It’s safe to say that 2017 was not the season Clinton Lynch was looking for to follow up his sophomore campaign that saw him average 17.1 yards per play from scrimmage. The rising senior a-back saw his 905 total yards from 2016 dip all the way down 252 total yards and a modest 8.1 yards per play. He also didn’t score a single touchdown all season after scoring a combined 16 through his first two seasons.
The dip in numbers for Lynch and the a-back group was most likely due to TaQuon Marshall’s abilities and inabilities as the Jackets starting quarterback.
