That's with every defense keying on him.

First down is what makes a back either great, or just another among the pack of really good running backs.

We went 12-4 in 2014, largely because Murray averaged 5+ on first downs.

Needing 3.7 on second and third makes life much easier. Running the ball is what this team is built to do.
