GRAMBLING, Louisiana -- The Grambling football team caught its breath Tuesday with an off day, but the plunge into two-a-day practices as the heat soars begins Wednesday.The Tigers strapped on pads for the first time Monday, and the most competitive position battles continue to be waged.
Running back, while not necessarily being the most important battle this fall, is the most visible.
Rising sophomores Cedric Skinner (365 rushing yards) and Jeremy Runner (318 yards) led the ground game in 2012, but junior and veteran Juwan Martin (183 yards) appears he will play a larger role this season after posting the highest yards-per-carry average of 4.2 in 2012.
“Juwan Martin did a tremendous job this spring, but you still have Skinner, Runner and (Justin Fortson),” said Grambling coach Doug Williams. “The little guy (Fortson) had a great spring, too.”
