Woody’s Roundup: Week 3 (Pitt)

Some of these stats are excellent, and others are quite the opposite.

Most of the ugliness lies in the yards-per-play figures. Allowing 4.5 yards per carry is not a recipe for success against a team like Pitt that relies on the run game, though it’s worth noting that over a third of Pitt’s rushing yards came on two carries in the first quarter (an 18-yard gain on Qadre Ollison’s first carry and his 31-yard TD run on their second possession). The more concerning figure is Pitt’s 8.6 yards per pass attempt, well above the typical range of 6-7 yards per attempt.
