Knight had 67 rushes, 134 passes (33% rushes)
Bell had 75 rushes, 233 passes (24% rushes)
Thompson had 4 rushes, 13 passes (24% rushes)
Mariotta had 125 rushes and 408 passes (23% rushes)
Now, I'm not arguing Heupel doesn't have issues that warrant him being replaced. I just think that if he goes you have to take Norvell with him. For me, Heupel's primary issue is his propensity to go 3 and out way too often in a game. The ballooning of that stat under his OCship has cost us more losses than I wish to contemplate.
