When Turpin went out a few weeks ago, I thought that was going to hurt them on offense some. Well if the past few are indicative of the future, that isn't the case:
TEAM, PASSING YARDS, RUSHING YARDS
SDSU, 439, 223
Arkansas, 377, 195
ISU, 252, 229
SMU, 452, 137
OU, 449, 65
So the averages with and without Turpin are this:
PASSING, RUSHING, TOTAL
w/ Turpin: 356, 216, 572
w/o Turpin: 451, 101, 552
Now you may be thinking this could just relate to totals, but the average catch and rush are the same. Not the case. Here is the passing average per attempt, rushing average per attempt, and total average per play:
PASSING, RUSHING, TOTAL
w/ Turpin: 7.5, 6.1, 6.9
w/o Turpin: 9.8, 3.3, 7.2
Now scoring has dropped about a TD per game without Turpin (not mentioned above). It's a small sample size on both ends, so could be several reasons why this is happening and not really relate to Turpin, however found it strange the passing game has been more effective without Turpin while the rushing game has been less effective. Will that be the same against KU?
