[Mean Green 93-98]

Junior James Hamilton and sophomore Jeremi Mathis both toted the ball 11 times last season, making them the most experienced backup options.

Not exactly accurate. Senior Micah Mosley has 118 career carries, 590 yards, and 6 TDs.

Good point. I hadn't thought of that. Although it's not impossible that we'll see him line up at TB sometime this year, or at FB if Canales uses the I at all (not sure if he does). But I imagine these writers might classify our U-backs (not sure what the difference is from an H-Back) with the RBs anyway.

As I understand it the U-back may be unique with us. I believe that it stands for utility back which is more of a combination fullback and running back. That is to say a blocker and runner (especially a power runner). The H-back is a hybrid tight end/fullback, or blocker and receiver.

Since there is not separate category for fullbacks or hybrid backs I would still categorize him as a running back. That would make Mosley our second most experienced running back.
