Just wanted to hear some honest opinions of what Mike Davis might do the next three games. I have seen shiffty moves and a burst of speed which is refreshing. I know he struggles a bit on pass protection, but does he break some big runs or pound the ball like latti has done. Also want to know what you guys think about his presence in the Arky and Clemson game.

Potential of Davis

His nickname should be "Taz" for the Tasmanian Devil. When people see him play for a full game, I predict that that will be his gameplaying moniker.
Why?
He churns his feet like no player I've seen since Walter Payton -- who turned out okay, as I remember. He's a buzzsaw to bring down, so he can wear down an opposing line over time.
Mike's got the power to bust through a narrow hole and has escape velocity which is something Marcus lacks but makes up for in other ways.
I know we will run him up the middle, but I also think he will surprise us at how well he can do on the perimeter.
I think that if he starts for the Gamecocks next year he will be in the top 3 in the SEC for yards from scrimmage. He may not start, though, because Wilds is one hell of a back who more closely emulates Marcus' size and running style.
Won't mind seeing what Carson, Salley, Blue, etc. can also bring to the table next year.
