re: Putting Tre Mason's 2013 season in perspective

How did the system or games played (as someone else mentioned 14 vs 13 or less) help his numbers? If he has less carries and a better ypc then isn't that an apples to apples comparison?

The comparison is apples to apples with respect to the number of carries (that account for any discrepancy in games played).

System can matter though when comparing different RBs, just as it can matter when comparing QB stats. Malzaln's offense's ability to create space and confusion through misdirection and the hurry up concept is going to produce some big numbers, talent of players notwithstanding to some degree.
