San Diego Chemistry Dept Lines: 24 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? GINO
