Who will be UM's leading RB this year?

Pardon the pun, but Shaw seems to be running away with this poll. Glad it's not cox. I don't really want to put cox and poll in the same sentence.
 
Cox did show some nice ability on that long run in the Spring Game, but I think right now the only two guys we've seen enough from in real game action are Smith and Shaw. I don't think Hoke's overly enamored with either of those two. Vincent Smith's days as the feature UM back are hopefully over. Shaw can produce in a prostyle offense, but not as well I think as before. I guess it all depends on how much spread is brought into Borges' hybrid spread/prostyle offense with Denard. In terms of measurables only, Hopkins is the guy. I'm not worried about the breakaway speed b/c at 230 pounds, it's not necessary. If Hopkins has the vision and the balance to go with his size, I think he gets the nod.

lol nice,

But seriously I could make an argument that Cox will start - who knows. I mean he was one of the few players recruited to run in a pro-style system for Lloyd and he's shown flashes, just like some of the others, of being great.
 
Denard Robinson




Really though I want it to be Toussaint or Hopkins. I like their running style
