So not a foregone conclusion that LSU runs all over Alabama.


CAR YDS AVG TD LONG

2014
56 183 3.3 0 15

2013
31 43 1.4 1 13

2012
49 139 2.8 1 19

Mulligan
27 39 1.4 0 18

GOTC
41 148 3.6 0 18


Leonard Fournette can you change that?

My god, we were more pitiful than I thought in 2013. I guess we only kept it close for so long because of Mett, OBJ and Landry.

Those stats are a bit surprising. Y'all have a different cat back their this year, though.

Um yes.

LSU hasn't had the type of offense like they do right now.

#1 rushing team in the SEC and #2 total offense in the SEC..

those numbers include sacks (i only checked 2013 to be honest)

thats not an accurate depiction of how well we run the ball.

We had some big runs in 2012, though. Obviously our averages haven't been good, but we've had some decent success in the running game at times against Alabama.

And if those numbers included sacks, then that heavily skews 2013, because Mett got sacked a zillion times it felt like. I bet you are yards per carry doubles if you take his sack yardage out.

The o line was pathetic

I'm surprised Mett didn't ask his mom to get him coloring books for Christmas after that game

could have, should have, would have....i know, but with those rushing efforts, LSU was in position to win 3 of those games. It looks like as long as we rush for 2.8 a carry, we can win.

Fwiw, sacks are counted against your rushing totals in college football, so I'm sure that had a lot to do with the yardage, particularly in 2013.

ETA: I didn't read the second page before posting this, but I see it has been covered.

After accounting for sacks, the yardage would look like this

2011 - 40/151, 3.78 YPA
2011 - 23/65, 2.83 YPA
2012 - 46/161, 3.50 YPA
2013 - 27/75, 2.78 YPA
2014 - 54/196, 3.63 YPA

Those are still pretty rough averages, but not nearly as dismal as they look with the sacks included. Additionally, LSU is averaging over 1.5 more yards per attempt this year they they did in their best year during that stretch, so this is obviously a much more prolific rushing offense than previous years.

Not by himself he can't.

(But the best OL in the SEC can help him out there)
