The most common personnel grouping in shotgun is 13, so the defense is typically playing with an extra DB and there's a little more space to work with. Compare that to under center where you may see some extra TE looks and three linebackers on the field it's a bit harder to run against. 

As for explosives being higher, I think that is a product of the varied looks you get from under center. You can attack the edges easier, for example. Edge runs produce a higher rate of big plays, but also lose yardage more often than a run up the middle. 

All this being said, it has just been strange to see so many people talking about how good Mixon is under center when there is virtually nothing to back it up. That isn't to say it's his fault, to be clear. That's not meant as a dog on him or anything.

OL stance is important. 3 point stance the better run blocking stance because they can convert more speed to power. 2 point stance the OL doesn't have to uncork before they kickslide and get on their anchor. You see more 3 point from undercenter and 2 point in shotgun. Now they do mix and like RPOs you will see the play side guard and possibly the tackle in a 3 point with the backside pair in a 2 point. 


Edit: And I think you meant 11 lol.
