Virginia Tech RB David Wilson's 2010 Success Rates in Context

This post was originally a lot longer. But Google Chrome failed while hitting publish and it never autosaved. I don't feel like rewriting it in it's entirety.

A reader e-mailed me and said the David Wilson third-down success rates I published Monday lacked context. Context comes after the jump.

Here are third- and fourth-down success rates for Evans, Williams and Wilson in 2010.

RB Att Succ Pct
Darren Evans 2010 14 10 0.714
Ryan Williams 2010 8 5 0.625
David Wilson 2010 15 7 0.467
Total 37 22 0.595

Here are the third- and fourth-down success rates for all three during their freshman seasons.

RB Att Succ Pct
Darren Evans 2008 36 20 0.556
Ryan Williams 2009 29 19 0.655

Total 81 45 0.556

Six-paragraph conclusion went here. Instead, here's Hit Em Up. It's not safe for work, obvs.
