Imagine thinking that rushing yards per game means anything in how well a team can run the ball...... of course our ranking was lower because we didn’t run the ball like some other teams on the list did in terms of attempts which obviously means less rushing yards. A better indicator is the yards per carry a team had because like I said Some teams pass more than other which obviously would result in that team have less rushing yardsThe last three seasons we've ranked 101st, 118th, and 79th in rushing yards per game. The difference last season was Rosier's 480 yards rushing. Take those away and we're right back around 115th.
I will agree, though, that as the season wore on, he seemed to get a little worse at reading the end on that ZR Richt likes to call. I don't know if it was frustration, or if the defenses figured out a way to fool him into keeping the ball, but I'm sure our coaches know what it was and will have it corrected by September.
We averaged 4.7 ypc last year in 2017 and only averaged 4.0 in 2016.
-Our starting back averaged 5.9 ypc(really good for rb who didn’t have much experience on the college level).
-Walton averaged 7.6 ypc when he was playing
- deejay Dallas averaged 5.3 ypc
