re: Texas Tech run defense (by the numbers)

You can spin it however you want. The fact is, LSU did not meet their season average against the worst run defense in the conference.

That is being held in check.

By this logic, we were held in check 8 out of 11 games (we failed to rush for 5.8 ypc in all but 4 games: Aub, Syr, EMU, USC)

Looked at another way, we failed to rush for our running average ypc in 7 games, including our last 6. And of course, in this scenario, MSU could not have held us in check because we didn't have a season average to compare to.

So, in either scenario, by the logic you have just revealed, the number 10 rushing team in the country was held in check running the ball the majority of the games.

Can you see why I don't think what you are saying makes sense? The baseline you are comparing to includes a minority of the games.

(I would include the chart but it looks like shite.)
