Colorado has not allowed a 100-yard rusher this season.

UCF leads the nation in rushing offense. The Knights have the nation's 5th-ranked rushing defense.

The latter statistic is misleading, however, for two reasons: (1) UCF opponents are averaging 2.58 yards per carry, which is really, really good, but not necessarily "elite," and (2) the UCF defense has faced only 76 rushing attempts--third lowest nationally--because NOBODY UCF FACES RUNS THE DAMN BALL!

Point in case: Colorado ranks 129 out of 134 teams in rushing offense, averaging 68.8 yards per game on just 26.5 rushing attempts per game.

In fact, Utah (29), Cincinnati (33), Arizona State (34), and West Virginia (50) are the only top 50 rushing offenses on UCF's schedule.

So you’re saying 30% of the teams we face have a top 50 rushing attack?

But they certainly give up over 3 yrds a carry to FCS, 4.3 a rush to Nebraska, 4.2 to Col. St. 149 yrd Nebraska ran on them, 131 given up to Col. St. You said it, nobody runs as much as UCF's 1900s offense, so giving up 4+ yards a carry to non-Harvey RB, seems like a good day for UCF.
