RE: Since when are we playing SEC talent with any regularity? Big 12 is not SEC

Well, I think you missed my point. Tyler Algier that year was running behind a good offensive line but against a pitiful PAC XII, some G-5 teams and put up 66pts. against Viginia. The Cougs were running against the 70th worst strength of schedule in college football. That just might have had something to do with Tyler's numbers.

It's the best ability, some say.

Allgeier also ran for 7.0 ypc and then 7.5 ypc, compared to Martin's 4.8 ypc

Yup felt like even if tacklers got to him at the line he’d still get four.

TTech and Arkansas don't fit that narrative. Not sure if you were TIC.

It's sort of TIC. Just frustrating we don't get to see him run the ball more! I

TA's game was never breakaway runs, but positive yardage every. single. down.

Love how he would end each run punishing the defender. That Utah game

Oct 9, 10:00am

He had some. Remember Utah State?

It was both. He had plenty of breakaway runs.

LJ played in our last 3 games in 2023 and ran for 80 yds on 13 carries

Captain Stubing

My bad. He missed TX, OSU, and WVU. 1 carry against OU, 8 carries against ISU

Which is why it is great news he will be back

5 ypc in college football isn't 5 ypc in the NFL. For context, a 5.0 ypc

For context, Miles Davis averages 5.3 ypc and has 20.5% of his career runs for 10+ yards
