they aren't saying that specifically, but when people don't see the ignorance in putting a true freshman, regardless of who it is and how talented/hyped he is, on a top 100 players in the entire country list, it tends to imply that people just assume this kid won't be anything but the greatest of all time.

Yes putting him in the top 100 makes no sense before he steps on the field, but how does it tend to imply he is the GOAT? You guys are overreacting about this. I've seen anything from 700-1000 yards and I believe that is realistic and will happen.

Hill ran for nearly 750 and 12 TDs in 8 games as a true freshman behind 5 people. Tyner ran for around 750 and he was 3rd string. Isaiah Crowell ran for 850 yards, Gurley nearly 1400, Dyer nearly 1100, Collins over 1000, Lattimore nearly 1200, Yeldon over 1100. Connor from Pitt ran for 800 yards, Williams from BYU nearly 800 yards, White from Wisconsin ran for 1050 yards and he was third string.

We lost Brazil, Copeland, Blue and Hill, that by itself is 289 carries. Who is going to get those carries?

Let's say you give Magee twice as last year, 172 carries
Williams is a TF, so let's say 40 carries (neither Blue, Ware, Magee, Ridley, Murphy, or Ford who redshirted, etc got that many)
Hilliard gets a boost to 90 carries

At worst Fournette will get 135 carries unless Magee just goes completely beastmode.

Considering The QBs will be running, add 40 more carries to Jennings and Mett's numbers which would come out to be 93 carries.

In total, that would be 530 carries. IMO, we run no less than 560 times. A safe number would be 580 considering the stout OL and young passing game.

Magee 165-170 carries
Fournette 155-160 carries at 6.3 ypc is 976-1008
QBs 90-95 carries
Hilliard 85-90 carries
Williams 35-40 carries
FB/WR/taking a knee 30 carries

560-585 carries
