[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 158466, member: 195"] Good look. Still, I have mixed feelings about the usefulness of comparing stats like this. Roddy was only the feature A-Back in 2008 which featured a string of bad games when Nesbitt was hurt and right after, and 2010 was a drain on almost all offensive stats. Over the last 6 games in 2008, including the disastrous bowl game versus Iowa, Roddy carried the ball 50 times for 513 yds (10.26 ypc). Over the last 6 games in 2013, Robbie carried the ball 48 times for 471 yds (9.8 ypc). If you look at 2011 and 2012, Orwin was the feature A-Back in both years with Roddy and Robbie. In 2011, Roddy had 57 carries for 458 yds (8.04 ypc). In 2012, Robby had 54 carries for 429 yds, 7.94 yds/carry. Orwin Averaged 10.08 yds/carry in 2011, and 8.63 yds/carry in 2012. So, while it's close, I still have to go with Roddy Jones. [/QUOTE]
