Duke had about 11 touches per game last year and ended up with 977 yards rushing. If you double his touches, then that would put him at roughly around 1954 yards rushing... i think he carries the ball 20 times per game.

My guess is Duke will touch the ball 20-24 times per game. Last year he touched the ball 16 times per game.
2500 Total Yards and 17 Total Touchdowns, this would be my conservative guess.
If Duke doesn't get 220+ carries this year, something went terribly wrong.

Just rushing? 18 Per Game?
It could happen, would just mean IMO that others cannot pick up some of the slack.

here is why this won't happen..
we have other ways of scoring. If our team was mainly run driven i get this, but I see Coley going after our receivers, I see our TE's getting thrown their way etc.
EVERY team we play will try to cover Duke as much as possible which should leave holes open for Morris to target

For 12 games, that's almost 19 a game. For 13, it's like 17.
