Running Back Success Rates vs Auburn
...this week's wallpaper, by the way...
To refresh your memories (or if this is the first time you've seen this), each individual rush is considered on it's own, and measured by it's "success." A run is considered successful if it gets 40% of the yardage needed to move the chains on first down, 60% of the yardage needed on second down, and 100% of the yardage needed on third or fourth down. This is a much more accurate overall picture of how well a running back does in a game than just the total yardage or ypc averages because it ignores big run outliers that can skew those kinds of stats. First up, Glen Coffee:
Coffee had some good success in the early goings but his production slipped some in the second half, though most of that was due to Alabama doing nothing but run and Auburn doing nothing but play the run. Next, Mark Ingram:
Interestingly, while Coffee's numbers dropped in the second half, Ingram was able to gain more yardage and was more successful, with his second half performance looking better success rate wise than Coffee did in either half (though he certainly takes the prize for overall performance). Finally, the mop up crew:
Upchurch managed a perfect 100% in clean up duty, though he did only carry two times, while Griffin and Grant didn't fare nearly as well.

Actually
it was the paint from the center emblem, made mostly on the first or second drive of the game.

The tiggers still won't need their clorox
they barely got to the 50 yard line at all in the game!

Interesting...
7 of 11 is 63% for Coffee in the first half, but 64% for Ingram in the second half.

Apparently...
…I forgot to round up for Coffee. Oops.

quick question...
My best friend and I got into a discussion about how many plays were run to the right side during the Auburn game…does anyone have a breakdown on how many running plays went to the right, left, center, etc.?? Just wanted to know, it seemed like the gameplan suited the fact that defenses are starting to load up on the left side of our line and we were exploiting the right side. Roll Tide!

Good question.
I’m sure we can dig that up somewhere.

thanks man!
It was interesting to watch the blocking schemes they were trying out on Saturday, kinda looked like they were giving a glimpse of plays hidden in that playbook of theirs!
