McMurphy's Law: The Rush Is On

Filed under: , , , , ,



Urban Meyer has won two BCS national championships. In fact, he was the seventh coach to win a national title by his second season at a school. He's also coached a Heisman Trophy winner, a No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft and, perhaps, an occasional player that may have had some legal issues.

However, for all of his accomplishments, including a three-time selection as national coach of the year, there is one thing Meyer has not accomplished in his 10 seasons as a head coach: he's never coached a 1,000-yard rusher.

In two seasons each at Bowling Green and Utah and in his sixth season at Florida, Meyer hasn't had a 1,000-yard rusher. However, that isn't that uncommon in college football these days.

In fact as the spread offenses spread throughout the nation and passing offenses become more and more prevalent the 1,000-yard rusher - even with teams playing 13 or 14 games - is becoming an oddity.
