I'm no expert on Pitt football and I understand that different types of players project differently to the next level, so I want to be careful not to draw any major conclusions from these numbers, but I thought they're worth noting:
LeSean McCoy at Pitt:
| Year | Att | Yards | Avg | TD | Rec | Yards | Avg | TD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2007 | 276 | 1328 | 4.8 | 14 | 33 | 244 | 7.4 | 1 |
| 2008 | 308 | 1488 | 4.8 | 21 | 32 | 305 | 9.5 | 0 |
| Total | 584 | 2816 | 4.8 | 35 | 65 | 549 | 8.4 | 1 |
Then Dion Lewis took over:
| Year | Att | Yards | Avg | TD | Rec | Yards | Avg | TD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2009 | 325 | 1799 | 5.5 | 17 | 25 | 189 | 7.6 | 1 |
| 2010 | 219 | 1061 | 4.8 | 13 | 27 | 216 | 8 | 0 |
| Total | 544 | 2860 | 5.3 | 30 | 52 | 405 | 7.8 | 1 |
