Devrin Young

Return specialist only. He is worse than Neal when it comes to getting up field.

You realize that the 30 yard run counts, right?

If you take out the last plays of the game, we were 8-5 in Dooley's first year.

Well, it will be nice if I'm wrong, but I still say that Young is not fast enough to break one of those outside against Florida, Georgia, or Bama, and that he should be playing less than Neal and Lane.

And the main reason I think Young got more carries then Lane this game is because dooley wanted to give him an equal chance because he didn't think he got enough carries against NC state.

I think lane fumbling had something to do with it to.

Lol so he was fast enough to take a screen pass for 21 last year against LSU as a freshman, but not as a sophomore?

Everyone can have a good play here and there. I dont know what game you watched, Young was far less than impressive on offense outside of the one play.

Read the other posts above, its not just me. Or, just go ahead and keep being clever, as you seem to excel at that.

Again, take away the 30 yard run he had late in the game during garbage time, and he had 16 yards on 7 carries. Thats 2.3 yards per carry. 4 of those is a turnover on downs. Thanks for playing.

Why the hell do people only want to count short runs, and not long ones. It's stupid. They count.
Just as stupid as saying he averaged 15 yards a carry when you take out a couple short ones.

young averaged 5.8 ypc on 8 carries for 46 yards. Neal 5.0 ypc on 13 carries for 64 yards. With 5 less carries he did pretty good. Give him 3 more carries he is your leading rusher. Now what were u saying?????

Fine. If Devrin breaks one of those against Florida, Bama, or Georgia, I'll happily come back here and eat crow. Just dont see it happening after watching him the first two games.

It will happen if he gets in space. It's all or nothing with a little scat-back like him.

Only count the short ones. Anything over 8 yards doesn't count.

Young's runs were of the following distances: 1,0,2,30,8,1,0, and 4. The run of 30 yards skews the average north of what he was actually gaining on typical runs. However, we will give Young three more carries so he can, according to you, be the rushing leader. Who is to say he won't have runs of 1 yard, 4 yards, and 2 yards? Granted, he could rip off another run of 30 yards; however, this is very unlikely as shown by the breakdown of his yards per carry. That average does not accurately depict Young's productiveness on a play by play basis. Yes, he averaged 5.8 ypc. However, he was not gaining 5.8 yards on a typical touch.

Neal had a long of 19 yards. Take that carry away he has 45 yards on 12 carries. 3.75 average. We can do this all day. Take away 1 justin hunter touchdown he now only has 2. And Tyler bray on throws 3 td. Wow stats count it don't matter if a lot of yards come on one play. Break down the other two rb. U can't not count one play.

And I understand what an average is. Apparently u don't. If u don't count one play or one grade. U include them all to get an average!!!

You are completely missing the point. Young is not consistently picking up a solid amount of yards. That's what this team needs. Somebody to move the chains on 3rd down. The breakdown indicates that Young is more likely to pick up 0-3 yards than he is to pick up 4-7 yards. You want to use an outlier to validate your argument. Therefore, I will use the same logic: Rex Grossman had a perfect passer rating recently. This clearly indicates that Rex Grossman is a premiere quarterback in the NFL. Don't tell me that Rex is a bad quarterback because every other game he has played indicates otherwise. Clearly, CLEARLY, this freak occurrence is an accurate representation of Rex Grossman's otherworldly talent and undeniable ability to be a starting quarterback in the NFL. See what I did there?

*I do want to make this clear. I am in no way attempting to bash Devrin Young. I am simply making a logical argument as to who should get the bulk of the carries.*

Also, just a suggestion, if you are going to attack my argument, attack it properly. I am talking about removing nonrecurring statistics. You are talking about removing something that has become the norm. The two are not the same, at all.

Have a nice day

I know what an average is. I am looking at the productivity per play. That indicates to me that if more carries were administered, the AVERAGE would drop significantly.
