Title: SEC Running Back Success Rate Week 5 Post by: Catch Prothro on October 04, 2011, 09:41:01 AM http://www.rollbamaroll.com/
Quote Alabama fans should be very happy with this week's numbers. Trent Richardson comes in as the most successful back after a very impressive 29 rushes for 181 yards (6.2 ypc) and 2 TD performance at Florida. His 66% success rate was the highest among SEC backs, with only Tauren Poole's 65% against Buffalo coming close. Richardson also led the pack with the most successful attempts and total yardage, and was behind only Eddie Lacy and Onterio McCaleb in ypc average, though it should be noted neither of them carried the ball more than 10 times. Alabama fans should also be happy about the numbers put up by Florida's Chris Rainey and Jeff Demps. Over the past four weeks they have routinely been at the top of the standings in success rate and ypc averages, but after facing Alabama's defense they were held to 27% and 0% success rates and .4 and 1.3 ypc averages, respectively. For all the concerns on how our linebackers would manage their speed on the outside without C.J. Mosley, I think we managed it pretty well. |
