defensive rushing yards as offensive deal breaker

The pure runner and rushing focused running backs have a playstyle fit of "rushing yards per game" this is actually tied to the defensive rushing yards allowed per game or something else because one of my rebuilds is wyoming and a triple option with more than 4,000 yards rushing and one of my recruits is upset with the rushing yards per game as a pure running qb and says that the rushing yards per game is 17.
