SEC RBs that could run for 1000 yds this year

[81Orange]

I hope JK has a good year but even more I hope he stays healthy. For this reason I feel the coaches will pull him anytime we have a game in hand. Someone else will get the easy yards against the bad teams.

If JK has a great year it will mean the online is very good and we will have a great season. With a thin DL we need ball possession. Will the stars Allign?

Did anyone else notice that Aschoff also predicts we won't have a defensive player with 100 tackles, won't have a WR with 1000 yards, won't have a 3000 yard passer, and won't have a top 5 DB?

What's the school records for rushing yards?

I got a feeling Kelly can break it. He's talented enough to do it and he'll have the chance being the only RB with experience on the roster.

Do you have any level other than 11?

Starters are pulled early in blowouts which is what normally happens against the 1 FCS and 2 G5 schools we play every year. Also teams want to split carries among 2-3 backs for the entire season

1,000 yards in a 13 game season is only 77 yards per game. He's averaged 5.8 yards per carry thus far at Tennessee behind 2 average to below average OLs. Using those numbers, he'd only need 13 carries per game to get there. So, it'd be pretty easy for him to get those touches despite getting pulled early in blowout wins or having to share time with another back.

He got 630 yds but most impressive was his team leading 6.4 yds per carry

Yes, and just watching the way he ran, without hesitation, and scrapping to the very end.

He does. He also has -11.

He hit -11 once last fall. Cursed Dobbs, cursed the team, said they were all--players and coaches alike--complete failures and he couldn't wait until Florida or Bama or some other rival kicked their asses.

Then went off and sulked for a month.

When he returned, he was right back at 11.

No Snell?

Hmm.

But he's much smarter than the rest of us because he "went" to Duke.

If the QB is who I expect a lot more opportunities for the RB's as Dobbs want be taking the carries. Hopefully the average will be high as we'll need 6000 yards of offense this season which would be better than the 5700 last season. I think we'll see more than 3100 passing yards hopefully the running game can come close to matching the 2700 yards on the ground of last season.
We need the defense to be far better than the 6200 yards they gave up last season. Does not matter what he offense does if they can't get some key stops.
