Definitely need him to step up - hopefully he's the real deal and can give Zach a blow (5-6 carries/game would be good).

We have the best running back in the conference in one Zachary Line, so my hope is that he gets to carry the ball 20-plus times in every game this season (including in our fourth straight bowl game, of course). Williams needs to get healthy. Dugal, Wimbley and Nlemchi need to be insurance policies and spot fill-ins (not to mention special teams monsters) this year, and our resident running wrestling champ (Prescott Line) needs to redshirt, live in the weight room and learn from our stable of talented runners.

Can't wait for spring ball!

4th bowl indeed. The reason he didn't play in this last one could be do to overuse. He definitely needs to take the lion share of snaps, but if we want him to still be at or near 100% by end of the season, he needs a blow. Good news is that Williams and Wimbley got some good experience this year but Williams might not be 100% at all next year and Wimbley is not a gamebreaker (setting aside the long Rice run). Nlemchi is the gamebreaker who needs 5 carries/game to rest Zach.

Neimchi please! He is a bad dude and will elevate the running game even more....Zach has earned it, but give Neimchi some carries and watch what he can do...

Not bad - I wonder what his 40 time is - does he have breakaway speed.

4.5 and 33" vertical in HS---- and he is now over 230 pounds I would guess by the looks of him...strong like bull. Not the fastest, but crafty.

A three-star Rivals.com, ESPN.com and FoxSports.com recruit... Rated by Rivals as the No. 36 running back in the nation and the 78th-best player overall in Texas... Named an All-American by PrepStar Magazine... Named one of Dave Campbell's Texas Football's five 5A "Money Players" and the preseason Offensive MVP... Ranked as the No. 102 player in the state by Scout... Named to MaxPreps.com's Texas Top 300... Rushed for over 1,200 yards and 18 touchdowns and added two receiving touchdowns as a senior... Carried 284 times for 2,388 yards and 28 touchdowns as a junior... A 2009 APSE and TexasFootball.com Class 5A first-team All-State selection... Named the 2009 Houston Offensive Player of the Year by the Houston Chronicle... Chose SMU over offers from Arkansas, Tulsa, Tulane and Utah.

He committed to SMU early and was strong in his commit, otherwise he would have had many other offers listed...shared time his senior year and numbers were down.

To my knowledge he has not even dressed for a game yet. I do not know what the deal is but it is hard to play if you are not in uniform. I think Zach is doing ok.

Really. Well I guess KC doesn't have a chance then.
