we'll have to see
if Vince Young is running the ball alot then
1. his recievers are not catching passes
2. running backs are not carrying the ball

Which means USC defense is all over them and he has no choice but to take it... This won't be good for Texas, but we'll see

That won't be good for Texas if so

i had bush at 275yds
and young at 200yds

 

[Lestat]

Bush had 101 kick/punt return yards, 80 yards rushing, 94 yards receiving

Young had 200 yards rushing, and 267 passing.

And I checked all the major betting sites, here is the definition of all purpose yards:

Who will have the most all purpose yards in the Rose Bowl ?
Passing, Rushing, Receiving, and Returning Yards included. Players must play for action.

The odds were .50 for vince young only because he got BOTH passing and rushing yards.. otherwise there would have been no way for bush to even compete unless it was straight rushing vs rushing.

All purpose = ALL purpose... in 2001 the NCAA excluded FUMBLE return yards only.

Passing yards don't count as all-purpose yards, go fly a kite.

Tell that to my REAL bookie.

scroll to the BOTTOM here:

if passing yards didn't count the odds would have been different. It was not stated in the bet that passing yards didn't count, it specifically stated "ALL PURPOSE"
