Hey War,
Good luck this season.... I have a tiger question for you.
Everything I have seen and everything I hear gives no light on the starting tailback. Lester looks like the guy but has been hurt and we all know he has never been a saint off the field. Tate was hobling around and they last thing I heard is Coach T refering to both of them as his "back-up" backs when talking about the other as the starter. Is there something I am missing? Tate and Lester look like a split carry situation like the one they are facing at QB but I do not think Auburn wants so many rotating players in key positions.

I have a friend down there but he has not come up with any clear answer. All I get is one day it is this guy and then it looks like the other.

Any info is appreciated. Thanks
Cheers
Irish

hey irish...

the "starting tailback" means squat with the stable of backs that we have. i would tell you to expect to see roughly the same amount of attempts out of lester and tate with a sprinkle of true frosh eric smith mixed in as you saw in our bowl game against clemson. obviously if one gets hot he will get more carries than the other, but for the sake of handicapping purposes i would figure that they would get roughly the same carries per game until one or the other gets hurt

rotating players at key positions is no problem, just ask caddy williams and ronnie brown

I agree the rotation won't be bad at RB but they are looking at QB too... either way they have talent.

GL this season
