This post should have ended the argument:
husker_99,
If you really aren't trolling, then clearly spell out your point for us in a sentence or two.
Guys, husker_99 isn't even listening to your points. I can't decide if he's an excellent troll, willfully ignoring your arguments, or incapable of seeing anything other than his own viewpoint. I'm leaning towards trolling since he won't pin down his point and keeps shifting the argument.Alright stats boy:
I will break down the rushing attempts, YPC, and total yards based on Sports-Reference.com from each QB we are talking about in the years we played them:
Klein in 2011
317 attempts, 1100 yards at 3.47 per carry
McCoy in 2011
129 attempts, 348 yards at 2.7 YPC
RG3 we saw in Bo's first season as HC. I'm not going to even include him.
Colter
2011) 135 attempts - 654 yards at 4.84 YPC
2012) 170 attempts - 894 yards at 5.25 YPC
Miller
2011) 159 attempts - 715 yards at 4.49 YPC
2012) 227 attempts - 1271 yards at 5.6 YPC
Robinson
2011) 221 attempts - 1176 yards at 5.32 YPC
2012) 177 attempts - 1266 yards at 7.15 YPC
As you see from the data above, the QBs that we have faced twice in two years have all averaged more per carry than both of the QBS you named and all three had more attempts than one of the QBs you named. By these numbers, I am going to conclude that as a whole, The Big Ten Spread Option QBs in the conversation are better runners and more explosive runners. They also get to carry the football a lot more than we saw QBs do in the Big 12.
