Hole Poll: Who will lead the Gophers in rushing yards in 2013?
Barring injury Kirkland. I think Williams and Edwards will be near each other if Edwards proves he can pass protect at least as well as Williams.
Kirkwoodland. No doubt.
An interesting poll would be who will lead in receiving yards. There are 4 or 5 WR that I wouldn't be surprised if they do lead the team.
There is absolutely no chance Kirkland leads the Gophers in rushing yardage.
And it's Darnell Kirkland for the win!
Actually, I put my vote in for Rodrick Williams Jr. Just a gut feeling (or maybe that's just the wife's chili, and yes, just like Brewster, she makes it hot), but he really impressed me since stepping in during the Northwestern game last season, and it was sort of like you could see the promise and potential (and growth) almost game by game in a part-time role, until he arguably outplayed Donell in the bowl game vs. Texas Tech.
I like Donell too, very much. I feel we've got a very talented and highly diversified set of backs so far as skill-sets go, and operating behind this offensive line just beginning to gel and come together, I can dream of big, big things for our RB's as a whole, and for Phillip Nelson too.
