Lists for Both Teams
Let's take a look at some of these numbers above. Biggest difference I see right away is the TD totals in terms of total carries. Memphis had 29 TDs on 541 carries while VT had 19 TDs on 545 carries. Another interesting takeaway is that both VT and Memphis seemed to use 4 main RB's and the AVG carry per RB is pretty close for each team.
Scenario Time
Take Memphis's 2nd leading RB rusher Cooper he got 91 carries, VT's 2nd leading RB rusher Sam had 61 carries. Give Sam 30 more to match Coopers 91 and using Sam's AVG yards per carry you get a total of 389 yards which is exactly the same yards that Cooper had.
Take Memphis's 3rd leading RB rusher Craft he got 82 carries, VT's 3rd leading RB rusher JC had 48 carries. Give JC 34 more carries and again using his AVG yards per carry you get a total of 359 yards. That's 26 more yards than Craft.
So realistically with those two scenarios VT and Memphis's rotations should have worked. I think the biggest difference after watching film of Memphis and VT is the way each team used the RB Rotation. For the most part the numbers are pretty close in terms of carries and AVG gain, but the actual production in terms of TD's and Total yards is where the meat is. That's where Memphis excelled and this is exactly what I expect VT's rotation to look like come Fall.
RUN 3MC "Credit->HokieJeep" Sam, QB1 and Reid should have a ton of production. Sprinkle in a couple WR's and VT will be running wild!
Feel free to add discussion and suggestions for more stats and or breakdown if you want.
