Speaking of the running game, I was just looking, and if we keep up the current pace we'll have five players gain between 220 and 1000 yards. Smith will probably wind up going over 1000, PTG will wind up between 600-700, Hunt is on pace for about 480, and both Morris and McFarlane are going to get between 220-270 each. To put that in perspective, last season we only had two players gain 200 yards. In 2011, only one player gained more than 200 yards. 2010 we had two. The last time we had at least three players gain 200+ yards was 2008, and two of the three didn't get above 240 yards. In the last decade, 2008 is the only time we've had at least three players gain 200 yards.

We already have more rushing yards than we did in 2005, 2006, or 2007. We are only 400 yards behind our 2008 total, 200 behind 2009, and 500 behind 2010. Our 3rd through 5th runners this year are each already ahead of their counterparts from last year.

We are averaging 5.3 yards per carry as a team.

That's incredible to me. This is pretty much the first time I've ever hoped that we would just run, run, run, and keep on running, and forget about the passing game (which is nonexistent anyway).
