The sportscasters delight in mentioning (every time that
Dallas plays at home) that the Cowboy's record when 
Tony Dorsett gains 100 (+) yards at home is something
like 33-1.

My question to the net is:

      What is the overall record of games when a team has a 
      running back gain 100 yards.  My guess is that it
      would be pretty good.

I have reasons for my guess.
     First, for a team to let the running game go that long,
     they have to be in the game.  If they are
     2 touchdowns down in the first half, they are not
     going to let their star runner run.  They need points.
     Second, if a team has someone who is gaining 100 yards,
     then they are probably dominating the line of scrimmage.
     Therefore, they have a pretty good chance of winning.

Does anyone have the statistics on this?
Does anyone have any guesses?
