Stepfan Taylor's line in 2009 (as a freshman):
56 carries for 306 yards (5.46 ypc), 2 TD, 25.5 yards per game
Gaffney's line in 2009 (as a freshman):
22 carries for 84 yards (3.82 ypc), 1 TD, 7.64 yards per game
in 2011 (as a junior backing up Taylor):
74 carries for 449 yards (6.07 ypc), 7 TD, 34.54 yards per game
Scarlett's line this year (as a RS Freshman):
86 carries for 385 yards (4.48 ypc), 6 TD's, 29.6 yards per game
Scarlett has been used more this year than Taylor or Gaffney were in 2009 as freshman (maybe because they shared carries). His yards per carry are a bit lower than Taylor, but higher than Gaffney his frosh year. I think there's a reasonable case to be made that Scarlett could wind up in the Taylor/Gaffney category, but there is a lot of uncertainty around that.
