Last year I had the Monty Meter on my site, tracking Ty Montgomery's all-purpose yardage, but that fizzled. I just put up the Mac Meter. As many of noted here, McCaffrey appears to be a lock to set the Stanford record, has a good shot at the Pac-12 mark, and could even break the NCAA record. My calculations figure the twelve regular season games plus a bowl game, but there could obviously be one, or two, or even three additional games.

Anyway, here's where things stand now:

The Mac Meter
Through 6 Games:

Rushing: 844 yards
Receiving: 172 yards
Punt Ret: 22 yards
Kick Ret: 480 yards
Total: 1,518 yards
Average: 253.0 ypg

Stanford Record -- 2,234 yards (Glyn Milburn)
*Needs to Average: 102.4 ypg

Pac-12 Record -- 2,683 yards (Marqise Lee)
*Needs to Average: 166.6 ypg

NCAA Record -- 3,250 yards (Barry Sanders)
*Needs to Average: 247.6 ypg

* Assuming Stanford plays only 7 more games.

That's awesome Hank.  I see him breaking both Stanford & Pac-12 fairly easily, but he'd have to get 5 more touches per game to have a shot at Sanders' record.  I don't see that happening.

What I'm seeing is that he simply needs to continue doing what he's doing, and that's assuming there's no conference title game or playoffs.  He's currently averaging 253 and needs to average 247.6 the rest of the way.  Or have I oversimplified somewhere?  I tend to miss things.

That's correct. The biggest variable as I see it will be his kick return yardage. Montgomery's numbers were depressed by a defense that typically allowed only two or three kickoffs a game. That probably won't be the case for McCaffrey, but at a certain point people will simply stop kicking to him, which will cost him 50-100 yards per game.
