49 yds. a game. That's great, but have they played a team with a good running game. Let's take a look at the stats.
W vs. NW - NW has no air attack, so any team can play the run all game. NW still gets 121 yds.
L vs. WIS - fairly balanced attack, run for 141 yds.
W vs. IOWA - held them to 66 yds.
W vs. IND - they just suck so no surprise here that they were dominated
W vs. PSU - 3rd weakest run attack in Big 10, 33 yds. on ground but 253 in the air
W vs. MSU - worst running team in Big 10, run for 5 but throw for 373
W vs. PUR - another team w/ balanced attack gives OSU trouble, 106 running and 249 passing
So by looking at the stats, Yes OSU has a great overall avg. because the totally dominated the super weak Big 10 teams. However, teams that could not run did throw all over the field. This week, OSU will play the most balanced attack in Michigan. They run as well as WIS and throw like MSU. This has LOSS written all over it for this overachieving team.
