I think one of those two guys could be the Day 1 starter, but I can't lie, I'm kinda hoping one of the freshmen come in and just light it up, just to bring a freshness to the running game that just seems kinda stale at this point.
I'll put it even more succinctly: I just want the Gophers to light it up...
having only seen film on Lamonte Edwards he is the real deal. I think you are going to see the second comming of Darrell Thompson.
Eskridge and Bennett combine a lack of power with no breakaway speed. Too often they go down at first contact. They have no base, carry no load, and cannot deliver a blow. They are not elusive in the open field. They both are too small to play Big 10 at its highest level.
Having said that, and having only seen film on Lamonte Edwards he is the real deal. I think you are going to see the second comming of Darrell Thompson. I think Lamonte committed to Minnesota because he saw the lack of a power back on the roster. So, Lamonte is my guy.
I think if we are depending on Eskridge and Bennett to get us some yards then we are in trouble. I think one of the freshmen will step up and have a big year.
How about Devon White? His bio had him leading Broward County in rushing both his junior and senior seasons. The thing I'm confused about is that his team was only 4-6 last year. I'm hoping that he was a great player on an average team. It just seems to me that teams with dominant running backs should win a high proportion of their games.

Yeah, he's a hell of a player. I'm surprised he has any eligibility left. Maybe he could help John Anderson's squad next spring. He's gotta be at least 50, though.
That's not the only thing you're confused about.
