The difference in effectiveness is so large that the sample size really doesn't make much difference.  Hill could have averaged 3.5 yards per carry for 100 straight carries from the shotgun and still have a higher average per carry than when Dalton was under center.

And if you look at this years stats he is averaging 3.9 per carry from the shotgun formation (8 for 31) and only 2.8 per carry (33 for 92) when Dalton was under center.


So please explain what you have seen over Hill's career that would make you think he would dominate if Dalton was under center despite the fact that he has only averaged 4.3 (200 for 861) from that formation and 6.2 (62 for 386) from the shotgun formation.

For one, just from watching film you can see that he is better from a lone setback doing what I described- getting the ball going downhill.

Second, the fact that 85 yards of his 355 came on one run, meaning that his other runs were far less effective.

You've also failed to address the points of him having to wait for Dalton to hand him the ball and then trying to get momentum when the defense is already in place to stop him.
