What is our weakest position?...

From a talent and/or depth standpoint, where are the most question marks? At this time, that appears to be running back. We've got a lot of guys, but no one that's ever done much. Ford has potential, but has been injured a bunch. Then, we've got guys like Hatch, Clinkscale and Dixon. Among them, there's talent, but no one that's ever done much. The fact that a converted safety grabbed the lead in spring shows that we've got problems.

Comments? Disagreements? Anywhere else we need to be concerned?
 
I guess I kind of answered this one in your previous post, but I'll go a little more in depth here. If we stay healthy at OT, then I feel very good about our o-line, however, that is a big if. If we were to loss a starting OT, this would be our weakest position.

After the backup OT spot, I'm most concerned with the situation at Safety. Collins is solid in run support but I think he lacks range in coverage. Muyres is a sound, solid FS but there might be a little bit too much pressure on him. Butler has potential but depth is a major concern. I think at least one of the true frosh will have to contribute.

Personally, I like or running back situation right now. Hollings really improved over the spring and looked very good in the spring game. Dixon was clearly the best RB when he got hurt, although this was before Hollings came on. Hatch didn't show much of a limp this spring so I think he will be ready to go. Ford is productive in the shotgun and certain formations. I think we have a versatile bunch. There is enough talent here to get the job done.
 
I really don't see any weak positions, although I see some areas that could become problems with a rash of injuries.

Since we already have two OLs that are questionable for the year, a rash of injuries here could be troublesome.

A rash of injuries in the offensive backfield could be troublesome.

A rash of injuries at the DT position could be troublesome. Appears all the other spots are pretty well stocked.
