Georgia Junior Running Back Todd Gurley amassed 293 All-Purpose Yards* and 4 total TD (a school record) against Clemson on Saturday. As broken down below, Gurley had:

198 yards rushing, 3 TD

100 yard kickoff return, TD

-5 yards in TFL**

Now, to put this in perspective, Clemson had 102 yards rushing as a team combined, plus 108 yards on kickoff returns combined for the entirety of the game. That's 210 yards and 3 TD's total, or 83 yards and a TD less than Gurley's total by himself.

Gurley for Heisman. GO DAWGS.

*All-Purpose Yards are how many yards in a football game a player on offense amasses rushing, passing, returning punts, or returning kickoffs during a game. The same goes for a defensive player who returns interceptions or fumble recoveries.

**TFL or Tackles for Loss, is a statistic in a football game which is measured when an offensive player (QB, RB, WR, TE, FB etc) is tackled by the opposing team defense behind the line of scrimmage while attempting to advance to the goal. The total amount of yardage lost behind the line of scrimmage is subtracted from his and the team's offensive totals.

....... Thanks! It is rare that someone stops and explains something so clearly in sports.
