I thought Greg Bryant would turn out to be our stud this year and going forward (and he may be in the future) and I thought he would be better than Folston. However Folston is studly.

Folston needs to be the feature back after today's performance. Made plays at the line of scrimmage, protected the football, blocked well the few times he had the Opportunity too.he just has that 'it' factor that I feel the other backs don't possess. He's bound to make a mistake at one time or another, being a freshman. But let the kid play and learn!!!!!

Dibs on image of Folston jumping over 2 players during the game today for my new avatar. Anyone who finds the pic for me gets reps + 10,000,000 v bucks

He looks quick in the hole and decisive when he makes a cut. 50/50 him and Cam IMHO

He is good, don't get me wrong buts one make it sound likes he is the hands down #1, I'm just saying its Navy and our oline should be opening holes.

I'm impressed with his running but for an everydown RB, I still want to see blitz pickup and execution, receiving, and automatic adjustment on audibles.

I know it was navy but I have seen enough. Folston and McDaniel are our best running backs. If I only see them in the backfield the rest of the year, I will have no complaints regarding our running backs.

He did great today and should be getting more reps, but it was navy. Kelly was asked if he had found his back and he wasn't about to take the bait. He knew what TF did was against Navy.

I feel like "It was against Navy" relates more to a player like GAIII than Tarean. GAIII can just outrun players on crappy teams. What we saw from Tarean today, outstanding vision and cutting ability, relates pretty much to every team.

Just looked great today. Gonna stick with my hope that Cam and Folston continue to share the bulk of the carries for the rest of the year. Our running game will do fine if thats the case.

I disagree a little. BK didn't take the bait not because it was Navy but because naming him the starter post-game without meeting with Alford and GAIII would have been in poor taste. Just was not the proper time nor venue to make such a call.
