This is good to hear
Hamilton expects Taylor to receive upwards of 30 carries per game.

It’ll take a whole lot of pressure off of whoever ends up at QB.

Depending on what Gaffney does at the end of this year (whether he comes back next year for football or goes straight into the baseball draft), it sounds like our offense will resemble the ’09 Gerhart year, except with multiple guys in the backfield.

I'm totally fine with that.

Another reason I have more confidence in our team than the rest of the country.

I'd be surprised if Taylor gets around 30 or more a game

Just because there are so many running backs. Ricky Seale has been apparently running really well; Wilkerson can chip in with some nice outside runs; Kelsey Young will probably get some totes out of the backfield as well as playing the WR role; Remound Wright has been out this spring but got some praise from Shaw pre-spring, and that’s before considering the Gaffney situation. There’s just too much talent to let one guy get that many carries.

And of course

there’s a guy named “Sanders” coming in next year.

Redshirt?

I really don’t see where the carries are going to come from for Sanders. I wouldn’t be surprised if he redshirts even though I’d love to see what he can do immediately

A Sanders redshirt

Wouldn’t shock me at all. In fact, I’d guess it’s more likely than not.
