Message: [QUOTE="CIL, post: 23276, member: 22"] How do you measure effectiveness? I'm not trying to be combatative here, or hosting some sort of sabermetric vs meathead discussion. Getting that out of the way, Carter possessed the higher yards per attempt (despite handling the sort yardage role), the longest run from scrimmage, and higher touchdowns per carry statistics. Unfortunately, there aren't any advanced metric websites for college football like FootballOutsiders. However, I would be willing to wager that DC3's YPA on a play where the defense won the battle would have been higher than Bailey's, but certainly not the 2-3 yards that one would expect. [/QUOTE]
