[URL='http://static.bgsufalcons.com/custompages/stats/football/2015/teamcume.htm']Bowling Green - Cumulative Season Statistics[/URL] In 2016 at Syracuse, we averaged 120 yards rushing and 321 yards passing per game and scored 26ppg. Dontae Strickland ran for 588 yards and 4 scores while Moe Neal ran for 376 yards and 2 scores. Our two quarterbacks, Eric Dungey and Zach mahoney ran the ball a total of 169 times. [URL='http://www.cuse.com/documents/2017/4/12/2016SUFinalStats.pdf']Syracuse University Athletics - 2016SUFinalStats.pdf[/URL] Friday night, we rushed for 155 yards and passed for 421 and scored 50 points. But Strickland and Neal rushed for 56 yards on 19 carries, 3 yards a carry. Most of the rushing yardage came from Dungey who was our leading rusher with 51 yards on 9 carries and Markenzy Piere, who played in the 4th quarter against the reserves of an FCS team and gained 47 yards on 9 carries. What we are seeing is not what Dino Babers wants us to be. The better he has run the ball, the more his teams have scored. I'm all for coming out firing, making the defense cover the whole field and then gashing them with the running game but the running game has got to be more than what we've seen. Dino's highest scoring team had Taylor Duncan, 6-3 224 and Shepard Little, 5-10 198 both carry the ball 217 times and both ran for over 1,000 yards. [/QUOTE]
