"The non-AQ ghosts: Florida Atlantic redshirt sophomore running back Alfred Morris ranks eighth in the country in rushing with 117.50 yards per game, but has gone relatively unnoticed this season by anyone outside of the Sun Belt. Crazy thing is, Morris nearly went unnoticed by his own team. Had it not been for Jeff Blanchard's injury early in spring practice, Morris would be sitting on the bench."

was this another brilliant post by Graham Watson? lol
Had it not been for first baseman Wally Pip to get hurt Lou Gehrig would have never taken over either so I guess things happen for a reason
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

It makes things interesting for us because we're never quite sure who is going to be our next best guy. Thought Stinson was going to give us Morris' production, hoped Amos Wood would be our breakout WR, etc but these guys are still seeing limited time.

She's right, although Blanchard could potentially have been as good as Morris too. It's interesting that Morris was an unheard-of 2 star back when he signed with us while Stinson was a highly-recruited 3 star back… and which one is our hero right now? Morris.

Amos still may be very good, he's seeing limited time because who are you gonna play him over? Gent, Bonner, Jean? I can see a case for Holley but he's actually played well and with 3 TE's theres really not much use for another WR right now. Next year I think will be his break out year

Me too…but he will see more than his fair share next year when Willie graduates…that's the big deal breaker right now…
He is a different style back as well…should be a little more productive on the ground given his size and build, and ability to carry the pack…
Not sure if he can stack up to the blocks Willie lays out though…guy is very solid in that regard…

JVC is ok, but I just don't trust him throwing it yet…I hope he can prove me wrong

Next year we will be run run run. Morris, Barasch, Stinson, VanCamp, plus whoever else…give the defenses plenty of looks.

JVC has made a ton of improvements throwing the ball, he lack experience and will throw picks now an then. He should be able to manage the offense good enough…we'll have to see how he handles full duty.

We seem to be stacked at that position too, a bunch of good looking talent in the wings.
