For me it's only a let down if he averages under 6 YPC


you are out of your mind to expect that from a TF. Especially on a team that defenses will be stacking 8 in the box on.

Gurley, Marshall, and Yeldon all did it as TF runners in 2012. Now I did forget that defenses will stack the box against LSU, so that was more bad. But I still think 6 is a fair spot for him in today's CFB. And I'd count 5.95 as 6 YPC anyway, rounding up. He's got a lot of talent and a dominate run blocking line in front of him.

Maybe 5.5 is a more realistic expectation, but the kid has all the talent in the world, and I think higher YPCs are becoming more frequent for young guys.
