1000 Yard Rushers


Recommended Posts


Honestly, it comes down to what Wilbon can do after contact. Bryant has the tools, but I don't think he is gonna carry 1,000 yards this season. I truly think it's Wilbon making the most of his carries, and even then he falls about 200 yards short of the 1,000 yard mark.

Team rushing is what matters. It's dropped off from the Pelini years. But it's more than Callahan. Not even close to the 90s championship years.

The thing that will skew this years number will be the short passes to RBs that I expect we'll see. But really, who cares? I mean, what's the difference between pitching the ball 7 yards on an option or throwing a 7 yard shovel pass to a RB?

No real difference imo. If the offense is effective and effectively using all the pieces to attack the defense in a variety of ways, that's usually a good offense

Or it could just take one of those freaky games...like say game one a RB goes for 210...game two the same back goes for 175... maybe just some long run is broken play on defense stuff like that… But all the sudden through the first two games you have almost 400 yards rushing with 10 games left to go.
