Does Anyone Find This STAT Incredible ?
Let me start out by saying that i'm HORRIBLE at math but I was really bored and really curious to see what would happen if you get the rushing Avg. of a player and add it with his Receiving Avg. Then divide that # by 2 and u get what I call
YARD PER TOUCH (YPT)
For example: In 2001 Ronnie had a 4.3 rushing Avg and a 15.6 Receiving Avg. You add those 2 numbers and get 19.9. Divide 19.9 by 2 and u get 9.95 YPT
Just look at how incredible Ronnie's YPT was at Auburn:
RONNIE BROWN
2001 4.3rush 15.6rec 9.95 YPT
2002 5.8 18.4 12.1 4 year TOTAL: 9.25
2003 4.7 10.0 7.35
2004 6.0 9.2 7.6
Cedric Benson
2001 4.9rush 11.9rec 8.40 YPT
2002 4.2 5.7 4.95 4 year TOTAL: 7.37
2003 5.3 13.3 9.30
2004 5.6 8.1 6.85
Carnell Williams
2001 5.5rush 10.8rec 8.15 YPT
2002 5.3 5 5.15 4 year TOTAL: 6.012
2003 5.4 4 4.70
2004 4.9 7.2 6.05
In conclusion:
Looks like Coach Saban made the right pick because RONNIE FREAKING AVERAGES 9.25 YARDS ANY TIME HE TOUCHES THE BALL....INCREDIBLE !!!!! COOL STAT TO HAVE !!!!:cooldude:
If you want to do it another way....
YPT = (yards receiving + yards rushing) / (rushes + receptions)
Ronnie 3393/565 = 6.005
Cedric 6198/1181 = 5.24
Carnell 4215/786 = 5.36
He's still on top of the list !!!!
