Big Mike is going to be the feature back going into the season...so...with that said...

Over or Under 750 yards rushing on the season for the big fella...

With everything I've heard about Fisch and what he thinks about incorporating Duke into the offense, I don't see any way it could be over....with one exception.

MJ starts out gangbusters and we ride that horse all season long. But we're talking like more than 150 yds per in the first couple of games. Not sure he has that in him. I hope I'm wrong.

It might be under, I think we should be more concerned about his YPC, that's how his success will be measured.

I got over. I think he goes back to sophomore form and has that average around 5 a carry. I think he ends up between 900-1,000.
 
If he really is the feature back, I say slightly over. We know OT will get carries, and we know Duke will be in the mix somehow, but like duppy mentioned about the YPC is what get's him everytime.

If he were to get and sustain an ungodly 30 carries a game(won't happen) I say he's way over, but at the number of carries he will realistically get for his running style, waay over is out of the question, and slightly over even seems optimistic.
 
I do expect Mike to be big in this offense whether that means running the wildecat or getting a good amount of dumps and receptions.... one of the strongholds of his game

Over. We are going to be a run heavy O, and MJ is a pounder thats going to get a lot of carries. If he stays healthy def over.
 
I'm going over. I think he'll have a Damien Berry like Senior season. Solid but unspectacular.

170 carries - 4.7 ypc - 800 yds - 8 td's

Under because I see Duke gaining carries as the year progresses.

I predict MJ will be just a little below 750 because Duke will take away more of his carries as the season goes on.
