The most diversified offense in college football in the past decade belonged to - drum roll, please - Oregon State.
The Beavers had eight 1,000-yard rushers, six 3,000-yard passers and seven 1,000-yard receivers. That gives them a Rivals.com-based "diversification quotient" of 21. How did we come up with the 21? Easy - we simply added the number of 1,000-yard rushers, 3,000-yard passers and 1,000-yard receivers.
Hawaii actually had a higher quotient (22), but the Warriors had no 1,000-yard rushers; instead, all their points came because of 13 1,000-yard receivers and nine 3,000-yard passers. Texas Tech had the third-highest quotient at 20, but, again, the Red Raiders scored in just two categories. As with Hawaii, Tech had no 1,000-yard rushers. Instead, it was all via the air (10 3,000-yard passers and 10 1,000-yard receivers).
The other schools in the top five were Texas (18) and Oklahoma (17), which each scored in all the categories.
