Some Lance Dunbar Love

[Mean Green 93-98]

Had a couple minutes to kill, and I was curious to see if anyone was giving Lance some love for the upcoming season.

I don't know anything about this guy, but he picked Lance as the #2 fantasy back: http://cffl.com/articleviewer.php?articleid=156

This Bleacher Report article picked Lance as one of the favorites to win the rushing title next year: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/721395-college-football-2011-odds-on-which-running-back-will-rush-for-the-most-yards#/articles/721395-college-football-2011-odds-on-which-running-back-will-rush-for-the-most-yards/page/7 Interestingly, he gave Bobby Rainey of Western KY better odds, second only to LaMichael James.

Sleeper Running Backs for the 2012 Draft: http://www.nfldraftbible.com/Latest/fcs-running-backs-2012-watch-list.html

Lance Dunbar (N. TX): Over the course of his college career, Dunbar has proven that he’s much more than a complementary speed back. In fact, since his early days in Denton, the 5’9” Dunbar has packed on nearly 20 pounds to reach his current weight of 203, which allows him to pound the rock between the tackles. His burst and ability to explode in and out of holes make him a big-play weapon. The senior can also be counted on to be a dependable receiver out of the backfield and serve as a competent blocker. Dunbar’s lack of size brings his durability into question against bigger defenders at the next level if he’s presented with a sizeable workload. But packing on even more weight will probably affect his acceleration and speed.

One thing I take issue with is Lance Dunbar can block. I especially saw this in the KState game. He's not Michael Hickmon but he can hold his own.
