He's really...REALLY good. Those expecting more from him than Hill this past season are asking too much. Now by the time he's Hill's age, no comparison.

I hope man.

Hill is the best running back we've had in a long, long time. It's hard to assume that much greatness.

I hope for a 1400 yard 16 TD season, and I've seen many a freshman SEC dominate their first year regardless of what's around them. So I do believe it's possible.

Jeremy Hill played and dominated in the toughest part of our schedule in his freshman year with a weak passing game. He had 745 yards and 12 TDs on 139 carries in 8 games and didn't get to play Towson, Washington, North Texas, or Auburn. He only played Idaho for a quarter and onky got two carries vs UF. That is why I'll say that he could have easily ran for 1300-1400 yards and 20 TDs his freshman year. He played 3 quarters total of the first 3 games last year and still had over 1400 yards rushing and 16 TDs. You're talking about a guy who could have had 3000 rush yards and 40 rush TDs his freshman and sophomore years combined.

I think Fournette will be better than that. I think he goes for at least 1300 this year and could be an 1800 yard back next year (15 games

) when the passing game and defense is at its peak.
