Jashaun Corbin will surpass 1,200 all-purpose yards

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

I’m projecting Corbin to get around 185 carries on the season, which would equate to around 850 rushing yards he if averages 4.6 yards per carry.

Those could be a conservative average per carry, but it’s hard to predict what the FSU offensive line will do this year.

However, Mike Norvell likes to use receivers in the short passing game, which could limit rushing attempts, combined with a running back by committee approach.

Nevertheless, if Corbin gets around 800 rushing yards, he’d only need 350 receiving yards to surpass the 1,200 yards all-purpose mark

Of course, Corbin could average well over 4.6 yards per carry, which means he’d need less receiving yards to reach the goal.
