What are your expectations for Eason and Ahmed?

I have a hunch there will be disappointment in Ahmed until the 2020 season.

Eason: 30+ passing TD's. 3-5 rushing TD's. Less than 10 interceptions.

Ahmed: 5+ yards per carry

Herbert went for 29/8 last year and many people thought he struggled and was over rated. There is truth in that but after Browning's last 2 years of 19/5 and 16/10 I would do jumping jacks if Eason did that. I fully expect him to. Ahmed I think hits a 1,000 yds but am hesitant. I think McGrew and Pleasant break out.

For Eason, 25 or so TDs & 10 INTs. Probably a couple rushing TDS as well. Some used the term gunslinger and it made me think a little about the last really good QB UW had: Tui. He wasn’t a great passer but gambled some times on his option pitches. Some paid off and some made you cringe. That’s what we’ll get with Eason.

Ahmed, 1000ish yards & 8 TDs. He’ll get the bulk of his yards outside the tackles and I pray one of the other backs can pick up the slack between the tackles.

Pleasant will outgain Ahmed

Best case:
Eason gets around 30 tds and 10 ints
Ahmed figures out how to run between the tackles and goes for 1400 yards

Worst case:
Pete picks Haener to start
Ahmed tries to bounce every run outside

My guess:
Eason goes for about 25 tds and 12 ints, with a fair share of jaw dropping plays to win games and some boneheaded mistakes to lose them. Our passing game overall is vastly improved.
Ahmed runs for about 800 yards, Pleasant becomes this year's Lavon Coleman and runs for 500 yards, and Cam Davis becomes Ahmed circa 2017 with 350 yards and a couple big plays late in the year. Running game is slightly worse, and would be way worse if not for our good Oline.
