I don't think we understand what type of season Gus Edwards can have for Miami. I am going to go out on a limb and say this. If Todd Gurley, who is in the SEC, can put together the type of season he had as a freshman, then there is absolutely no reason why Gus Edwards can't have that type of season in a considerably weaker ACC. Both have just about the same measurables along with the same speed and vision. I think this kid is going to have at least an 800-900 yard season with around 11 TD's running behind an excellent offensive line. As I watch his film, he looks like an SEC caliber RB which will bode well against not so great ACC defenses. I expect by seasons end, he will be up for ACC offensive rookie of the year honors.

not so fast my friend most SEC backs are from SEC country this kid is straight out of the Northeast. He could easily get redshirted this season with Duke, Hagens, OT, and Crawford seeing the majority of the touches Don't forget Danny Dillard who got stronger and the transfer from Iowa DeAndre Johnson the kid from Pace. I think he has potential but there is no way in **** he rushes for 800-900 yards with Duke on this team.
 
I love me some Gus but I can't imagine he gets enough carries to have that kind of year unless...god forbid..duke goes down for an extended period of time.

Still, agree on the premise that Gus is nice.
 
So he's going to have basically the same season rushing as Duke Johnson did? While I'd love to see that happen...

Let's not forget about Clements either.
 
Soo he went from being Lonnie Pryor type runner who can be multi dimensional from FB position to expectations of Todd Gurley who was an insane athlete at the high school level without playing a game. Got to love the offseason.


Bump it, I say Bo Jackson or bust

Well Gurley is from North Carolina which is not necessarily SEC country. But the fact remains, if you look at what Gurley did in the SEC last season as a FRESHMAN, you don't think Gus, with the same measurements and attributes can't have that same production in the ACC? Don't believe me just watch.

If Gus has that many carries that means we will have a horrible season because that would mean dUKE would have gotten injured. Theres no way we are going to have 2 1000 yard backs in the same season when we have one of the best qbs in the nation under center with a veteran wr core. We are not gonna be a ground and pound team with all the weapons we have on the outside. Duke rushing for 1000+ ? Very possible Gus Edwards? I would bet the house NO

To me it has nothing to do with SEC, but you dont base players off measurements. Thats like saying every rb that is 5'9 190 will be like Duke. Gurley was/is a freak athlete, at 6'1 230 he was an accomplished hurdler, even ran for team USA some. He has returned kickoffs back, he had something obscene like 2,600 yrds his senior year and 35+ TDs. I just hope the guy we recruited is able to shore up the depth chart and give Duke a breather. He will get his first shot at RB because like DT, we have bodies but besides Duke we have no difference makers.
