BYU has talent, but lack of depth a concern

Running backs.
That's probably the biggest question mark on the offense this year. Is there anyone with enough talent and experience to make BYU
Though the choices are a little thin, there are a couple of ways to look at it.
Obvious optimism
BYU has some great talent at running back. Tahi has experience, Brown is bigger and has game, Peaua gives us some 'UMMPH.' And the new, improved passing game opens it all up.
Doused with pessimism
Only Tahi has any experience, and he has yet to prove he's recovered from his mission. Brown has only 33 carries under his belt and most of them were against the worst running defense in the world. Finally the position lacks depth so bad, that almost all the other running backs are walk-ons or position transfers.
So where do I stand?
