I'm of the mindset that you put your best players on the field. Best being best right now, not best 2 years ago. Right now Gurley, Chubb, and Michel are all running better than Marshall. Michel's out, but Marshall is still behind Gurley and Chubb. I think we redshirt Marshall if we can (not sure if that's possible). If we can't redshirt him, then bring him in for mopup duties, which should come some time 3rd quarter vs UF.

While I realize his touches have been limited and he's been nursing an injury, Marshall averages 2 yards per carry this season. We have 4 other RBs who are all averaging 5+ YPC. The few times I've seen Marshall run this year, there seems to have been no real drive. He's been running flat. It's got to be because of his competition. If that's the case, he's choosing to give up instead of step up.

His abilities are definitely an asset ANY team would covet.

Agreed, be we are STACKED at RB. KM is good enough to start at any school and be RB1 at most, and here I am saying that I'm okay with him at #3 or 4.

He still has last years injury in his head, so when he did get play some this year he was playing not to get hurt
