I mean the kid got 238 yards and 3 touchdowns in his first high school game.
That's not normal.

I agree though. We all need to temper our expectations until, at least, the second half of the Wisconsin game.

Maybe not, but I find it really hard to watch HS tape. You can tell the guys are good, but they are often far more physically developed for their age than any other player on the field. This is rarely the case once they get to college. Which is why I think a lot of line recruits struggle to make the jump from HS to college because they are no longer the biggest player on the field. It takes time to learn technique when you have been using sheer size your whole life.

I wouldn't be surprised if LF needs time to adjust to the speed of the college game. As others have said, I expect Magee to get the lion's share of the carries early on as the ease LF into the offense.
