For the first time since he arrived four years ago, Urban Meyer is looking forward to seeing his running backs open the season.

Emphasis on the plural.

With a roster that finally includes quality depth, Meyer and his staff insists this will be the year the Gators will feature their running game.

"They are doing a good job,'' Meyer said. "The running backs are having a solid, solid camp. I can’t wait to play them. There were times before when we said, "Ooh, I guess we’ve got to play with one.'  And, well, no we didn’t. For two years now, we didn’t have to play with one. You can lead the SEC in offense without a guy playing running back, watch the film from last year.

"But this year, Kestahn Moore is having a tremendous camp, and (Chris) Rainey and Jeff Demps is a really good player,'' Meyer added. "(Emannuel) Moody is doing good and Mon Williams is doing good. We’ve got some guys going.''
