If he stays healthy, Andre Ellington could become Clemson's all time leading rusher. It would take one heck of a season though!!
Raymond Priester 3966 career yards
Andre Ellington 2355 career yards
1612 yards needed to break the record! Go Andre, and Go Tigers!!

If he stays healthy and the Pistol works like I hope it does he could possibly have a killer year....I think DJ will get some carries but I dont think he'll be sharing much.

It is very doable though, esp. if we make it to the ACCCG

If we play 14 games again he'd "only" need 116 ypg.

per game! Gotta run the football! Establish the run, set up the pass. Run out the clock, while kicking their ###! That's pretty catchy!

Imagine where he would be if had been healthy so far. the only reason people dont rave about this kid is because he followed Spiller CU people would rave about this kid. He is very good

There's really not bunch difference in Ellington and Spiller rushing the ball. I'd even argue that Ellington is better ball carrier.
CJ YPC - 5.85
AE YPC - 5.76
Of course CJ brought a lot more to the table, but I think Andre is just as good if not better than CJ carrying the ball and hitting the hole.

Andre's a better pure RB, CJ is a better athlete

That's what I said to some folks early in AE's career.

The laughed at me, but I think he could read the field a tad better, whereas CJ took almost the first thing he saw and relied on his speed.

It won't happen.

Simply because they'll be some games where we'll sit him early because we're blowing teams out. In order to reach it, he needs to get a lot of carries unless he breaks off a 50+ yarder every time.
