Today’s blog continues my in-depth look at my New and Improved Experience Chart. For 7 years I had listed an experience chart, which broke down the number of seniors, juniors, sophomores and freshmen each team had in the two deep and rated the teams experience level with a formula I devised. In 2009, I made the experience chart FIVE TIMES better.
Today I will look at the % of yards returning. I took all of the yards each QB threw for as well as all of the individual rushing yards and receiving yards for each team. I then took all of the returning yards from '11 for the percentage.

At the top of the chart is Boston College. They return 10 starters from last years offense (only lost 1 OL) including 6 of their top 7 rushers and top 4 receivers. The Eagles only lose RB Montel Harris who had 135 yds rushing and WR Ifeanyi Momah who had 171 yds receiving. They are followed closely by Kansas St who returns 8 starters on offense (only lost 3 OL) and returns their all-everything QB in Collin Klein (1,918 pass, 1,141 rush) along with RB John Hubert who had 970 rush yds. Other schools at the top of the list include: Utah (95.82%), Eastern Michigan (95.28%) and Troy (95.23%).
At the bottom of the list are five teams that lost OVER 75% of their yards gained from last year. Houston loses record-setting QB Case Keenum who threw for 5,631 yds last year along with RB’s Michael Hayes and Bryce Beall who combined for 1,068 rush along with their Top 3 WR’s in Patrick Edwards, Justin Johnson and Tyron Carrier who combined for an incredible 3,939 rec yds last year! Michigan St loses QB Kirk Cousins (3,316 yds pass) RB Baker (665 yds rush) along with their top 4 WR’s who combined for 2,799 yds last year! Colorado, Arizona and Miami, Fl were the other three teams to lose more than 75% of their yards from last year.
