Stephen Simmons is out(season?) as far as I understand.  He was injured returning a kick vs. Duke.  

McMannis returned kicks vs. SIU and Ebert returned kicks vs. Ohio.

Concannon had an assisted tackle vs. Ohio.

I think Conteh will be fine when they adjust the gameplan to suit him, but I agree depth is an issue, but then again you don't see many other teams playing beyond 2 deep in regards to tailback.

This CJ game reminded me of Baz and Air Farce.  The difference...we won vs. Ohio.

As CJ lost control I don't know why we didn't go to screen/swing passes to Conteh.  I think that would have been effective and less risky.  WR screens lack the YAC that RB screens seem to generate.

Good points, Tom.

<snip>I also worry about our depth at running back.  Who do we
have behind Conteh?  A sophomore and three freshmen (two redshirt and one true) by my tally, none of whom have much if any game experience.  Who's next in line--Simmons, maybe?  I was excited about Concannon when he committed a couple of years ago but I haven't really heard much about him since then.  Here's hoping Tyrell is up to full speed again quickly.
