    Farley stated today that he hyper-extended the same knee that was injured earlier. He does expect that he will play.

    He also said Corey Lewis injured his sprained ankle again but is also expected to play.

        Law is third string and has played well when given the chance. He needs to protect the ball better though. Brookins is fourth string. Both are stronger running backs than Whitney IMHO.

        Grace has a cannon for an arm and good size. I am looking forward to seeing him play but am very hopeful it is not this year. Farley and Sanders said that this injury is not something that is going to get worse by playing (unless he takes a hit on it) so he should be better this coming week and will hopefully continue to get better through the season.

          i'm equally as worried as to our tailback situation. C Lewis is an absolute stud & Williams may not be far behind. We need to find a way to get both healthy. It would be nice to put one on ice early one of these weeks & then get them out of the game.

            Whitney Lewis is a receiver now.

            I think Brookins and Law would be more than serviceable if called upon in a big situation. They have run the ball hard when asked. The big thing with the RBs being depended on to pick up the blitz. Most RBs in college can run hard but what separates them is reliability in protection.

              Brookins will be a real stud, but he did fumble that Kickoff return at Iowa State. That might have been a concern.

              Hopefully we can get the personnel where we used to bring in Peter Burns, William Freeney (LB crew) to get the short yardage when needed.....

                Andre Allen and William Freeney...ahh yes. Bruisers they were. I wouldn't mind seeing Brannon Carter carry the ball; he seems to have good hands with the ball...

                  Brannon "Don't Call me Richard" Carter and James Ruffin would look awesome in the backfield!
