re: Jeremy Hill - How good was he?

How much does OL play account for?

Alabama as a team rushed for 6.4 yards per carry in SEC games.

LSU as a team rushed for 4.5 yards per carry in SEC games.

Auburn: 5.7

Yeldon had 6.2 yards/att
Hill had 6.1 yards/att
Mason had 5.1 yards/att

Yeldon was below the Bama average by 0.4 (-0.4)
Mason was below the Auburn average by 0.6 (-0.6)
Hill was above the LSU average by 1.6 (+1.6)

Add that Hill ran for a higher yds/att in common games than Yeldon

Hill >>> Yeldon



Worth noting that college football takes yards lost by sacks from rushing yards. NFL takes it away from team passing yards. LSU lost 147 yards from sacks. Bama only lost 26. Didn't do the calculation but Hill still beats Yeldon vs. the team average considerably.
