Jeremy Hill wasn't near a decent pass blocker his freshman year, but still started the last seven games. Hill also had to run behind a true sophmore LT, redshirt freshman LG, and a true freshman RT.

Fournette is nearly the same size and weight, but runs a low 4.4 and has more power. Fournette already has great hands and an OC willing to use them. Fournette also has 4/5ths of a starting OL return. Fournette will have no problem replicating what Hill did his freshman year.

Hill had 740 yards and 12 TDs in 8 games, using that metric, I'd say Fournette has around 1200 yards in 13 games. I will not temper my expectations. Great backs produce.
