Bama's Rush Defense overrated

They have played one good rushing team in Arkansas this season.
Arkansas: 19th nationally in Rushing Yards Per Game
Florida: 38th
A&M: 82nd
Ole Miss: 83rd
Tenn: 103rd
LSU is currently 26th nationally with 226 rushing yards per game.

That was their offensive numbers. I'll edit if that was confusing.

There's no way those last two stats you threw out are correct. As in its impossible. We have played 8 games, one being a neutral site.

Well the thread was about the defense and then you list offensive stats, yes that's confusing

'Away from home' make you feel better?

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.

because they held arkansas to 83 rushing yards, proving your theory wrong.

Oh I don't think they are pushovers by any means. I just don't believe they are the second best rushing defense in the country.

They have played one really good rushing team (but not good team overall) and won 14-13. Yes, the same team that hasn't won an SEC game in 2 years.
I know Bama is improved, just like we are. I think it's hilarious that they are using a home blowout of a team that had given up (aTm) and beat a bad UTk team on the road. Hell, they let UTk back in it.
It's funny how after the OM loss and Arky scare that they were rebuilding and having 2-3 losses. Now they are a NC level team?

Not trying to start an argument here, but who would you rank ahead of them at stopping the run? They are far and away the heaviest front 7 in the country, that usually translates to a good run defense because they're hard to move.

Don't look too much into the home vs away stats. Cupcake games are always at home, so that throws the averages off.

That doesn't prove anything wrong. I said they played one good rushing team this year which is why their defensive ranking is so high (2nd in the country).

Question...Which offense that Bama has played is the closest to the same offense LSU runs? And how did that offense do running the ball?

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.

Don't come over here baiting or you're gonna have a bad time.
