It looks like Houston will be ready to go Saturday.

I want to see Davis get some good touches in this one.What has his total yardage been against Fla?

 

[GAVol]

With all the rain that's coming, I'm betting on 50+ carries. There will be plenty for everybody.

I like the last yardage one ,let's hope he get's one of them kinda days.

Davis can can flat out find the end zone against Florida.

 

[OrangeCrush18]

I look for Riggs to step up and make a big impression.

How about a big impression in the middle of Channing Crowder's chest?

I don't care if Davis only gets 1 yard if he can score 3 TDs a la Jerome Bettis last week in the NFL.

ditto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would bet on Houston. Riggs is probably a better runner, but he's had a little trouble holding onto the ball in the past, and that scares the hell out of me, with the weather and all.

 

[Volstorm]

Houston will get hurt again and Riggs will take over.

 

[nothingbutOrange]

I wouldn't be suprised to see Schaeffer as the leading rusher, but picked Larkins. The only way Riggs will lead all carriers will be if they duct tape the ball to his hands or shove it .......well, you get the idea. Riggs is my only concern due to the weather because he doesn't seem to be able to hang on to the ball when it's dry.

 

[Volstorm]

Houston has the same tendancy as Riggs.

 

[OrangeCrush18]

Knock on wood Volstorm.

 

[volmanjr]

They better give it to Davis...he's got Florida's #

 

[OrangeCrush18]

We were right about 2 things. Who would lead the team in yds and that Davis would find the endzone. Nice job men and women. :good:

Riggs 15 Att, 63 Yds
Houston 9 Att, 59 Yds
Shaeffer 7 Att, 44 Yds
Larkins 4 Att, 14 Yds
Davis 6 Att, 11 Yds
Ainge 2 Att, 1 Yd
Tinsley 1 Att, 0 Yds

Riggs had more yards but Houston was more productive.

 

[volmanjr]

This team is definitely a "by committee" team - 2 qbs, 5 rbs all making quality contributions , and so many Wrs I cann't keep up with them all..... I just hope the D can plug the holes .

Houston seemed to me to get a few BIG runs but then get stopped for no-gain. That is really what he's done his whole career to push his career yardage up so high, but come up short in big situations and even sometimes in big games.

However, Riggs seemed to me to consistantly make yards on every carry without breaking a long one.

IMHO, I would rather have the consistant back that makes yards every time than one who will make a 10-yarder then a no-gainer. I want a back who I can trust will make the yards on 3rd down... and I think Riggs is the one who can do that on a more consistant basis. And, if Riggs starts breaking some long one, like we know he's capable of, then he'll actually look better statistically than Houston. Not to say that Houston is not playing great... I still think Riggs is better.

:twocents:

 

[OrangeCrush18]

I just have to look at the stats and what i have seen. Riggs hasn't shown me enough but Houston shows his ability everytime out.

If he could only get 100%, then we would see him shine. I think we all have to remember he is far from 100% and still is a explosive back.

I would rather have Ced if he could just get healthy. :twocents:

 

[allvol]

Houston has 21 carries
Houston has 7 runs of greater than 10 yards (33.3%)

I think the Vols have 2 great RBs... actually 4. I also think, however, that Riggs will end up leading the Vols in rushing this season.

 

[GAVol]

Good stuff Allvol :good:

We can always count on you to break down the numbers for us.

 

[Volstorm]

One thing we have over other boards, we have stat guys like no other.
