I think Mike James is poised to surprise some people. Bigger, stronger, and faster is just what the doctor ordered and he gets over the hump. I expect all of the running backs to get plenty of carries this year.
 
He is going to see a lot of touches this year so I'm going with over...... Barely..... That's only 62.5 yards per game times 12..... If the kid stays healthy I can see him getting a little more than 750......

Going with over. We will feature the power running game this year. the oline is the best unit on the team. There will plenty of carries for MJ. I also see duke getting touches in the passing game which leaves mike with more carries.

under duude. james was so disappointing last season i dont think he is explosive at allllll. eduardo could hit 700 yards i think and duke will grab a few hundred. duke is gonna have a couple 60 yard tds in my opinion, the kids just so quick
 
Under.
Mike's got good short area burst, average top end speed. Clements will get more touches, and when Duke gets the hang of it, he'll be the guy. Mike may be best suited to be a chain mover, short yardage (avg 3.8ypc), screens, and occasional catches out of the backfield.

i went under. i think the carries will be split up so much that it will be hard for one back to get a ton of yards. plus i think fisch is going to use the TEs more and use Duke more with short passes that will almost be like running plays.

he played pretty much the whole year with turf toe.
 
Unfortunately have to go Under until he shows something on the field. I think we can get over 1,000 between OT and James with Duke hopefully adding a nice chunk also.

Our line flat out has to be much better or we aren't running for **** this year.

Since 2005 we have had 4 years where somebody did rush for over 750 and 3 years when they didn't. I will go with no.
 
Under. This will be Clements show and I think there's a chance Duke may end up with more carries as well.

James is better utilized as a Q-Hill type hybrid HB/FB. He's a good role player but unfortunately that's about the limits of his talent.
