I feel like the stats here might be more helpful if you took out returns. For one, they throw off the yards when theoretically anyone should get to the 20 every KR. Plus they confuse the touches.
I'd be interested to see it in terms of only offensive touches. Especially since the offense is the part that most needs to be fixed.
Yeah, I see what you mean. Maybe I'll do that later. Guess I was curious to see what somebody does when he touches the ball, regardless of whether he's on O, D or ST.
But if we take out returns, Norman's numbers go way down. Cole's numbers plummet because a ton of his yardage came from that one return against EMU. In fact, all of Cole's numbers drop dramatically without EMU stats. Krause and Stacy's yards per touch go up if you take away their punt returns.
