Kentayvus Hopkins - "Unfinished Business" from Dane Sears on Vimeo.
Averaging nearly 12 yards per carry and more than 243 yards per game, Hopkins has one of the best averages in both categories of any returning running back. He ran for more than 200 yards nine times, including a high of 408 yards against Western Hills.
Why he will lead the nation in rushing: His average gain per carry is impressive and a deeper run in the playoffs could mean a shot at 3,000 yards.
Why he won't lead the nation in rushing: Hopkins was held to less than 100 yards twice last year.
