I think it's more split than you think, which is probably partially due to the gap between the two being so small, and partially due to people saying there will be a drop off with Ingram's departure.

well last year, all purpose, ypc, and td's='ed while being the 3rd option as a rusher

Not taking into account that the 3rd option and 1st option are on the field at the same time...therefore changing the dynamic of the offense that opposing defenses are facing. Stats would be much more comparable if they were operating out of similar offensive schemes.

2009 he was injured and played 3 less games, and still had more ypc

You're overlooking so many variables in this...

1. Different offensive dynamic at play here.
2. Ball St stats incredibly inflating the YPC.
3. Less games doesn't factor into YPC as much as it does total yards. If he played more games, he probably would've added more yards, but could've damaged his YPC numbers in the process. Because he played less games, the Ball St game is an even greater factor.
4. Also because he played less games, he played against less ranked opponents.

also better yards per kick return both years[/quote]

But less TDs.

I'm absolutely okay with saying McCalebb is a better returner lol
