"Davis and Spiller were the third and fourth running backs, respectively, in the ACC last year, and neither showed any glaring weaknesses throughout the season...."

Huh? Are you kidding me? Davis, for whatever reason, disappeared down the stretch. After the game with Georgia Tech he was a non-factor and indeed because of his poor play, may have given Spiller the edge to be the starter going into the Spring. Bottom line - Davis HAS to step it up and regain his old form.

Davis was hurt after GT game and Spiller had his ankle rolled at end of USC game and was infeffective. Look for huge commitment to run next year for tigers with some 2 tight end sets and inexperienced qb's. Stop them if you can.
