Yards Per Carry Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Yards Per Carry is:

\[ YPC = \frac{TY}{C} \]

Where:

\(YPC\) is the Yards Per Carry
\(TY\) is the total yards gained
\(C\) is the number of carries

What is Yards Per Carry?

Yards per carry (YPC) is a statistic in football that measures the average number of yards gained per rushing attempt by a running back or other ball carrier. It is a key indicator of a player’s efficiency and effectiveness in the running game. A higher YPC value typically indicates a more successful and productive running back.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Yards Gained (TY) = 120
Number of Carries (C) = 20

Using the formula:

\[ YPC = \frac{120}{20} = 6.00 \]

The Yards Per Carry (YPC) is 6.00.
