So I decided to go back and look at his stats over the years to see if there was any correlation between him getting fat and his production. And boy was there. Whoever told him to gain weight is a moron
2012 he avg 6.8 yds a carry. He was held under 4yds a carry in ONLY 5 games of the 12 he played. He had 6 runs of over 40 yds. In 2013, you could tell the weight was hindering him cause he only avg 6.3 yds per carry. This was obviously going to go down once he faced the elite defenses of duke,Pitt,Virginia. He only had 3 runs over 40 yds. I know he missed games but see above about tough defenses he was going to face. He was held under 4 yds a carry in 1 of 8 games. 2014 he is avg 7.2 yds per carry. Career long run of 80 yds. 2 runs of over 40 yds. He has not been held under 4 yds a carry in any game.

So there you have it. Next time someone argues about him not being to heavy, just show them it's in the stats.

lol... I am pretty sure this is a joke but I will bite. Duke 40 time is better now than ever and the last time I checked he isnt hurt (or concussed) and I am pretty sure we have a different Oline but I like your narrow sighted eval. Did your evaluation include looking at the socks he wears because I think with this new uni his socks may be different and that would definitely be the difference maker. Thats what the stats say at least.
 
Duke is probably the only guy who benefited from this staff bulking him up. He can take the punishment better this year and that's really gunna serve him well in the NFL, he woulda been way to fragile without the added weight.

Terrible post. Duke missed half a season last year and were only half way through this season.

Duke avg per carry went down last season after the FSU game which he didn't not finish and was on pace for well over 100 yards.

Your not gonna average 6-7 yards a carry on a defense like FSU last year. Prior to the FSU game he was averaging about 6.8 a carry. And he ended up with 6.3 which is still phenomenal.


Duke so far is averaging 7.1 this year and hasn't even gotten enough touches IMO. Your post is bad. He's gotten stronger, lean, faster and can take on a huge workload now and is more durable.

Sorry op but your statement is bad and false.


If Duke has become worse. How come he was on pace to break the all purpose record last season? Projected for 2400+ all purpose yards and was also projected at about 1500-1600 rushing yards.

Sorry dude, your reaching at nothing.

Duke is breaking records at the U set by some of the greatest to ever play here. I have to say theres no fact to this argument.
 
I think he ran an 80 td yesterday. I could be wrong but fat and slow guys don't usually run 80 yard TD's.
 
10 rushes for 162 yds and breaking records for all purpose yards

I wish I was that fat and slow
