NCAA 2013 Stats Manual

quote:

"SECTION 5—TOTAL OFFENSE AND ALL-PURPOSE RUNNING

Article 3. All-purpose running is the combined net yards gained by rushing, receiving, interception returns, punt returns, kickoff re- turns and runbacks of field goal attempts. All-purpose running does not include forward passing yardage."

He is not getting the yardage in his stats for the runback. Only credited for 231 total all-purpose yards.

Because it didn't happen. ESPN just threw it in to screw with you. Move on.

Should be. It's the same as a punt return.

Article in the paper today said the stats program LSU uses wouldn't accept/take the yardage so they had no way to enter into official reported stats until they can figure it out.

No shite Sherlock

There was no category electronically to enter it into to add it to all purpose yds

So they created a misc return category....since fg returns happen every week

Damn

They still haven't added it to his all purpose yards

Maybe they should read the rules
