False.

He'll finish with his career yards over 5,000 though.

well, when we make it to the nc game under the new playoff system you will play 15 games. its very possible but still unlikely. all you really have to do is avg. about 175 a game againsy out of conference teams and about 150 a game against lower conf. opponents. that would leave you needing roughly 110 a game in major sec play inclu. playoff and sec. championship game.

He is coming into the best situation ever. A NFL stocked OLine. A Wisconsin team who lost their front 7 and the best running back since AP.

He'll get 2,000+ yards rushing, will play on both sides of the ball and on special teams. (Where's a Buga Nation smiley I can use?)

Even if he averaged 20 yards a rush I doubt he'd get enough touches. Miles will not disrespect the Senoir leadership.

Next question:

Should we expect every one of Fournette's runs to be a touchdown, no matter where he gets the ball on the field.

I think so.

I mean, look at his measurables!

TD every time.

Or, he's a failure.

cmon let him come put the pads on first. u might as well ask if he'll do the same in the nfl too. I mean 6'2 235 with the 10.6 100 is the same thing in the nfl too right haha.

I see McFadden had 1,830 in 2007, but that's as close as it's gotten for the last 20 years

Amazing considering Jones and Hillis got carries too.

Btw LF doesn't look 6'2 in person but I do concede he's significantly bigger than Ridley was at this point en route to LSU greatness.

I see big things in Fournettes future and he will be a big factor on O, but lets not put large numbers like that up.

No doubt, I'd like to see the young man get a 900-1200 yd season with 6+ypc more than total yardage.

Anything over 1000-1200 and I'll be shocked, not because of his ability or anything, but the fact he is a true freshman learning a Cam Cameron playbook. He is physically ready to start, just needs to get the material down, although if anyone can do it, he can.

exactly what I was thinking. Couldn't see them going old school on a freshman like Stoops did AP his freshman year. I still think that season alone has been part of reason he's had so many injury problems.

Found it.

False. The days of 2000 yard running backs are over.
