What do we expect from him this season? He seems to be the workhorse for spring....

Turman appears to be a very solid running back, but I wouldn't expect him to get more than 10 carries a game unless we have more injuries. He'll probably be the #4 guy behind Chubb, Michel, and Marshall if all of them stay healthy. Great back, but stuck for now in a very talented backfield. 2017 will be his breakout year IMO.

Probably not much, he will transfer IMO after this year.

If we have RB attrition like last year (and he's not one of the casualties), he will get a lot of carries. If Chubb and Michel stays healthy I expect him to be our #3 back and he should still get a lot of touches.

Not counting on Marshall at all. Hope I'm wrong.

He'll get his shot in 2017

I expect 0 carries in conference games

Actually, not...He wont see much playing time with Chubb, Michel and Marshall going to be ready to go.

Another JJ Green scenario. Sorry to break it to you.

If that was the case he would have already transferred like JJ. He'll get his carries. I don't expect Chubb to get the 30 carries a game like most people are.

If Michel and Marshall are ready to go and contributing, he will get 0 carries per game. Richt doesn't really go 4 deep in a game, unless its a blow out.

Brendan Douglas who ended up being 2nd/3rd string a good portion of the year only got 5.5 carries a game.

If Michel and/or Marshall continue to injure themselves then Turman could see 5 carries a game as well. But nothing to write home about.

Douglas only got 5.5 carries per game because he wasn't that good, even when he was 2nd string. Turman is a much better back, but he probably won't get more than 5 carries a game either. I expect to work him a lot against teams like Vandy and Charleston Southern though because we want everyone else to stay healthy.

Agree. He looked horrible in that first comeback attempt. Maybe it was too soon...

Marshall was 10 months removed from his ACL. That's way too early to expect anything.

Of course they'll say. "He's 100% recovered. No limitations" But that's just not realistic

History shows that players don't amount to much until 2 seasons after the injury.

Marshall should be back to his old self this season

As someone mentioned in a different post here, KM has lost it (runs scared) and may never get it back. SM is an injury machine. So AJ may very well be a great addition come 2015.

Well I'd say it's a little early on that front. Getting a football injury while playing and being an "injury machine" are a bit different.
