The stable of pint-sized speedsters recruited by Rich Rodriguez are starting to dwindle which leaves new offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen in a bit of a pinch.  While Holgorsen is the type of guy who fits his offense to his personnel, he would prefer to have smaller, shiftier backs.  Currently, Ryan Clarke, Shawne Alston, and Matt Lindamood are all over 220 pounds.  Holgorsen says that Daquan Hargrett or Trey Johnson could see the field as well as incoming freshmen Andrew Buie and Dustin Garrison.

Right now the West Virginia tailback situation is a crap shoot.  Hargrett is an interesting prospect as he is a thickly built scatback in the mold of Kendall Hunter.
