I know we would all love for Fournette to gain 1000 more yards this game and they have the worst rushing defense in the league. Honestly though, I see a very steady mix of Guice, Williams, and Brossette throughout with Fournette sitting the fourth quarter.

What say you?

Should be under. Unless he can get it in the first half.

Way under. I say under 150 to be honest. At least I hope so as I want to spread the ball around and hopefully rest him for the bulk of SEC play.

Unless he breaks a few big runs early I'm going with the under. I don't see Buga being in for the second half at all

Judging by EMU rush defense film he'll have a few big runs a la Syracuse.

I think they will give Leonard as many yards as he wants

under - miles limits LF yards so he won't win Heisman and therefore return for jr. year.

unless he gets it on the first 3 possessions, which is possible, he probably won't, just because we don't need him that much.

you never know with Les, though. les might think we need him til late in the 3rd quarter.

I'd say if les ran him 22 times he would probably have 4 td's and 400 yards. I'd expect him to only carry the ball about 10 times in the first half though, probably for about a buck thirty and 2 tds.

I would bet the farm on the under.

He will have to get it in the first half which is possible but unlikely. I would go for the under but barely.

I agree with this.

I'm thinking 125-140 range for a half. Just enough to keep his stats, but not too much to add a lot more wear and tear on him. Maybe 12-14 carries, 1 or 2 td's.

I'll say under 250. But he's getting 200. He is the explosive player at of the backfield who can score on any play. He's equivalent to a Reggie Bush in the way that anytime he touches it, a touchdown can happen. Doesn't happen that often at RB.

He's only going to play the first half. But that's all he'll need. Their D Line isn't that undersized. But they're linebacking corp averages 210Lbs. With our offensive line that is blocking into the second level allowing LF I believe it was 5 yards before contact. He and several others will break big runs. May not be the house but many 20+ runs.

Just put it this way. You'll see a lot of Trey Quinn in the second half.



^ I actually love Quinn. Just had to make the joke.

ETA: I also believe in the last two games LF is averaging over 10 yards a carry. I believe 11. Average.
