Rushes are what eat up the clock.
But as you said, this is only a 3 game sample. It will be interesting to see how things play out over a whole season, then multiple seasons.

The 33% yardage issue might be contributed to Harderman who is averaging 216 rush yards per game for Tucson. He's on his way to a 3500 yard season if he can keep that up.
