Damien Harris and 1000 yards

Probably not, but damn he is good carrying the ball. I love his conviction and decisiveness hitting the lane. He will have a good long career at the next level.

It doesn't seem like we're going to meet enough resistance for Damien to get there. I mean we just aren't going to give him carries in the second half of these blowouts. However, he could still get there. Think about this...

Right now, at his current pace of 59 yards per game, he is on pace for 850 yards if we play in 15 games. To get to 1,000 yards, he'll need to average 68.5 yards per game over the remaining 12 games. That, to me, seems pretty doable. I just have a feeling he's going to have a couple of 150+ yard games based on busting a couple long runs.

We'll see. I think Texas A&M next week will provide enough resistance for him to be touching the ball well into the third quarter (although I hope they don't ).

With our schedule, a lot more of these games are very likely blowouts so he won’t play a ton. He can do it but he has to break out a really long run almost every game.

Maybe.. but I'm sure the last person crying about it is Damien Harris.

Running Backs have a shorter career span than most positions, coming to Alabama and starting has not only locked him in to the first 2 rounds at least, but also saved him a lot of wear and tear than running backs of that caliber usually accumulate in college.

Assuming he's not a pro bust, whatever team lands him has a guy to build around for the future.

Keep in mind that we have a 15 game season if everything stays on pace. Plus we are looking at some limp r u defenses coming up a couple of 100 yard halves (not games ) and he will be on pace.
