I don't have the exact percentage-but heard it discussed on an ND podcast and the numbers were not good at all.

Dexter Williams and his ability to hit the home run masked what has been typical of the Kelly era. The running game after 9 years is still not very good and way too many run plays go for little or nothing(or less).

I think the design and scheme contribute more to that than the personnel, or even the OL coaching. As long as Kelly is coaching, I have resigned myself to the fact the run game for ND will never really be a strength when it counts.
