So, in answer to your question, how do we measure the impact... one way to measure the impact that we cannot ignore is if Etienne allows Meyer's offense to run the way he wants it to run.  I think you're not far off with your 150 carries and 40-60 catches.  I'm not sure he will carry the ball that much unless Robinson gets injured.  I'm thinking 100 carries and 40-60 catches.  That's about 15 touches a game, but still, the important point to me is, does his presence allow the offense to run the way UM wants it to run.  Kadarius Toney would have done the same thing.

Man I hope this isn't true. Clemsons offense was so bland. It just looked good because of Trevor.

I'm hoping that with Bevell and Schotty, they implement a lot more play action than in years past with some boot leg roll outs.
