SEC head coaches Steve Spurrier and Kevin Sumlin shed a bit of light on their injured running backs situations saying that each expects their leading ground gainers, Marcus Lattimore and Christine Michael respectively, should be ready to go by the beginning of the season.

This is huge news not only for the Gamecocks, who have leaned on Lattimore since he arrived on campus, and the Aggies, who desperately need Michael to be healthy with their entrance to the SEC, but also for fantasy owners everywhere.  Lattimore should be one of the top backs off the board in every league while Michael should easily eclipse 1,000 yards if he can stay healthy.
