Re: A Misunderstanding about NCAA 2004 running game.
Hey guys, just to help with the run v/ pass discussion, here are some numbers from last year's full season...all 117 D1 teams' games:
Rushing (Per Team)
Attempts Per Game: 39.49
Yards Per Attempt: 4.01
Yards Per Game: 158.41
Passing (Per Team)
Attempts Per Game: 31.17
Completion %: 55.38%
Yards Per Attempt: 6.98
Yards Per Game: 217.61
So teams rushed on approx. 56% of their plays. And when you figure in the NCAA, sacks are counted as rushing attempts, the number moves a bit closer to a 50/50 mix. This just continues a trend of more and more teams in college adopting pass first mentalities. Of course, this is an aggregate stat, the per team ratios (don't quote me here, these are from memory), were as extreme as 75% one way or the other for the outliers, either way.
