Bellcow aint how Frank rolls but i could see a 40/20/20/20 split bw Kaleb, Williams, Holly and Durham
We all say that, but Frank ran Fournette 300 times in 2015. That year he had a top 5 RB freshman in Guice and a damn good 4 star sophomore in Williams who combined for 100 carries.

Now that may be how he changed now, but I still don't believe that. Diggs was getting the vast majority of carries before he started breaking down. If you take out the blowouts of Miss St and Army, and the Bama game that required Daniels to be super man, this is how Diggs carried the ball;

14 vs Arky
19 vs Ole Miss
24 vs Mizzu
18 vs Auburn

He also had 15 vs Grambling in his first start. That's 90 carries in 5 games, or 18 carries per game. Daniels was averaging about 11.5 carries per game. That means nearly 30 carries per game were allotted to those two during a 5 game stretch.

All in all, I could easily see Jackson with 16 per game, Williams or Durham with 10 per game, and the other two (one of Durham and William along with Holly), notching about 6 a piece per game.

What were the rumors?

Obviously his “Death Valley is where dreams die” post meant something.

one of two things

1. He misquoted the often used phrase. This is easily the right answer.

2. He got injured and was pissed about it.

I really wish he’d tighten up the rotation a little. I miss the days of a guy getting 20+ carries and imposing his will as the game went on.

Hester, Scott, Ridley, Ware, Hill, Fournette, Guice… it works in the spread too see Clyde and TDP.

He was hurt at the end of the season. From the Bama game on he hardly even dressed out.

Was that a cover story?

he had a reported shoulder injury in the Alabama game. He then missed the Florida game and the GA State game. He came back for the A&M game and only had 5 carries. The staff was really vague all along with what exactly his injury was.

Then he had one carry in the bowl game but came out after an apparent knee injury.

Like that guy but get it. He needs to be showcased somewhere. We’re deep at RB

He’s a different back without Daniels. Not a loss

He was our best back. It’s definitely a loss. Maybe Jackson would have passed him, but then he still would have been our second best back.

We got 2 top 10 rb’s coming in this year and next. We have 2 very good backs that were freshman. RB is loaded.

More like he already knows it’s being offered.

It’s not 2005 anymore, these guys are getting calls with exact amounts from dozens of different schools before they enter the portal.

Not a loss when considering the backs we have on the roster

I hate to see it because he was clearly our best back. I guess in the world of the transfer portal, you have to strike while it's hot!

Didn't see this one coming, but hopefully Jackson and Durham can take over and make his departure moot.
