Two 1,000yd running backs?

Yes it’s possible Travis Ettiene and Lynn j Dixon could both be 1,000yd backs. I mean I don’t think any team can afford to sale out and stop the run. Because of how good our Receivers are and Trevor Lawrence putting the ball right on the money. Bottom line I think we may have two thousand yd rusher. Gonna be a fun football season. Go Tigers

If we were in the Big 12, where defense is optional, it

would be entirely possible. But, in our reality, Dabo will always call off the dogs early, so it probably won't happen.

Yes. And Dabo loves to spread it around. Possible, but not likely.

That's pretty likely to happen unless either Ross or Higgins

gets hurt. Higgins was just 64 yards short last year.

Maybe, but I think we need 3 viable RBs

Feaster could have really made us a juggernaut on offense. Maybe 3 RBs getting 1000 yards. Many defenses would be unable to stop our powerful run AND pass game.

Obviously the talent is there but the passing game is probably too lethal for it to happen.
Ross and Higgins will both top 1,000 receiving yards.
The main factor could be how good the defense is. Will there be enough blowouts that allow Dixon to pile on the yards? Secondly: Will ETN make a legit Heisman run? If so, he might get extra carries later in the season (at the expense of Dixon) to increase his chances of winning.

Realistically Lyn J would probably need

150 carries to get 1000 yards. He could also average 8 YPC again like last year and get there on 125 carries, but that's an insane number to replicate and 6.7 is still very elite.
Will he get that many carries? Probably not. Feaster and Choice only combined for 155 last year. Granted we don't have a clear #3 back right now, but i still can't really see the staff giving Lyn J 125-150.
