Yeah, Troussaint's average yards per carry (ypc) was 3 times greater, i.e. 0.3333 (Green's average ypc) X three = 1.000 (Troussaint's average ypc)

Reminds me of my Freshman year (1966) at Ohio State living in Smith Hall. One guy (Whitey) on the floor got 3 times the score another guy (Burley) got on a Chemistry midterm. Burley got a 2, Whitey got a 6. That was out of 100. Most people on the floor (including Whitey and Burley) got a good laugh about it. I believe they both ended up "flunking out".

Note: back then the admission standard/policy was the acceptance of anyone with a high school degree on a first come first served basis; and 75% of all freshman would not graduate.

Ha... I think you overestimate Green. By my count Troussaint is 27x the back Green is.

Either way - 30 carries between the two of them for 28 yards?!? If you're averaging about 1 yard a carry for 15 carries, don't you eventually try something else?

I didn't see the entire game. Was Gardners 120+ yards from scrambles, or designed runs, mostly?
