Running Back Depth Issues?

Thinking back on the way carries were distributed during the UNC game, I thought a couple of things were noteable:

1. Keene taking snaps at running back
2. King didn't seem to make an appearance
3. Even with the above being true, McClease was the only "true" running back getting carries all night.

So what's the deal? Is King hurt? Do we really have no other running backs who can step in that we had to have a tight end taking snaps at running back? I think it hurts us that Keene has to do that, he's a true receiving threat that teams have to account for when he's allowed to play his natural position.

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"
