MU Per ESPN: OU has best offense in BigXII because they run the ball better?!?!?

Really? Through 5 games.....

MU team rushing stats
165 carries for 966 yds 6 ypc 15 TD's

OU team rushing stats
231 carries for 895 yds 4 ypc 16 TD's

MU's top rusher - Derrick Washington
67 carries 500 yards 7.5 ypc 10 TD's

OU's top rusher - DeMarco Murray
85 carries 431 yds 5.1 ypc 5 TD's

Not only that but MU passes more often than OU does and are a lot more effective scoring on ST return game and getting good field position, thus limiting the number of plays MU has to run in order to score points considering how well and efficient that offense is on a shorter field. Just because they run the ball more doesn't mean they are more effective doing so.

I guess they say that because OU has the better Oline?
