This is probably the biggest concern at the moment.

Last year, there was a good chance of a 30- or 40-yard explosive play out of the backfield on any given drive from either of the 2 backs. The receivers were solid, as well, although none were likely to frighten an elite secondary.

It's not clear yet if we're going to get many of those types of plays this season. Faison does exciting things after the catch, James seems capable of making plays in the open field, but the cheat code off a basic hand-off probably isn't there this year. Hopefully Wisconsin is much improved over last year, and we just faced a solid defense. But I doubt we'd have beaten Miami or Ohio State on Sunday. We'll see.
