GuestRunning Back Efficiency Ratings are modeled losely on QB efficiency ratings and hope to show how effective a running back is when getting touches. A score of 100 is considered to be an 'effective' running back.
Michael Alisa - 57.78 - Alisa struggled in this game, with a full 1/3rd of his carries being negative. Add in to that a fumble (not lost) and you have a tough efficiency rating.
JJ DiLuigi - 99.47 - Hit the effective mark, but without any touchdowns wasn't able to surpass it.
Bryan Kariya - 105.00 - Went just above effective, he had few carries, but scored a touchdown. One thing RBER doesn't track that would help BK is 3rd down conversions. The guy is absolutely money on 3rd and short.
J. Quezada - 106.00 - Averaged 8 yards a carry on 3 carries. Not enough carries to make a signicant statistical count, but a positive turn around from his last several games.
As a whole BYU was just short of effective at 90.57 running the ball. I think that is reflective in our 177 yards (RB rushing) against a team that is terrible at stopping the rush. We weren't as effective as we would have liked to have been. Part of that was effective run stop defense by NMSU which routinely had 9 guys in the box to stop the rush. Their defensive strategy appeared to be stop the rush and make Jake Heaps beat them through the air. A strategy that may have worked much better if the BYU defense wasn't so stout at stopping their own offensive attack.
One thing BYU and Jake Heaps in particular has not done well at this year is passing to the RB out of the back field. Passing numbers are down so far this year compared to previous seasons that BYU can hardly be considered a team that passes to RB at all.
This actually makes sense since a RB out of the backfield is typically a check down receiver and Heaps has struggled to get past his first read all season long. I do think it is something we will need to have in order to finish the season strong.
