A position that was going to be one of the more speculated battles coming into the preseason just got a whole lot more interesting on Thursday night. John Crockett and Rajion Neal were speculated as the front runners for the position coming into training camp but after thought, Alonzo Harris, stole the show on Thursday night. Harris led the team in rushing taking the ball seven times for 41 yards which included a 25 yard touchdown run in the third quarter.
