FSU football: Top 10 bold predictions for 2019 season

Cam Akers will get 1,100 rushing yards or more

This was a tough prediction to make, because I’m trying to project how many carries Akers will receive and his production on those carries in an offense we haven’t seen yet at FSU.

I’m projecting Cam Akers to get around 185 carries on the season which equates to about 31 percent of the rushing attempts if they have near 600 rushing attempts on the season.

I expect an uptick in production as he got a ton of experience and has watched a lot of film in the off-season.

He seems aware of the mistakes he made as far as missing running lanes and/or setting up blocks.

I’m expecting Akers to improve his yards per carry average to about 6 ypc. If he obtains 185 rushes and hits that average that would put him at 1,110 yards on the year.

That’s doable with the amount of rushes expected coupled with improved offensive line play. Khalan Laborn could be a factor here, but I expect Akers to get the truckload of the work.
