Well, Pittman has a daughter, and needed money fast. I can't blame him for leaving.

But I think we may keep all our Juniors this time around. We seriously have a great shot for the National Championship next year.

Yep and I don't get that, because think he is a heck of a running back. I think it was the right decision for him, I am not sure how much he would be playing had he stayed.

He would've started and play a lot. I know we all are gaga over Beanie and justifiably so, but you do not sit someone that has 2 straight 1000+ yd rushing seasons.

I wish Pittman would have gotten more attention though. I bet if he had the same stats on a different team he could easily have been a top Heisman contender.

Yeah, but he wouldn't have gotten those stats on a different team. I love Antonio, but he benefited from a fantastic passing game, and a great offensive line.

But him not being here this year helps us in the long run. Beanie and Saine could use as many touches as they can get.

True true. I can't wait til Saine is getting hyped up like Beanie was last year. Mr. Ohio IMO has just as much potential as Beanie does.

I agree! Our backfield is pretty nice! And the point about Pittman benefitting from a good line, and good pass attack, is why I don't think he would have played all that muhc.
