Which RB becomes Oregon's go to guy?

Poll per cmmadness.

I picked Tyner since he's still going to get a lot of carries and Oregon has some opponents he can rack up yards. I also think Oregon's OL will get better as the season goes and start opening holes for the RBs to run through. I think Freeman may get close also because of the same things with Tyner.

Is it crazy for me to think that Freeman's going to get more touches in the red zone and in garbage time?

I say Byron Marshall. He's the veteran and the most versatile. I think he has one of the best years of anyone on the offensive side of the ball.

Byron, he's going to be a beast this year .

If he's going to get a 1000 yards, it won't be all from rushing; it'll be his combined rushing and receiving yards.

Why would that be crazy? He's bigger than the other two and (appears) to be a much more physical runner. More than Tyner at least.

I think Byron will get more use in the slot with Tyner and Freeman splitting the load at RB.

Ditto what others have said. If you include receiving yards it Marshall, hands down.

I put Tyner....Barring injury think as a running back he will be the first to get a thousand yards. I kind of laugh at some people tossing him aside after 1 bad game. Last year all the hype was about him and how phenomenal he was. He has one bad game where Michigan State is stacking the box and now people looking past him. It was one game.. I still think as a runner he is our best back overall. I like what they are doing with Marshall. I also think Freeman is going to be really good. If I have a concern with Tyner... it would be will he stay happy if Freeman keeps producing and pack it up. If I have a concern with Tyner that is it.

Freeman, easily, he's just much more mature as a RB than Tyner. He seems to have better vision, response, and power. Tyner is supposed to have this elite sprinting speed, but lack of vision and hesitation makes him less effective.

-This being said, I'm rooting for Tyner, he's been my favorite commit since he was a recruit and am just waiting for the big explosion plays for 80-90 yard TD's to come for him.

Marshall will stay in the TZR role. Too much of a match-up nightmare for defenses to have him in the slot, at least until Addison returns to action.

I don't know if it was the play calls, or the times Tyner got the ball, or just a poor game, but I thought Tyner had a terrible game Saturday, constantly getting stopped for little to no gain while Freeman.....well, we all know what he did. Maybe they were using Tyner to lure the Spartys into thinking we were going to run power plays up the middle, or maybe they preferred Tyner running between the tackles, but just from a fans perspective, Freeman was the best runner on the field that day.
