Year |yds/carry| Rank | yds/game | Rank
One thing that stuck out to me is that our 2014 stats would have been about 20 places higher in the rankings in 2006/7. Offenses have gotten better.
Our 2007 rushing offense would have be 38th in ypc last year and 40th in total yards.
What should be our ultimate goal? Is it Wisc/Neb?
Other Big Ten Teams:
It's nice to be back on the radar with our run game, but we still have a long way to go to get back to our best days, and much farther to go to be among the best in our conference. The benchmark being around 225 yds a game to get to the top 25 in rushing.
