Rushing Success Rate General Definition

1ST DOWN - successful carry = gains at least 40% of the yards needed; therefore, four yards are required on 1st-and-10 before the running back is given credit.

2ND DOWN - successful carry = gains at least 50% of the yards needed for the first down. This means that 2nd-and-8 runs are failures unless they pick up 4 yards; on 2nd-and-7, the running back must also gain at least 4 yards.

3RD/4TH DOWN - successful carry = gains a first down (or touchdown). A failure is every carry that does not result in a first down.

Rushing Success Rate %
1. Tyler Badie (MIZ) : 65.7%
2. Isaiah Spiller (A&M) : 64.3%
3. Clyde Edwards-Helaire (LSU) : 62.2%
4. Kavosiey Smoke (UK) : 58.8%
5. DeAndre Swift (UGA) : 58.1%
5. Najee Harris (BAMA) : 58.1%

4. Tyler Badie (MIZ) : 5.7%
5. Kavosiey Smoke (UK) : 5.9%
10. Najee Harris (BAMA) : 6.5%
19. Brian Robinson (BAMA) : 13.8%

SEC - % of rushes 0-3 yards

17. Brian Robinson (BAMA) : 20.7%

SEC - % of rushes 10+ yards
1. DeAndre Swift (UGA) : 25.8%
2. Kavosiey Smoke (UK) : 17.7%
3. Clyde Edwards-Helaire (LSU) : 10.8%
4. Kylin Hill (MSU) : 15.4%
5. Raheem Boyd (ARK) : 14.6%
12. Brian Robinson (BAMA) : 6.9%
13. Najee Harris (BAMA) : 6.5%

So all in all, our rush game has been decent. We're not getting stuffed behind the line much, we're gaining 3-5 yards quite frequently, but we aren't hitting a lot of big plays - which is I think a big part of why we are all kind of anxious about it.

Brian Robinson has been underwhelming relative to the preseason hype. It's a shame Sanders went down

Run blocking has been grossly inconsistent against poor competition to date. Despite a huge advantage in size we do not consistently move the LoS and have also seen some really disappointing busts at tackle from two guys who should’ve been cornerstones in Wills and Leatherwood.

I think Neal has a HUGE ceiling at tackle, but I don’t see him as an answer at LG. Similarly, Womack just seems to lack the skill set at RG, but would probably be ok at RT.

I worried at all the shuffling going on during camp because I thought it would lead to postponing our ability to gel as a unit and I think evidence to date supports that being the case.

Needless to say, not at all impressed with what Sark and Flood have done at OL so far, but hoping they just viewed this part of the season as a proving ground to see what works and will fine tune going into A&M with Brown coming back.
