to get close to Derrick Henry's numbers (well in excess of the ND record), but maybe he'd get credit for all purpose yards. So, that doesn't strike me as realistic particularly given the way they are working he and Price into games. And I don't see MF adjusting carries to put him in the top 3 mix. If it happens, it will happen organically.
I do think he can make it into the top 5 with the numbers you suggest plus all purpose yards, which is probably attainable with our remaining schedule.
I noticed the last two games he's doing less acrobatics and he's running with more purpose, so we'll see. His motivation may be more draft status than HT, particularly since I've seen him projected top 10 and as high in some cases as top 5.
To win a HT, I think he'd need to avg 200+ rushing yds per game rest of regular season

- Correct, it is a long shot. But currently Love is 6th in rushing in the Nation, 2nd in TDs. - FoolBear - 10:38am 10/24/25

- He should go for 1500+ but the problem is Freeman limiting carries! 9-1 w/14+ carries - Rocketman84 - 12:01am 10/24/25
- Limited carries is a feature not a bug. The Love/Price combo elevates their indiv. stats. [NT]

- It's good for durability, but Love averaging 11 carries doesn't enhance his stats - Rocketman84 - 8:40pm 10/24/25

- I can see two more games of 140+ , and if one of them is 180+ he can certainly do it [NT] - Rocketman84 - 1:58am 10/24/25
- Doubt it. Shares w Price and Carr can throw too, & after USC, we will see all 8 man fronts imo. [NT]
