Bama's Rush Defense overrated

stats from those games?

I think they're very good. However you're point is well-taken in that they've played one top 20 rushing offense while LSU has played the 2nd, 8th and 14th rushing offenses, all 3 of which came prior to their current defensive starting lineup. LSU's typical 7 or 8 man run-blocking scheme is settling in and 'Bama will have to creep their safeties up to slow them down IMO. This plays into the one area of the passing game the Tigers excel in; the deep routes. Should be an interesting chess match.

They have played one good rushing team in Arkansas this season.

And Arkansas threw the ball 40 times against Alabama. Arkansas' RB, Jonathan Williams, averaged 4.2 yards per carry and had a TD (he had 20 carries).

LSU isn't going to throw the ball 40 times. No way. Alabama better be ready. It's coming right at them.

LSU's avg. rushing offense in 5 SEC games:
45.5 carries

We have played the #8(AU) #14(MissST) #36(UF) #81(OM) #73(UK) rushing offenses. We've played #22(UF) #24(MissST) #26(AU) #33(OM) #94(UK) rushing defense.

Bama has played the #36(UF)#17(Ark) #80(A&M) #81(OM) #100(UT) rushing offenses. They've played #22(UF) #33(OM) #36(Ark) #86(A&M) #76(UT) rushing defenses.

We will not run between the tackles on Bama. they can be had on the corners.
