    Lamont left midway through the game last week and was replaced by Fargas, who rushed for 170+ yards. This week, Dominic Rhodes comes back to the team from a 4-game suspension. He did, however, go through the entire training camp with the team, and is familiar with the playbook. In a couple more weeks, rookie Michael Bush from Louisville, is getting off the injury list and onto the 53-man roster. Lamont's tests on his back came out negative, but if it did manage to keep him out for any length of time, I think that we are still in good shape.</p>

    It was nice to see Fargas perform so well. Gotta give tons of credit to the offensive line as well.</p>

    Yeah, but do you know who is going to get the bulk of the carries? Rhodes, Fargas or Bush?</p>

    I think its safe to assume that if Jordan goes out with injury again, it will get shared between Fargas and Rhodes - in that order. Michael Bush is a rookie just coming back from a long injury so he is going to be the last guy they go to this season. Do I know who will get the bulk of the carries? I don't even know who Kiffin will start at QB in two weeks. I know who I think that he *should* start. Based on that pattern, I would say Fargas gets more than Rhodes.</p>
