No, they did not. They had a weak rushing defense, which was exploited by a top 10 rushing offense. We rushed for our season average, which was top 10. In what world would you say letting someone do what they have done consistently during the season be held in check?


Giving up your season average YPC is the exact opposite of being exploited, actually.

Again, they allowed 20% more than their already poor average. That is not holding anything in check, and was in fact the reason they lost the game.




Total yards.

No, it isn't. When that average indicates a weakness, which 5.1 would be considered, and you match that, it is exploitation of said weakness. Besides, they were giving up more like 4.9 yards before that game.

It is relevant here, especially considering we ran the clock out for the first time I can remember all season. We won the game by running the ball, therefore they did not hold us in check. Sure, relative to our season average of 5.8, 5.1 is less. But I fail to see how that is at all relevant.
