While I am much more concerned about receiving than rushing, I do not think all the questions have been answered about our rushing game.  Taylor's greatest asset was his patience in waiting for and finding the right holes to run through.  That patience came from four years of experience.  While some of our other backs last year had good moments, none of them really showed that degree of patience.  The question for me is, how much experience will it take for one of our current backs to learn how to make effective use of our blocking?  And will a "revolving door" of back by committee interfere with the ability to get one of them into a Taylor-type rhythm?  These are not insurmountable issues, but they will need to be addressed.
