2. Isaiah Spiller averages 150 rushing yards per game

In four games this season, Isaiah Spiller has 345 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 6.6 yards per touch. Those are some impressive numbers, but he is more than capable of putting up even better marks.

Spiller has broken the 95-yard mark three times this season and his worst game came against Colorado when he had just 20 yards on eight carries. He’s going to smash those numbers from the opening month, averaging 150 yards per game and nearly 7.0 yards per carry. Jimbo Fisher and the Aggies are going to emphasize the run more with Haynes King out and it’ll pay off.

We know that Spiller is extremely efficient and he’s one of the best running backs in college football and he has three favorable matchups in the month of October. He’s going to need to touch the ball more than 20 times per game to reach this 150 yards per game mark, but I think the Aggies will need him to do just that.

We’re going to see Spiller approach, or even break, the 1,000-yard mark on the season after the four October matchups.
