I meant to say that Speights' start was an interesting commentary on Scarlett, since the latter started against UCD. I am guessing that commentary is that they no longer see Scarlett as our second-best every-down back.
I had guessed as much, but was wondering if there was an interesting commentary written somewhere that I had missed.

Well, so far for 2018 they both have 31 carries. Scarlett for 2.5 yds/carry, Speights for 5.1.
The carries are small enough you have to use them with caution. Speights hits the hole harder and runs tougher, but is not much for patience and finding a hole. I kind of liked how Scarlett looked catching passes out of the backfield last year, but both he (2 catches) and Speights (3 catches) have barely done so this season.
