Aggy was giving up 205 per game and 5.1 per carry. They held the best rushing attack in the conference to 245 yards and 5.1 per carry.

They held LSU in check.




No, they did not. They had a weak rushing defense, which was exploited by a top 10 rushing offense. We rushed for our season average, which was top 10. In what world would you say letting someone do what they have done consistently during the season be held in check?

Again, they allowed 20% more than their already poor average. That is not holding anything in check, and was in fact the reason they lost the game.

Giving up your season average YPC is the exact opposite of being exploited, actually.
