WaynesAUworld 179 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Nice poll. I voted for sacks. With Carl Lawson back he should be able to kill this record. Even though I think JJ is going to do great, I think the run game will limit his passing yards. The number of catches should be 2nd with Duke.

Even though I think JJ is going to do great, I think the run game will limit his passing yards. The number of catches should be 2nd with Duke. I think the receptions record is most ripe for breaking, given that it is so surprisingly low at 60, followed by the sacks record. I agree with your assessment of the passing yards record. The same can be said of most of the rushing records (which I didn't include here because Tre Mason made those records almost unreachable in 2013).

ValleyTiger 2,894 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Most likely? Receptions, Duke had 45 last season in 10 games (9.5 if you remember his injury against aTm). If he continues his 3rd down or TD percentage highlighted by StatTiger, he could approach the single season receiving TD record as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucanucktiger 1,805 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Passing yards because so many passes this season will be to players other than WRs that it will rare for any D to adequately cover our potential receivers for even a drive. Gus is a run first guy but he'll also stay with what works until you stop it consistently and I'm loving all of the receiving skills out of our backfield right now.

That is a good point that I didn't think of before. Hmm I still think the sacks record would be the most likely due to all of the new QBs in the league.

McLoofus 35,182 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Can't decide which of the receiving records is "most likely", but I'd say both of them are "likely". Talking about other records just feels like bad mojo to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 ^Btw, didn't mean to slam the poll. It's fun to think about and I appreciate you digging up those records. I'll reference them often as the season goes on. Let's make sure we dig this thread back up in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VipersStrike1 230 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Craig said Johnson will break his passing yards record. I think it will be more difficult than Craig thinks, esp with Gus' emphasis on the run. As long as Duke doesn't miss much time........ Most likely: 1. Receptions 2. Receiving yards 3. Passing yardage 4. Sacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoundationEagle 637 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I think it is quite possible all 4 are broken. 3 of them are tied together with passing, receptions and receiving yards...and then there is Carl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of this...Boom made a good point in his SiriusXM interview the other day...QBs in Spread offenses typically get rid of the ball in 3 seconds. Dwight Freeney on one side and Lawrence Taylor on the other can't sack a QB in 3 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wde1968 262 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 All four will be shattered. I agree think all 4 can fall. Since I had to pick one I went passing yards. Because if that one goes down 2 others guaranteed to fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzlivn 0 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Even though Jeremy is getting a lot of hype for being a great passer, this is still a running offence. I went with Sacks . . . but it may not be Lawson. He is going to get double teamed leaving the door open for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, took Chris Todd to 2600+ passing yards. If Todd can get that Jeremy will get 3300 pretty easy I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdgeneration 6,471 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 One word... Carl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBAU83 212 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Like several, I went with Sacks. I think the other three are possible but I figured with our running game being a strength (and the need to have a strong running game to win consistently in the SEC), that will take away some of the passing yards. Once we have a good lead and run the ball to run out the clock, we will not need the pass (DC didn't have much of a run support when he set that record - not what I expect this coming year for JJ). The passes we have will be spread around to several quality receivers which will spread the receptions and yards. However, we need a good strong rush and with the change by CWM to use a combo of 3-4 and 4-3 fronts, we will put more in the backfield. Then as long as our opponents are so far behind and trying to play catch-up, they will be wanting to throw the ball, giving us more opportunities for sacks ( be them by Carl "Smoke" Lawson, Adams, Cowart or others) so that one of them gets at least 14.

Talking about other records just feels like bad mojo to me. Agreed. Rather than being overly confident about these records being broken, I was really just kind of surprised at how attainable many of them seemed with solid seasons from a few key performers.

CameronCrazy 1,105 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I honestly think all 4 of these records will be broken this year if Duke stays healthy and out of trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
