Still 4th in the conference, which is all that matters. As it compares to Alabama, Tennessee is the best they've faced and they kept the ground game in check.

So let's see our opponents Rushing per game, against LSU, and the net difference shall we?
Team...vs LSU..Average...Difference
UW.......157....119.13....+37.87
Vandy...122....174.75....-52.75
ULL......109....155.29....-46.29
MSU.....151....203.13....-52.13
UGA......45.....108.00....-63
UF........193.....258.29....-65.29
Auburn..112....230.38....-118.38

On average LSU is holding their opponents 60 yards under their season average. Only 2 games did they not hold them 50+ yards BELOW their season average.

UW game (our first game) was the only one a team surpassed their average. Plain and simple, the defense is better than their numbers. Add in what others have mentioned about the lack of sacks, and we see the numbers we get.

Rushing defense is not something I am particularly worried about with this team.
