I put pretty much the same question on the recruiting board because in my lifetime (47 years old), I've never been more fired up over a recruit.

I think that w/the following:

1. New QB
2. New receivers
3. Defensive line that isn't deep w/tested guys (ie, Miles would love to run the ball/hold on to it more)
4. O line being a team strength
5. The (hopeful) return of Jeremy Hill,

we'll see

1. An offense that runs 60/70 percent of the time.
2. A bruising rushing attack that's absolutely relentless.

I think Miles likes this kind of ball anyway, so what you'll see is a combo of Hill/Fournette carrying the ball 40 times a game. I think each will gain close to 1,000 yards, with the one that emerges as the more consistent "every down" back getting in the 1,200 range.

I'd suspect Fournette would catch 15-20 passes next year.

I think the offense will be an efficient, yard eating machine. Think back to 97. That's what offense will look like.

I know everyone loves high flying spread offenses and what not, but I get no greater satisfaction than when we hang 40+ on someone while also systematically making them physically fricking quit
