Feature back from day 1?
Bring him along slowly, give the upperclassmen most of the early carries, keep him fresh for the second half of the season?
Get creative: two back sets, split him out wide on occasion?

How you gonna do it, TD OC's?

18-20 carries a game
3-4 catches a game

Goal of the coaching staff is lean heavily on the combination of power (hilliard), quickness (magee) and both (fournette) to wear down defenses. Much like with Hilliard in his freshman year, I think you will see Williams emerge late in the year and become the power back.

Barring any injury, I think you see a lot of LF7 next year. #BugaNation

It's too early for this but starter is his role.

Vs. Wisconsin he'll get somewhere around 15 touches.

I'm guessing his role is to be a running back.

It's fricking March. Who cares? Worry about that closer to August.

Relieve Magee hopefully. This will mean Terrence is as talented as I think he is, and we'll get 2 great years (soph. and junior) out of LF.

He won't start game 1, but he'll get carries.

He won't start game one but he will get the most carries that game. I'd say around 14-18 carries. With either Jennings or Harris starting, we will be running it alot, especially with our stud O-LINE. Come game 2 or 3, Fournette will be starting with Magee coming in to give him some rest.

We don't realize it but we are about to witness the best back that will come through LSU 3-4 years from now. Mark my words.

once he learns the blocking assignments, he'll be the starting tailback IMO

He is advertised as the TOP RB in all of high school football who was highly recruited by all the power teams in college.

I get the he has to earn his dues stuff, but if he is all that----he will quickly become a feature back.

Hope he doesn't fumble, or he will be on the bench. Bo Jackson type skills won't even matter

He's the 1-2 punch similar to White and Gordon, Williams and Collins, Gurley and Marshall, Lacy and Yeldon. He will also get a lot of passes out of the backfield because he can already catch well. Going off the top freshman back in the SEC every year from 2010 up plus 4/5ths of our road grater are back, he's going to have between 900-1500 yards from scrimmage.

I won't say a 100% sure that he actually is the first carry starter in any game, but he should definitely finish with more carries.
