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.
