If not Choice, then who?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Tashard Choice remains questionable for Saturday’s game at Virginia because of a hamstring injury. Tech coach Chan Gailey said Tuesday that if Choice can’t play it will be running back by committee, and Gailey wouldn’t say who would line up there first.
So, let’s throw it out there for discussion. Which running backs do you use, and in which way, if Choice can’t play?
Rashaun Grant looked good on three carries against Boston College. Is he physically ready to carry the load after a hamstring injury kept him out of practice for weeks?
Jonathan Dwyer ranks second to Choice in carries and has averaged a whopping 7.9 yards per attempt. Can he be dependable enough as a blocker?
Jamaal Evans didn’t play against Boston College but has carried the ball more in his 1.25 seasons than Grant over the same stretch. Is he fast enough to get the job done against an ACC defense?
My guess: You’ll see a lot of Grant and Dwyer, sometimes on the field together.
