RB by committee or RB by play?

What ever they did, I hope they do it again and do it a lot.

How much of that yardage was on QB scrambles? I think that yardage would have to be subtracted as it is abnormal (not from RBs).

43 yards by the QBs. That is a lot. But that's still 117 from the RBs which is very good.

80 yards were gained by Ingram, Robinson and PT. Just my opinion but I think they would've gained a lot more if they'd stayed in for 4 quarters behind the starting Oline. Cadet also had 31 more yards. I think one of the other backs would've gotten those yards in a regular season game. (assuming Cadet wasn't activated)

By comparison, we've averaged...
92.1 yards last season
98.6 in 2012
132.9 in 2011
94.9 in 2010
131.6 in 2009
99.6 in 2008
91.6 in 2007
110.1 in 2006
