[QUOTE="TownesVanZandt_rivals, post: 130960962, member: 1606648"] Exactly. Stats usually aren't a way to measure anything. Some bad running teams put up a lot of yards but they do it because space is opened up. Chip Kelly's offense is a perfect example. Some good running teams aren't in the Top 10 or 20. What makes a difference is teams who can run the ball when everyone knows they will for 4+ yards. That is when you have things lined up. West Virginia wasn't that team last year. Those ypc were based around Will Grier. Without Will Grier teams are more likely to stay near the LOS. Only thing I have to wonder about Neal Brown and his OL coach is what they like in an OL. Looks like they want big guys. 6-5 315+. But truthfully the players who are being drafted in the first round on the OLine are the guys entering college at 6-5 or 6-6 270 and bulking up. Truthfully would take the big if he had the athleticism but most don't. When you run spread you need athletes on the OL because you have more space to cover. Don't think WV is near what they should be because those OL aren't covering a lot of space and the space they do cover they aren't dominating. That is something that takes a program 2+ years to fix [/QUOTE]
