Around SBN: Todd Haley Is The Steelers Next Offensive Coordinator

OBNUG roster update: Running backs

Spring football gets OBNUG in the mood to speculate, so over the next few weeks, we will be making blind guesses as to who will be starting for the Broncos in the fall. We’ll do it position-by-position. Today: Running Back.

Boise State football starting running back

Ideal candidate: This vehicle:

Alton F-650 XUV

Worst candidate: Ian Johnson 2007

Actual candidates: Ian Johnson, DJ Harper, Jeremy Avery, Doug Martin

OBNUG pick: Ian Johnson

Johnson will win the starting job, but whoever gets to be his back-up will be in good position to replace him next season. We hope it is Doug Martin because we have an unhealthy affection for him and we’ve yet to even see him in person.

I think marriage is a great thing and have a lot of respect for the institution…but it did seem that Ian’s running suffered slightly last year with the ball and chain around his ankle.

What I like about Coach Pete’s offense is that ALL of these guys will get carries. Last year, Harper and Avery both impressed.

We couldn’t be any better at RB and WR this year.

query this….will the crowded backfield lead to one of the backups transfering for more playing time elsewhere?

Man I hope that doesn’t happen
