Lmao he averaged about 3-4 yds a game if you do the math, love bringing coaching when he ran more and still didnt produce like other backs, how did i cherry pick games when i posted all the games lmao, and yes my point is made when i said he got a ton of carries and didnt do squat, you really failed trying to make it seem like what i posted didnt matter also like how ya added coaching into it when he got a good amount of carries against the good teams, and the what ifs you said in the FSU and UF games lmao, yoir argument is trash lmao
So we only played 14 games in 2 years? not to mention the 2012 stats where he was splitting time. That's called cherry picking. Take his entire season and he averages 6.8 ypc in 2012 and 2013 with 6.3 in 2013. Yes there are some crap teams in there.
You know when stats lie?
When retards don't know how to do math. Based on the games you chose and the stats you provided, that is 6.32 yards per carry vs the 3-4 yds a game you tried to provide as a fact (yes your original post said per game, but I understand it was probably a mistake. maybe...). That is 286 attempts for 1808 yards.
Or maybe you were trying to use only the games you identified as quality games? Even then I see 172 carries for 856 yards which equals 4.97 ypc which is exactly what I said.
Who cares what he ran per game when he was barely getting carries? You want to compare him to Melvin Gordon, then lets do just that. Total carries in 2014: Melvin Gordon 343 vs Duke 242. Keep in mind Melvin Gordon had a phenomenal year and blew everyone away in ypc and yards. Duke was 16th in the country in ypc. That's pretty solid and keep in mind that we were running a slow down offense with a true freshman qb. Did you even watch the Nebraska game? I'm sure Nebraska wasn't even considering the passing game. It was play a safety very deep for Dorsett and stack everyone else in the box.
Here's some more stats for you:
-Duke was number 9 in the country in total yards for the season. The 8 rbs ahead of him all had more carries except for Devon Johnson.
-Of the 8 guys ahead of him, only 4 had a better ypc
-Of the 8 guys ahead of him only 5 were in a power 5 conference.
-Duke Johnson was 27th in the country in total carries which **** all over your theory that Duke gets the ball so much.
One more thing. Lets not forget the potential Duke brings in the receiving game which Al severely underutilized in Duke's time here. Al failed like a miserable POS at utilizing his players correctly.
I'm done fact checking for you. You lost any potential credibility you thought you had with your trying to call someone out for 3-4 ypg (hoping you meant ypc). It's obvious you just hate Duke just to hate him and are willing to throw out random numbers. As far as adding coaching into it, I don't see why that's not relevant. If you're a running back going for a contract year and I'm a coach who wants to slow the game down which means possibly 100 less carries in the season, your numbers are going to suffer and you will not be happy. Go look at my above statement on number of carries in the season. You failed as I said before and now you're just grasping.
