Not the Taylor Bennett thread if you were going for that.

I think BB is a fairly instinctive position. Some guys get it, some guys don't. Not complicated like A-Back or WR.

Agree, but still has enough to do/learn that more time helps. This year, no one has that kind of experience.

Remember, Chubb did not start until the Gurley fiasco. And even Herscel did not start his first game.

Chubb didn't start because he had a Heisman candidate in front of him on the depth chart. That didn't stop him from running for 70 yards in the opener against one of the best rush defenses in the country in Clemson (including a 47 yard carry), busting out a 23 yard carry the next game on the road against South Carolina. It was pretty clear, even when he wasn't starting, that he was ready to play every down if he had to (he had 31 carries, 224 yards, and 2 TDs in his first 5 games as a backup) with all but 10 of the yards coming against Clemson or SEC teams.

It does not matter who starts! What matters is what you do when you get in there. Last year Laski was the starter however when Day's got a chance he made the best of the situation thus the 1-2 punch we had. I would love to see all three of them play, and do well. That would be the best of all worlds.
