Iowa only going with two running backs?

According to BTN it looks like Canzeri gets the nod and one other according to Greg Davis? I for sure think you have to give Akrum Wadley 5ish carries even if you are going with primarily Canzeri/Daniels.
 
KF on Tuesday:

"I think we're all convinced right now he's (Canzeri) full speed, and that's a good thing. LeShun is certainly full speed again. We've got Derrick, and hopefully Akrum will be ready to go. We'll know that on Friday or Saturday. If he can't, he can't, and we've certainly been down that road a couple times this year. But if we have them all, that's great, and we'll play them all if they're healthy."

Wadley was dinged last week.

:( While I'm stoked that 33 is full speed and 29 is full speed, I'm sorry to hear that Wadley is not full speed...I was optimistic that his ankle tweak was very minor...bummer. Get healthy Akrum!

EDIT - I just noticed who the OP is...I feel somewhat relieved.
 
Iowa has 3 guys that have proven they can tote the rock and Mitchell has the potential. Throw a new guy out there each week. They all bring a little something different to the table.
 
I hope Wadley is healthy. He has game changing speed and should get 10-15 carries per game. He brings something to the offense that quite frankly neither of the other running backs do. Not saying they shouldn't get carries but Wadley needs to touch the ball multiple times every game.

I heard they only had 2 RBs practice well this week.

Wadley is definitely a game changer, but if he's not a 100% then there is no point risking further injury when the other two are 100%. Don't forget, it's not like Canzeri is only mediocre.
