It's more about the offensive line. They can make an average RB look great.

This x 1000.

Just look at Alabama. They've been playing defensive ends at running back and having a lot of success in doing so. One of them even won the Heisman.

Hell, even Trent Richardson looked like an NFL back running behind that OL.

I could average 5 ypc running behind that line.

More so than the oline, their defense getting 3 and out after 3 and out wears down the opposing defense. Their backs tend to do the most damage late in games.
