I just don't get it. How many touches is Fournette really going to get? He's got two guys in front of him.

Taylor will be the starter, and if he's really the starter, he'll probably have close to 200 carries. Mike Gilislee had 244 carries as the starter in 2012.

Kelvin Taylor averaged almost 20 carries a game once he became the starter. 20x12 = 240.

So, I expect that Taylor will have 100 more carries than Fournette, and unless UF's offense sucks again horribly, he'll have the better season.


I don't think we're going to run the kind of offense where a running back gets 20 carries a game any more, it'll be more like the Meyer offenses with balanced carries between multiple backs and the QB.
