Use CFB, but you have to do a lot of your own math.

For each game, you have to take the opponent's listed runs and yards per run and then deduct sacks from the number of runs and add the lost sack yardage..  So you end up with fewer run attempts and more yards gained.

Then you have to do something similar with the opponents' season stats.  Take the total number of runs and yards gained, then go to sacks, look under opponent sacks, deduct the sacks from total runs and add the lost sack yardage into the running yardage.  And then, of course, divide the new yards gained by the new runs actually attempted.

Note that two of our three games before the last three weren't too bad.  We held Oregon and Utah below their season averages (by 0.15 and 0.22 yards per play), but got rolled by Notre Dame.  They averaged 5.30 against us but just 4.67 on the season.

thanks hulk.  

sacks still an issue for me.  you discount them as a run but count a successful QB scramble (i.e. avoiding a sack) as a positive run.  right?
