I expect him to gain 1,000 or 1,500 yards this season, whichever comes first.

Yes. He may gain that much against Syracuse.

most definitely

He is an impressive back. He’s faster on his cuts and runs bigger than he is. ETN is still the man, but it’s becoming very obvious why Feaster left. GO TIGERS!!!

Not sure if Feaster played UofSuc, or UofSuc played him. I think they just wanted his insider info and lied to him to get that.

Whether Lyn J gets 1,000 or not depends in part on Rencher, Dukes, and Mellusi.
If Clemson does what it is supposed to do for the remainder of the schedule, the touches that Lyn J gets will largely depend on how effective Rencher can be early in games and whether or not the freshmen redshirt.
If Rencher is taking some early touches when we know the other team is outmatched then it will eat into Lyn J's workload.
If either or both of the freshmen play more than 4 games it will give the coaches more options when we won't want to get our #2 back hurt when we are up big in the second half and especially the 4th quarter.
If the freshmen redshirt and Rencher stays the 4th quarter back, then I say Lyn J gets 1,000 or gets very close.

Not gonna happen unless ETN gets injured. He won't get enough carries.

I'm not sure that he doesn't get more carries than Etienne. Etienne might not see the field in the 4th quarter until December.

There were 217 carries split between Choice, Feaster, and Dixon last season.
If Dixon gets 150 of those, then there is a real shot he can get to 1,000 yards.
He would have to average 6.7 ypc to get to 1,000 yards with 150 carries.

I respectfully disagree. Reason: We need that #2 RB to be able to show he can step in if ETN gets hurt. I think the coaches are going to allow Dixon to have plenty of carries.

How much weight has Dixon put on from last year? He looks bigger and stronger on the field compared to last year.

Maybe. He needs to get 125-150 carries to give 1000

That would require him to average 6.7 - 8 yards per carry. That sounds like a tall task, even though he is very capable. 200 carries would be 5 ypc and reach 1000.

I said the same thing about Etienne after his FR year
Sep 13, 2019, 12:45 PM
|
|
and all he did was average MORE last year. Who on our schedule is really stopping either of those backs? I'll be very surprised if Dixon doesn't average over ypc. Hes an elite back.

I agree, it's a dynamic duo, that you hold your breath each time they get it, like they can take it to the house each touch

in Lyn-J's first 2 games this year: 19 carries 143 yards 2 TD's if Clemson plays 15 games & he keeps this pace that would be: 1073 yards & 15 TD's imagine if Clemson could have two 1,000 yard rushers & two 1,000 yard receivers (Higgins & Ross)
