I think this will be interesting to watch. My Pick will go to Aldreakis but it was a close call. I think he and SirChauncey will be neck and neck with Mike not too far back.

It will be close. I went with Chauncey. I think he will get more carries and will have a higher YPC average. Aldreakis will be more of a goal line and short yardage back.

It will also vary game by game. Saturday I think MB will be our leading rusher.

went with MIke. I think he will have more carries and thus the potential for more yards but i really hope that i'm wrong because we need a running game other than Mike to open up other options on offense. Plus with Mike carrying the ball so much he could get banged up

I hope Mike's carries go down some this year to protect him. If Chauncey and Al are able to get some good runs going, then Mike will not have to run as much.

do sacks count as negative yards?

I think limiting Mike's carries, especially during the non-conference part of schedule, will be a priority for the coaching staff.

In college and high school, yes. In the NFL, no.

Rooster -- just FYI, it's Korrey Davis. And Holloway is spelling his name Sirchauncey this year, no capital C. Yes, it changes on a year-to-year basis.

i think it will be adrekis and i dont really think it will be that close. i think he'll be the only one really to get anything going against some of the tougher defenses we are going to see this year.

this article makes me think adrekis is going to have a huge year:

This is a surprising run away poll result for AA. Going to be fun

Maybe we should just call Chauncey gutta gutta

WOW, I think the people have spoken. AA is the choice.

Aldreakis surpassed Mike Brown as our leading rusher in the game Saturday against CSU.
