i know that charles pierre has had an ongoing hip problem (over a year and a half)…makes me wonder what the medical staff can do for someone who looks a lot like a barry sanders type!

while reviewing a few stats after listening to tonight's espn-news broadcast (mostly centered around LSU), i wanted to ask if any of you think we can get a thousand yards out of either one of our top two backs - assuming they stay healthy?

Unless one of the RBs we have is able to gain significantly more yardage per play than the other backs, I don't see it happening. I think Coach S likes to rotate them all out. But then again, what is the point in bringing in recruits like Michael Barasch – a leading rusher at his school – if you don't intend to let him stretch his legs, you know?

However, if I had to pick someone to gain 1000 it would have to be Pierre.

I didn't realize Jackson's YPC were that high, like to see our RB's get back to that number collectively this upcoming season.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.
