A few weeks ago, I completed a study detailing�Emmitt Smith’s chances of breaking college football’s all-time rushing record�(had he stayed in school). �Using statistical projections and the normal distribution, I concluded Smith had a 3-5 percent chance of breaking Tony Dorsett’s then all-time rushing record (and just a 0.1 chance of still�being college’s all-time leading rusher).For starters, the method by which running backs are employed has altered drastically even since Smith’s career. �Gone are the days of workhorse backs. �Today, it’s all about two and three-running back rotations. �There’s simply no way for a running back to approach Smith’s record with only 225 carries a season.
