, but 1 touch out of every 4 going for TDs is pretty crazy regardless of the competition

    I'm sure Petersen will find some way to get the ball in his hands, but every interview he's given, he's said he wants to be a CB, and he backs this up by saying RBs don't last that long in the NFL as compared to CBs. He still has a ways to go before thinking about the NFL, but it seems he won't change his mind any time soon.

    That said, he's a threat with the ball, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him on KOR this year, especially with Ross out, and as a gunner on punts.

    Joyner ain't come here to play school running back

    Thank you for saying more of what I was trying to say. His natural instincts and consistency aren't there but if he improves a little in those categories, it will mean a lot for the offense.

    Hurst had more burst (so pleased with myself) and more wiggle than Coleman. Maybe Coleman losing 5-10 lbs will help there but he's a pounder and a grinder. Dotson will be the lightning to his and DW's thunder with DB "Crazy Legs" Cooper also getting some carries in his 60th season.

    DW was a different back when he returned from injury. The natural instincts will be hard for him to improve or develop but the fact that he turned things around gives me some hope. He is a home run hitter and can be a solid back if he improves his consistency. He's not going to help us against Oregon or Stanford but his home run ability can make a difference against the Arizonas and Cals.

    I also think everyone here is giving up on Coleman too soon. He had 565 yards at 4.1 yards per carry. Not great but he's fairly consistent at getting positive yards, the problem is speed and elusiveness. He was only a freshman and has 3 years left. Willie Hurst averaged only 3.6 yards per carry as a freshman then averaged 4.7 his last 3 years. I read that Coleman shed a few lbs. Hopefully competition from DW and Gaskin will make Coleman positively surprise this season.
