That's correct. The biggest variable as I see it will be his kick return yardage. Montgomery's numbers were depressed by a defense that typically allowed only two or three kickoffs a game. That probably won't be the case for McCaffrey, but at a certain point people will simply stop kicking to him, which will cost him 50-100 yards per game.

Well, I don't know that teams will have much of a choice.  You can't kick it out of bounds, and college kickers typically aren't going to be blasting it out of the end zone.  So where will they kick it, if not to McCaffrey?  Just pooch it?
