LF7 averaged about 7-10 touches/game less the first three games of the year than he did the last 10. Based on his average YPC that would have put him up around 1,200 yards rushing with Magee in front of him along with Hilliard as well. He's got Williams to spell him and the two young pups behind him to rotate in as well.
But he has the ability to increase his touches in the run game and-if he simply maintains his previous year's level of productivity-inch towards 1350-1400.
He will need to be special to hit 1,500 this year. I think he can but this is his year. Next year he will be on a bit of a pitch count. There will be an absolute STAGGERING amount of returning experienced talent in the LSU Backfield in 2016 provided all stay healthy. Fournette, Guice and Brosette are all former 5-Stars and Williams has proven he was grossly undervalued as a high 3-Star. With Ducre being a high 4-Star at FB/TB...there will be blood.
