Three new additions I am the most excited about. I think the ceiling of this team is probably most closely connected to those three players.
So let’s play a game and compare them to ex-VOLS. For each player, give a % production prediction in relation to the ex-stats. (Ex. Milton will be 120% as productive as Dobbs was his senior year)
1. Milton v. senior Josh Dobbs - 225-357 2,846 yards 27 TD 12 INT, 150 rushes 831 yards, 12 TD.
2. Evans v. senior Travis Henry - 253 attempts 1,314 yards 11 TDs; 13 rec. 65 yards
3. Young v. sophomore Leonard Little - 11 sacks, 14 TFL, 62 tackles
Lastly, assuming (huge if, I know) the three current VOLS match their ex-VOLS totals, how many games do we win this year?
My predictions:
Milton - 90% as productive as Dobbs. More yards passing on more attempts, fewer rushing yards on fewer attempts.
Evans - 70% as productive. He’ll share more carries with Small/Wright than Henry did in 2000. He’ll get a lot more than the 65 receiving yards and 0 TDs cheese had though. I’ll go with around 1,000 all purpose yards and 7-8 TDs.
Young - this is the hardest one to predict. I’ll say 60% as productive. Somewhere around 5-6 sacks for Young but I think we will be very aggressive on D and teams pass the ball more now so I could see him having a huge year.
If Milton, Evans, and Young match the ex-VOLS’ stats, we win 9 regular season games. 10 with a bowl win.
