Thank you very much. It was an interesting year in that we had so many guys making their way up in the record books. Presumably with a new QB next year and so many new skill guys, we won't have that (although if Ruggs keeps up his blistering pace he may very soon be on the TD list ).

The main thing to keep an eye on for next year will be how high D. Harris can climb on the career rushing list. He looks like he'll have a good shot to become the 8th guy in school history to reach 3,000 career yards (currently at 2,197).

More interestingly, he's at 6.7 yards per carry for his career right now on 326 carries (for some context, Derrick Henry had 395 carries in 2015 alone). The highest YPC average in school history for someone with at least 400 carries is 6.3 by Bobby Marlow. I think Harris will have a chance to get that record.
