David Wilson Should Have Redshirted

There was a recent article where David Wilson, sophomore running back at Virginia Tech, was interviewed about his current role on the team.  There was a big debate before the season started about whether he would redshirt or not, and now he is disappointed that he is not getting much playing time.  My response to this is, what did you expect?  You are a third string running back behind two proven, 1200 yard rushers in the ACC, and you think you should get more playing time?  Now David Wilson's time will certainly come; maybe next year or certainly the year after when Williams goes to the NFL, but now is not his time.  Wilson will be utilized on special teams and certain running situations this year, but will see alot of the bench overall.  He should sit patiently and learn from the two all-star running backs ahead of him, and when it is his time, he will blow everyone away.
