I would be surprised if he got as many carries as he used to take per game... At least early on.
as many carries as he averaged it has to go down. It would be irresponsible for USCe to put that kind of load on a guy with a reconstructed knee.

Spurrier is not worried (from the Yahoo article linked at the bottom of the screen):
Lattimore has run strongly in fall camp, looking like the player who routinely broke tackles and cut to the right holes for big yards. He and Spurrier understand, though, that people will keep wondering about the knee until he handles those first few hits against the Commodores.
Spurrier has seen little evidence Lattimore, a projected first-round NFL draft pick, is hesitating or protecting the knee when he runs.
Spurrier recalled watching practice video this summer and seeing three defenders waiting to wrap up Lattimore.
''He just lowered the pads and powered right through them,'' Spurrier said.
