KJ was on pace for 2,130 yds & 29 TDs after Washington win. Shonn, in 2008, was 6th in the Heisman Vote & Doak Walker winner (1,850 yds & 20 TDs)

The TD record I think he gets. He's still got some work to do for that 700yds. MSU and NW kept him to just over a 100 yds and OSU to 86. We have three games left with Defenses as highly ranked as those three against the run. Its not going to be easy. Hopefully Sully keeps opening the offense both with the run and pass, and he smokes 2000.....
 
No posing necessary - he does it when it counts.

An unreal 7.5 ypc.

He would have had over 200 yards tonight if they would just let him run. Let this rare talent run more.

Green currently has 137 MORE carries than him.

To get to Greene's 307 carries, KJ would have to average 34 carries/game over the last 4 games (137 carries/4 games left).

Tonight, KJ only had 24 carries.

I am guessing KJ will end up with 100 more carries over the next 4 games that are left.

The math:

100 carries x 7.5 yds/carry = 750 more yds + 1,279 current yds = 2,029 projected yards for KJ for the 13 game season (vs 1,850 yards that Greene had).

It's too bad that KJ won't get to 2,000 by the end of the regular season.

That YPC is wack! Anthing over 5.5 is STRONG. 6.0 to 7.5 is crazy good for P4 football. Assuming bowl games count and KJ plays in ours he'd need 142yds/game to pass Greene. I would think he'll have the TD record in 5 days.....

Greene's numbers are for 13 games (12 reg season + the bowl game). In 2008, Iowa finished the regular season at 8-4; they then beat South Carolina in the Outback Bowl to finish 9-4.

I mentioned above that last night KJ only had 24 carries.

I am guessing, with 4 games left, that KJ will end up with 100 more carries.

The math:

100 carries x 7.5 yds/carry = 750 more yds + 1,279 current yds = 2,029 projected yards for KJ for the 13 game season (vs 1,850 yards that Greene had).


These numbers were after the Oct 12, 2024 win over Washington:

..............Shonn Greene........Kaleb Johnson
