It will be interesting to see what happens to Williams and McKenzie. Will they be redshirted if Shai makes it back from suspension? I have enough confidence that other guys will do the job and we will be fine.

I hope we can redshirt them both and give them a nice long recovery period. If we can do that then there will be no question that both will be 100% by 2016

These Hokies aren't out of the woods yet, and running backs coach Shane Beamer's rotation of backs is sure to be dissected and criticized more than Wells Report -- it's a message board past time --

It's more than a MB past time. You just can't have a 5 back rotation.

That's probably why Beamer hasn't tried it

I was using some sarcasm. But, he has used 4. The only time he's used 5 in a game it was vs a WMU, etc. A 2 back rotation with an occasional change of pace 3rd back is, IMO, ideal.

I think you are right on the money
