In the Big 12 maybe but not in the NFL. I took every ballcarrier who has toted the rock this season and put it into a spreadsheet.. I came up with 11279 carries for 48885 yards.. a 4.33 average..
That's actually higher than I thought it would be.. but it's being helped along by Qbs like Murray and Jackson both of whom are putting up over 6 ypc.
Also if hitting home runs is so important why is the current biggest home run threat playing (Dalvin Cook) on a team with a 6-7 record? How important can it be? Barkley has been the biggest home run threat beside Cook and Henry and his team is a collective 9-23 with him in the lineup. Where does all this incredible value manifest itself.. since it's certainly not in the win-loss ledger? Is appearances on SportsCenter an official stat?
