Double Digit Rushing Dogs Week 4

[ldabdou]

Someone used to start this thread every week and I would like to see it back. This is one of my favorite angles. Please feel free to add if you like. I will start it off with....

Ball St. +10.

If anybody else has another site that provides this info that would be awesome.

Dogs That Bark did it for the bowl games.

With vast early amount of games vs FCS teams , numbers will be askewed.

When I first started handicapping my own games in 1990 I used YPR vs rush defense more than anything else. If I could find a team that averaged 5.0+ per rush vs. one that gave up 5.0+ per rush then I felt like I had gold on my hands.

With the way these defenses are geared to stop the pass it might be something worth looking at again. I still factor it in but it's not my main factor like it use to be. My worry the past few years is that with double digit rushing dogs that get down early to passing teams and have to abandon the run or more of it than they would normally.

I too love the rushing dog angle...
Always been a money maker for me.
