Here’s a fun statistical anomaly:
ACC highest % of team’s scrim yds:
Cook #FSU, 35.1%
Mizzell #UVA, 30.3
Boyd #Pitt, 26
Yearby #Miami, 24.7
Ollison Pitt, 24.4
Ford #VT, 24.3— David Hale (@DavidHaleESPN) August 11, 2016
We all knew that Tyler Boyd was the receiving corps last season. So, I guess it shouldn’t be a shock that he was over a quarter of Pitt’s yardage — with Qadree Ollison getting nearly the other quarter.
As deep as Pitt’s running back situation is. As much as we will all cheer every time James Conner touches the ball. Pitt will need to throw the ball.
The No. 1 receiver position is set in Dontez Ford. Who is not the biggest or fastest receiver, but is the most consistent, toughest and reliable receiver on the roster. The lost spiritual successor to Derek Kinder.*
