Who's not competing for a title? Is there a post season ban next year that I missed?

No need to worry....we'll have a QB that can run....and not "JJ kinda running" either.

how many carries did he have this year?

quote:

68 carries 310 yards 4.6 avg 34 long 7 TD's


so he's going to come back to school for 5 carries a game or less?

why would he do that?

he should get about 110-125 carries next year. When Miles has no lead back he disperses the carries more evenly, usually between 2-3 guys.

He'll be a SR on an offense full of new faces. You dont think he and Miles talked about his role before he said he would come back?

We have possibly three RBs coming in 2015. We're solid with LF, McGee and Hilliard this fall

he'll be the lead back in 2015. Not next year.

yes, Magee is better than Hilliard, i agree.

But both will be SRs and get carries. I'm honestly shocked at amount of people that think Fournette will be the lead back over 2 talented SRs. On an offense that will have a brand new QB, new WRs, and maybe 1-2 new offensive lineman. not happening

Ehh, upchurch Could be a rb. Plus no decision from others.

If they all get injured we got Lamar Louis.

they are bringing him to be a TE… i could see them using Jacory more split out as a WR as a result of having Upchurch at TE, even though right now Jacory is a TE and Upchurch is a WR in high school….

HIll this year was a lead back

Hester in 07

He got 33% of the RB carries. That's not a lead back.
