Random Stat About Riley Receivers @ OSU

That's really not that much is it?

12 game season that's 16.5 per game. What that does tell me is that the has used the WR in the running game the last few years.

Hopefully we can have DPE average more than that per game.

 
It's not a lot but I'd guess it's on the high end for leading receivers. And that's part of it as well - not just the leading rushing performance from a WR but the amount of rushing yards by the LEADING receiver. Not just a change of pace guy who you're trying to get touches.

 
I think the receiver end around is something you might see 4-6 times one game, depending on gameplan, and then not at all or once or twice in another. Hard to imagine ever running it 10 times in a single game unless the offense is somehow really built off that action.

That stat is just the leading receiver, too.

I don't know, but:

Kenny Bell rushed for 109 yards in his career, including the 82 yarder against Minnesota.

Jamal Turner has rushed 7 times for 0 yards.

Pierson-El has 0 rushes.

Westerkamp has 1 rush for 7 yards.

 
The way many teams are running jet sweeps out of the shotgun, the ball is flipped forward from the QB to the WR running by. So, this is technically a reception for the WR. Just something to keep in mind when trying to compare stats from team to team.

Wisconsin/Nebraska title game comes to mind - oh, wait - OK, adjusted the voltage to my brain - I'm sorry I don't remember that game any more.

 
So... are we to expect WR Jet sweeps from De'mornay Pierson El at times?

Valid point.

I think Riley is smart enough to realize what kind of damage he could do to an opponents psyche if he repeatedly torched them with DPE. Regardless where the yards count I expect we see DPE rack up some monster yards this season.

If Riley can find ways to get DPE the ball in several different ways, he could have a season that could be really special. This guy is a total freak and he needs the ball in his hands as much as possible
