I am anxious to see him play. Will he see any play time this year or will he be red shirted.

Seeing how Marlin Lane is on vacation, I think Derrell Scott plays this year. I can't wait to see him in the game. I have a feeling he will end up being a UT great.

I don't understand your comment. Lane appears to me to be running as hard as he always has. He may not be as talented as Hurd and Scott, but he seems to me to be trying.

On the Swain Event, they said he looked hesitant to hit the hole and go. They said he was playing slow. Maybe he does not know the offense as well as he should. Not sure myself since I have no idea how to spot stuff like that.

Has been that way his whole career

No such thing as trying. You either do or you don't.

I just meant that he appears to be absent most of the game. Now, it could be the coaching staff trying to get Hurd a lot of experience quickly, but as another poster mentioned, Lane has gotten bumped down under every staff.

I thought Lane would have a breakout year and that we'd rarely see Hurd in 2014, but so far I was way off.

WHAT! Marlin Lane runs a 4.5 40. He is definitely not slow...he is hesitant because no matter how fast you are, it would be pointless to run straight into the back of an Orange jersey. He is waiting for the line to create the gap to shoot. Hurd and Scott are more agile and better at making people miss after they get through the line but they hesitate the same way Lane does.

I think with our agile RB's and strong receivers, we should use the sweep toss more often to give them some open space. Takes away from play action but I think it gives them some room to work.

I'd actually like to see Lane take the handoff and run straight at the hole, orange jersey there or not. Hell, maybe he'd give our guy the push he needed to move the DL out of the way.

LOL. I'd be cool with that as long as he didn't fall on the back of an OL knee/ankle. We can't afford those injuries.

His 4.5 looks like a 5.0.. More of a glider.. When is the last time anyone saw him hit and get through the hole like a rocket?

Barring injury... He should finish near the top ten in career rushing yards (2000+/- yards) at UT.. Hard to believe but check the stats

Lane is quality and deserves to start. He runs hard and gets tough extra yards. We will see a balance all season to keep both healthy. We do not need either going down

I'm sure this has been tossed out but dang Worley looks like Keanu Reeves. I want to see him giving hi fives to Patrick swazye on the side lines

Lane is often caught from behind. We need runners who can take it to the house when they break into the secondary. Hurd is likely the one who can do that most often this year.

Lane looks hesitant because there is no hole most of the time. Hurd is running hard but it's at a brick wall of defenders most of the time. Got to fix that if we're going to run the ball the rest of the season with any effectiveness.

Lane has looked just as good if not better than Hurd, IMO. Especially if you watch the USU game again. I don't mind Hurd starting because he is the future and they are both pretty equal but let's not start throwing our SR tailback under the bus because we have a new 5 star. Lane will be needed this season and you can see he is ready. They both just need some blocking.
