How Many Touches Does Harvin Need?

How many touches per game do you think Percy Harvin needs for the Gators to be successful? In the Vandy game last week he had 20 touches… 9 catches and 11 rushes. He touched the ball more then anyone except Tebow, and with good reason. Harvin is the biggest playmaker the Gators have. If you want to win, you have to get the ball in your best playmakers hand. But how many touches is enough? 10? 15?

I think somewhere around 15-20 touches is ideal.  And an average balance between rushing and receiving. Harvin is a threat to take it to the house anytime he touches the ball, so Meyer needs to find a way to get it to him. “The biggest thing I see about our offense is when Percy Harvin is in that backfield, it opens up the inside run, the outside run, the play-action game,” Meyer recently said. “Because the threat is real.”

But there’s also a concern that 15-20 touches a day is too many. He could get worn down and overworked. I’d like to know what other fans think. How many touches per game should he get?

Percy Harvin is so fast, he’s running ahead of Tebow in the Heisman race

Tim Tebow wears Percy Harvin pajamas.

Percy Harvin ordered a Coolatta at Starbucks, and got one.

LOL, those are all funny. I’ll add them to the fun facts page.
