Just added in Navy's 221 yards from today and it brings them down to a 292.3 avg and 3801 yards on the season. That's still just a hair above Nevada at 291.4. We currently have a 282.3 avg with 3388 yards. So if we run for 414 yards against LSU, we'll pass them. Then we need Maryland to hold Nevada to under 304 yards. They averaged 238 per game against Bowl teams (mostly because of 472 yds on Fresno St.).
 
hope the team knows this, sounds like a good extra motivator that would align with the main one (winning the game) nicely
 
That's some nice info there. I think it is great that we are even in the top 5 of rushing in our first year. I am sure we will be #1 next year. Just think, if we didn't have the hiccup in the Gardner-Webb game, we would probably be #1 right now.

But remember that we only had G-W on the schedule because Army backed out. Given how we played against G-W, I think we would have been looking at a loss against Army. With both Nesbitt & Shaw out due to injuries, there are precious few teams we could have played at that time that wouldn't have given us fits.

I agree totally. I was moreso referring to our odd situation with two injured QBs and how that set us back form being #1 in rushing yards.

we probably would have been a bit more motivated against Army and played better. i dont think you can predict either. i doubt we would have lost though.

I'm not so sure. But...

Chalk up more points for CPJ in his injury management this season. While every game is important, some are less so than others. UGA will always be major because it's a rivalry game. But other non-conference match ups only affect BCS standings. If it's unlikely that we'll be a BCS condender in a given season, why not rest your starters and get your scrubs some reps.

So even if we were "up" for playing Army. We'd have still had Booker in and it wouldn't have been worth burning a red-shirt.

I was just trying to impress all you engineers with my Berry College Liberal Arts School math skills. I even had to DIVIDE! :wow:

This is the kind of thread I would expect GTUGA to start. Nevertheless, good work Berry!

Thanks, certainly would be something to hang your hat on. It'd get mentioned alot going into next year if we had the #1 rushing attack returning (no shame in being being 2 or 3 out of 120 teams though and either way we should tops of BCS teams).
 
Bump.

This part is a done deal at this point in the blue bowl:
Then we need Maryland to hold Nevada to under 304 yards.

414 is a bit far fetched, but it's doable.
