This is the same squad that Moore made last season before shredding the entire Big Ten. Obviously Armour is not expected to match that (though it would be nice), but he could get some carries in a backfield that needs players to emerge. The top two options have battled injuries, so Armour, as a walk-on, might emerge as a great option. He clearly has the strength to do so, as well.
