Not that I think we have to use 3 backs, but I suspect we'll have a 3rd ready to go (and may see a few carries). There are only two options:
R-Soph David Smith 5'10", 205 lbs
R-Soph Daniel Brooks 5'8", 185 lbs
Neither were able to make much of a move up the roster this summer, but I think both could be useful. They are both in their third year in the system, so that's a plus, but there's probably a good reason why we haven't seen David Smith to this point. He's got the size, and looks the part, but other than some special teams, he hasn't seen any carries. Brooks actually got a carry in the LaTech game (for 2 yards), and also plays special teams. Brooks is small, but has speed. I actually thought he may have been moved to WR at some point, but that hasn't happened.
Thoughts? Will we even see a third back this weekend?
