Probably not. Guess what. 5.7 ypc. LSU wins.

If we had gotten away from running Fournette it would have been the most idiotic shite I've ever seen.



This is simpleton logic only looking at one face value stat and not diving deeper.

We didnt score a single point on the final 4 drives of the game. Not 1. What did we do the final 4 drives of the game?

18 runs
4 passes

2 of those 4 passes were essentially run plays (WR screen to Dural)...so basically 20 run plays to 2 actual pass plays


You hint at 5.7 "ypc"

But in those 20 run plays we had 11, yes, ELEVEN go for 3 yards or less. that's pretty unproductive. 1 5 yard gain was on a 3rd and 16 too...meaningless.

How much clock did we eat? 4 drives, 22 plays. That's a LOT of clock. Defense is relatively thin and tired. You have an elite RB and a good run blocking OL.

Honestly, we probably won because we committed to the run. If a drive had stalled out, say on a 3rd and 5 pass.. MSU doesn't have to play the clock and kick a long FG.
