Before RoJo started at LT:

8 games
79 carries
416 yards
5.26 ypc
5 TDs

Miami & beyond:
5 games
91 carries
592 yards
6.5 ypc
3 TDs

The more interesting aspect was his YPC per game. Before the Cam switch, he was inconsistent, averaging between 1.7 (ND) & 12.2 (UL) ypc. Those were back to back games. He was under 4 ypc 4 times in 8 games played.

After the oline move, he averaged AT LEAST 5.4 ypc every game. Against UM he had 13.1 ypc.

Obviously we knew our offense looked and moved better after the switch was made. But the consistency is really telling IMO.

It also shows that our young guys took a little bit to get going. Getting their feet wet, if you will.

One extra note, the last 5 games, Dalvin hit double digit carries in all but Miami (where he had 92 on 7 carries). In the other 8 games, he hit double digit carries in 4 games.

I think Dalvin will shine with consistency this year.
