There needs to be a statistic for %total tackles. Like James had 6/55 total tackles or 11% of the total tackles in the game. That way, good defenses aren't penalized for limiting the number of plays. I know Tressel said he would have liked more defensive reps but that is a problem I would feel good having.
I wonder what the percentage of tackles he had while in the game? It must have been around 30%. Take out 15 tackles from kickoffs so he has 6/40. Now figure he was only in on half of the plays so he has 6/20. My reverse engineering worked and I have "proved" he made 30% of the tackles he possibly could have. That is impressive, even if they are only assisted tackles from jumping on the pile.
