It's not a typo. Other than their FBS game, they have held the last 3 opponents to negative rushing yards.

I would say that holding Arizona State under 100 yards, is really even more impressive than holding those other teams to negative rushing yardage. I wonder how much of that is a result of getting lots of QB sacks, versus success against actual designed running plays? I like that the NFL counts yard lost from sacks against passing yardage, rather than rushing. It is really a more accurate way to measure a teams rush defense.

CJ Palmer is going to kick every Lumberjack in the face, then run away from them to the endzone.

Very true. I wonder how many times they ran it? What ASU's average per carry way. No matter how you look at it it is impressive.

In that game they ran the ball 23 times for a 4.1 average. On the season they have ran the ball 114 times for 356 yards and a 3.1 ypc average.

Longhorn you are a wealth of imformation.

ASU is not really known for their running backs but they are still a good FBS team. Its very impressed by NAU's run defence. We definitly need to get our offense running flawlessly before that game.

ASU's Keegan Herring is a very good running back.

He has been hurt this year and didn't play against NAU. Not meant as a slam, NAU's D has been surprising thus far.
