No, No, No. No need to sound dramatic. We are fine at RB. Williams is reliable and a heck of a blocker. Jackson looked great in limited pt, and just needed time to pick up blocking. The kid is a beast. You could see the talent every time he entered the game. People in this thread are sleeping on how good Durham is. He could be the starter a few games in. He dominated top level high school defenses. And he came up big in the biggest games.
I am fine with picking up a portal guy because injuries happen, but we have plenty of talent. If any one of the three that left in the off-season were still here, I would guess we would not add another.

So for shits and giggles, I went back to 2015 to see how many RBs logged rushing attempts each year.
The least was 4 RBs (2015 and 2022) and the most was 7 RBs (last year). In each of the other 6 years, we had 5 RBs with rushing attempts.
To put it another way - the only years we had less than 5 RBs with rushing attempts were 2015 (when we had 3 NFL RBs on the roster) and 2022 (when Jayden Daniels had more rushing attempts than the next 2 RBs combined).
That doesn’t mean we can’t get by with 3-4 RBs. But it does mean we would likely need all of the scholarship RBs on the roster to contribute. And we would be in a very tough spot if anyone were to get injured.
