Opinions Week: Marshall vs. Lands-Davis will be a battle within a position

With the injuries to redshirt freshman C.J. Leggett and true freshman Quaide Weimerskirch in the spring, there is a strong possibility that Tech fans will see Mikell Lands-Davis and/or Marcus Marshall taking significant reps at the featured running back position this fall.

Georgia Tech is in a position where the top four players competing for playing time have never taken a snap at B-back in a college game. This may be exciting for the incoming freshmen... but scary for Tech fans. The intriguing part about the two incoming freshmen is that running back is their natural position instead of athletes who have been moved to B-back and ultimately taught how to be a running back.
