You can't take out the long run. That's why it's an average. You pound away and then break one. You don't get 200 or 300 yards rushing by only getting 5 and 6 yard runs the entire game.

Ztiger87- you are right, I should have taken sacks and kneeldowns out. But I think runs by FB should be included. My reason for taking out the one long run is because it is an "outlier"- not representative of the other runs in the game. My bottom line is this: 1) Miles tries to pound the ball too much instead of running out of a 3 or 4 WR set and 2)Many LSU fans think we have a dominant running game and we really don't. Last year we ranked 50th in the FBS in average rushing yards per game(around 170). I have been unable to check previous years stats but I don't think they are much better. Our average yards per carry was around 4.2 - ranked around 60th or so. We ranked 92nd in average passing yards per game. Maybe I am being greedy, but if we can have a perennial Top 10 or Top 15 defense almost every year, can't we have an offense that ranks in the Top 25? You can play tough D AND score. Why not?
