Everyone knows the Irish will bank on a two quarterback system when they open their season Sunday night against Texas.

Head Coach Brian Kelly has always been know as a coach who likes to throw the ball around the field. But leading up to their season opener, he's been singing a different tune.

"No matter what happens, we're running the football," said Kelly.

The statement itself should be more than enough for the running backs to feed off of.

And maybe a little more to feed off of for Tarean Folston.

"It's like a plate full of lobsters, shrimp, steak, french fries--anything you love to eat. It's like a full plate of that," said Folston. "It's like, let's go eat. It's definitely exciting, definitely gets your juices going. Just gets you ready to play some ball."

Folston will be making his return to the football field Sunday night for the first time since tearing his ACL in the season opener last year, also against Texas.

He'll be splitting time with sophomore Josh Adams in the backfield, who helped take over during Folston's absence along with C.J. Prosise.

And when Kelly says they'll be running the ball no matter what, even the big guys up front are ready to lead the way for their rushers.

"The game is won and lost at the line of scrimmage and we take a great deal of pride in that," said Irish Offensive Lineman and Captain Mike McGlinchey. "If Coach has that kind of trust to keep leaning on us, we'll keep delivering for him."

Kickoff against Texas is slated for 7:30 p.m. in Austin, Tex.
