For his next trick, Powell must figure out how to find enough carries for all five running backs, including Conner, Ollison, sophomore Darrin Hall, freshman Chawntez Moss and junior Rashid Ibrahim.
Last year, Whitehead started every game on defense but also rushed 12 times for 122 yards and two touchdowns.
“We had some depth issues after James got hurt,” Powell said by way of explanation. “Hall was young. Chris James (who transferred) wasn't really hitting on all cylinders.
“We needed a spark. I'm not so sure we need that spark this year.”
