The only good team he had good numbers against was duke with 25 att for 155 and a TD
Man he even had some pedestrian numbers against some crap teams
**** you failed so hard at making your argument here. In one post you talk about how many carries Duke was getting and then follow it up showing me stats where he carried the ball less than 20 times in all of those games except 5. So about 1/3 of the time he got less than 20 carries based on the games you picked.
Furthermore you cherrypicked games that you wanted to make your point.
Lastly, those are not bad stats, and you conveniently leave out his total yards.
I think you forget we run and slow down offense under Al which means less opportunities. He's averaging around 5 yards a game for almost all of those games except the 2013 UF and FSU games. Yet you forget he in the 2013 FSU game he got robbed of a huge breakaway run he had in which they called the play dead way too early. You also forget how nasty that UF defense was before they had all those injuries.
Stats don't lie until they do. You need to keep in mind the other circumstances around these games such as TOP, what plays were called in what situations, who we were playing, what is our gameplan. Our gameplan under Al has pretty much been putrid, conservative, and predictable. Fisch is literally the only coach that has been bearable here since Al Golden took the job and even then people had some issues with him.
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.
