Could not of said it any better myself. I would bet the farm that Stevie starts vs. Toledo. He will be our #1 unless something happens throughout the season and Johnson proves he is a better pass blocker and runner. But with our recievers, we need a back who can provide the pass block that Stevie gives us. It was a key factor to why we lost to Nebraska, Baylor, and Mizz last year!
