re: What is the LSU freshmen rushing yardage record?

I get that, just trying to provide some context. LF definitely has the opportunity to crack 1000 yards. He could reach 1100 but I don't see that happening unless we somehow get a 14th game.

Doesn't matter. He could realistically finish the season averaging 100 ypg. He has a 97 yard average over the last 3 games. That 100 ypg will put him at 1057, add in receiving yards, and you could possibly hit 1300 yards from scrimmage.

I don't understand what people are talking about. Since they had different amount of games, just use carries. While Dalton did only play in 11 games, he had 193 carries. Add in his 183 rush yards and 36 carries for the bowl game, and you get 1084 yards on 229 carries. Faulk had 173 in 10 games, but the bowl game puts him at 198 and yardage at 1086 . Vincent was a beast as he did his 1000 in only 154 carries.

Unless Fournette goes off his last 4 games in receiving and rushing, he will just only equal what they did. I'd have to give the nod to Dalton though, when you add in bowl games. His stats from scrimmage as a freshman with the bowl game, would have rivaled Gurley's.
