When it comes to Indiana State senior running back Shakir Bell, the number that usually comes to mind regarding his value to the Sycamores is measured in the thousands.
As in the 1,475 rushing yards he amassed in 2012. Or the career-high and school record 1,670 he gained in 2011. He has 3,794 career rushing yards and needs just 541 yards to break Vincent Allen’s school rushing record.
But to determine the value of Bell — and the conundrum of ISU’s offense in 2012 — one must aim for a much lower number.
Think 40.5 percent.
