Nick Marshall had nearly 1100 yards on 6 YPC and 12 TDs


He didn't say RBs but rushers as you pointed out

tRant needs to get their story straight. Is our QB a DB or a RB?

Henry might break 1,000 yards, depending on Drake's snaps. I'd expect him to have 7-10 TDs.

Would love to see Gurley have an explosive season coming back from his injury. As far as Yeldon, I just want him to run with more conviction this year and stop fumbling the ball in the most crucial fricking situations during the most important games of the year.

You do realize that Gurley rushed for 989 yards last year while missing 5 games and only rushing more that 20 twice.....
He only had 160 carries last year.

His injury was a fluke. It's not that he is injury prone or it's not like he tore something.

Gurley won't get injured this year and with Mason at QB, we won't throw for 3500 yards. I think the OP had it right.....1700 for Gurley

We've got two backs (Collins and JWill) that will split 80% or more of the carries. Korliss Marshall will probably get the bulk of the rest.

Collins should break 1000 and JWill will be close. But no one back will get a huge majority of the carries. The three combined though could be approaching 2500 yds. by seasons end though.

Third strike.

Also, his 16.5 carries/game was good for 6th in the conference.

He missed the entirety of the UT, Miz, and vandy games. He missed half of the clemson, florida, and app st games. So no he didn't miss 5 full games, but he was out more than 3.

Technically. I mean if someone got the first carry of the game for all 12 games and didn't see the field again the rest of the game, every game, yeah they played in every game but c'mon.

When you consider that TG missed 3 halves of football, in addition to the full games missed, he missed over 4 games worth of football.
