Quickly went through and grabbed some stats from some of the bigger games and RBs on each team's schedule (8 a piece). First number is the average ypc for the game against Alabama/Ohio State. The second number is their average ypc for the season. Best way to view this is to quickly look down the left column and get a rough average of what the team's defense gives up on avg. Then compare each number side by side to see how often that RB gets close to his seasonal avg. A * denotes if he is above his seasonal avg. This doesn't necessarily mean anything for this game, but if you found the post interesting then "like" the post below. Thx.

Just to comment on this - Indiana RBs were held under the average until a late garbage time run. Not making an excuse, but that game is a little skewed. Coleman ran for 228 yards on 27 carries, but 2 of those runs accounted for 142 of the yards. Take those two away and he had 3.1 ypc

You don't want to go down that road. Its not an intelligent way of dismissing stats because all stats have them. The runs happened so they are included, and are very significant to what the defense gave up. There was a back that had a very high ypc but he only had a few carries against you guys. Those are the type that can be more intelligently viewed as outliers, which is why I didn't include his #'s.
