When you run more plays you get more total yards

Did we magically play more games than everybody else?

By what measure is our offense significantly improved?

Where were they not improved?

Broda

All of those measures are correlated to how many plays they ran

Ok then lets look at one stat: yards per play

Broda

4/18/14 10:02am

Taysom in Riley out. THAT alone makes a difference

CarolinaCoug

4/18/14 2:08pm

With the run game being the main focus those yds/play are significant imo.
