Forget rushing average or yards per game.
We decided to crunch the numbers and check out some lesser-known stats for the Big Ten's returning running backs. Who picked up the most yards after getting hit? Who was the biggest nightmare in the fourth quarter? And who was always a lock to pick up a first down on third-and-short?
Those numbers are a bit harder to find but, thanks to ESPN Stats & Info, we were able to answer all those questions.
Granted, the stats are still imperfect. Variables like opponent, offensive line and score weren't taken into account, so some numbers may appear inflated or deflated.
