Yeldon runs straight up and never lowers his shoulder, it's part of why he fumbles so much. He also is less likelyto take on a defender and usually avoids contact unless he can't. But he is the better blocker.

Drake is a better receiver once he gets the ball, he accelerates so much faster and will not dance around as much and just hits the hole really hard. Yeldon was better last year, not sure what happened.

Tenpenny might be better than both but he hasn't played enough in meaningful minutes to really say that.

I would start Drake right now just because of Yeldon's fumbling problem alone. But Yeldon is very good and when he got benched last night he ran harder and better with a vengeance.

Why isn't Henry playing much though? He's played some already so has he lost his redshirt? I know he was hur but I hope his redshirt hasn't been wasted with 4 or 5 carries.

Pass pro, I'm guessing.

I think the VT game sealed his fate. Needed to work on pass blocking so he doesn't get our qb killed.
