Washington - 56 Runs 343 Yards
Rutgers - 38 Runs 112 Yards
Wisconsin - 44 Runs 112 Yards
Nebraska - 42 Runs 204 Yards
Northwestern - 54 Runs 294 Yards

Total - 234 Runs 1065 Yards 4.5 Yards Per Carry

Their 2 best performances came against 2 completely terrible run defenses, Washington #108 and Northwestern #122

But yea they are cranking out over 40 runs per game at <5 YPC

Took a look at the Oregon game stats.

Rushed 31 times for 128 yards.
Passed 35 of 54 for 484 yards

4.1 yard average on ground.
13.8 per catch.

The best part of all this vast overreaction to plain old mediocrity by the DFBIA is that it will ensure Jimmy stays in place for a few more years no matter how badly they get humped into submission from here on out.

They'll find ways to rationalize the losses.

Theyve already started the talking point of "expectations have already been met or succeeded" this year. Since a lot of them were guessing 6 or under wins.

Harbaugh can go 9-4. Losing to Sparty, Peds, Ohio State and bowl game and still enough DFBIA will consider it a victory.

It feels like this Michigan rushing attack is unprecedented. 2 running backs on pace for over 1000 yards and nearly 20 touchdowns each. Has that ever happened in the history of college football? Not including those teams from WW2 era and before, back when teams ran the ball 90 percent of the time.

Even if it were true, the game has changed a lot in 19 years. Some things that worked back then wouldn't fly nowadays. I can't imagine a team winning a NC with a starting QB who threw only 12 TDs and 7 picks in a season. That's just impossible to do today

Tressel made a huge mistake by playing Krenzel over Justin Zwick. Zwick would have allowed them to call the touchdown play more. He turtled his way to a NC and beat one of the most talented teams in the CFB history in the NC.

Even if their style of play is (tangentially) similar, this is a totally different era in CFB. It's not even remotely the same game. In 2002, the "spread offense" was still exotic. Fullbacks and the I-Formation were still a thing. Most teams didn't have playmakers all over the field on offense and defense. For as great as that 2002 team was, does anybody think they'd run the table and win a NC in 2021? *Spoiler* They wouldn't. scUM's Kroger brand of 2002 tOSU football is going to get a rude awakening over the next several weeks.

:lol:

They are 14th in the country in yards per carry. They run the ball 66% of the time which is good for 7th nationally (service academies are 1,2 and 3).

Wonder what happens when they play a team they can't just line up and bludgeon to death by running it damn near 50 times a game?

Bonus question; how well does a 47 carry a game based offense work if they are playing from behind?

The 1973 Oklahoma Sooners had two RBs with over 1000 yards (Joe Washington, 1173; Waymon Clark 1014), and QB Steve Davis added 887 yards ... in an 11 game season. So yeah, not really unprecedented. But definitely a throwback to the good old days of the Wishbone offense.
