Ole Miss and Florida front 7 are capable of stopping our run


Florida's defensive strength is their secondary. The SEC Rant is full of Florida posters who are terrified of the matchup Fournette and the LSU style present.

Ole Miss gave up 215 yards on the ground to Alabama (5.1 yards per attempt) and that is actually higher than Alabama's rushing yard per game average for the season.

We can run on every team on this schedule with the exception of Alabama, and the jury is still out there. It will be strength against strength.

here is the thing

even the best rushing attacks can be stopped with numbers

our complete inability to pass allows teams to improve their numbers

teams like UF and Ole Miss don't have to "stop" our rushing. they just have to slow it a bit and due to the nature of rushing, we will have issues. if our D continues to be suspect, we allow the opportunity to get behind. being a rushing team playing from behind is...not ideal

that's the issue with being so 1-sided, especially with that side being rushing. if we have a bad game and shite the bed in a half and are down 2 scores in the 2nd half, we're in some deep shite unless we can pass

If they don't respect our passing ability, both of those teams, as well as the other SEC teams except for maybe SC, will stack the box with 9 and will most definitely be able to stop, or at least limit, the run.
