Running the ball means more wins? Some stats from GoHuskies

PurpleReign

THE 100-YARD FACTOR: Since the 1947 season, Washington is 200-65-3 (.752) when a Husky player rushes for 100 yards in a game. The Huskies were 5-4 in such games in 2015 and are 1-0 this year (Arizona).

HISTORY LESSON: Successfully rushing the football and winning go hand-in-hand for the Huskies. Since 1990, UW has rushed for 200 yards in a game 102 times. The Huskies' record stands at 85-16-1 (.838) in those contests. Since 1995, UW is 60-13-1 (.818) when rushing for 200 yards.

It also helps when you can hold the opposing team under 300 yards rushing.

Yeah teams run when they are winning and pass when they are behind. Causation is reversed.

I like to pretend 1990 football is the same as 2016 football cause it's what I like to do

USC would be undefeated and ranked #5 if they would run the ball

TL,DR coming from a certain poster about how teams that are ahead run the ball more.

That may be your simplistic view of things but for those of us who appreciate real football discussion instead of 81% of things that aren't funny anymore it is an interesting discussion.

Let's break it down.

A thousand more
