Don't know if that means Prior will still play some backup LB...and some U Back...or just strictly be the U Back.

With six TE's on scholarship, why not move one of those players to U-back and leave Prior at LB?

Is there an unluckier coach in football? My guess is Prior brings some raw speed that they can't afford to leave on the bench. It is odd though.

I also think the coaches like what they see out of Orr, Johnson, Herron, and others, so the depth at LB is solid.

We're using the U-back more as a blocker now because Mosley's injury. I don't think we've seen, here, what a U-back can do...if the intention is to run it the way schools like Tulsa do. If that's not the intention, just call the position what it is when you don't use it as a potential offensive weapon - fullback.

That was my thought too.

Raw speed and perhaps the hard nose mentality of smashing some people in the mouth whether he is blocking or running?

Think about it - Micah was a RB that played a lot like a LB ergo...
