We wouldn't be relying on him to run for 200 yards a game to be successful like at Ohio State. We have people for that. He would take much less abuse here.

I think it could work, but only if you completely change the offense to resemble the spread attack that Ohio State runs. A read option attack with Miller and Fournette could be lethal, especially mixing in the other running backs we have.

Fournette should have no less than 20 carries a game next year. If miles gives him at least that much he will be a contender for the Heisman plain and simple.

Haha love the optimism, but come on.. Reggie/Leinart were absolutely devastating. That team or The U in 2001 were the two best teams to not win the title ever. I'd wager either of them would win the title 75% of college football seasons

I don't see him as an upgrade in this offense. I think people are getting a little to excited about the possibility of him here.

This entire program should be putting more focus on Harris. We are sitting on a gold mine if this staff could get out of the 50's offense.
