Miami Football: 3 bold predictions vs. Toledo in Week 4

2. Mark Walton will run for 175 yards and three touchdowns

In the only game Miami has played this season junior running back Mark Walton went to town on overmatched Bethune-Cookman for the tune of 148 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries for a whopping 9.3 yards per carry average.

Nice way to start the season, averaging almost a first down on every touch. The only problem is he hasn’t played since the second of September, but the pro to not playing is he has fresh legs and the Rockets better beware.

Walton is also a threat in the passing game as he had 27 receptions last season and already has two catches this year. The Rockets’ weakness so far has been stopping the run and that is where Miami and Walton come into play. They give up an average of 220 yards per game and with a back like Walton the total is bound to be more by the end of Saturday.

The Rockets are stout in the secondary, but their rushing defense hasn’t been great so far and I’m going to pencil in Walton for 175 yards and three touchdowns on Saturday. Fresh legs will turn into a lot of yards so check this post on Saturday afternoon and watch what happens.
