And what exactly do these stats have to do with these players and this game ?
Probably has a lot to do with our opponent Saturday and their ability to put the Anaconda squeeze on our backs.
LSU has to get to the edge

With the right plays at the right times with the right personnel, this can work.
If you look back at the Texas A&M-Alabama game, I think A&M had some major flaws in their offensive game plan related to this approach. They gave Christian Kirk one carry on a jet sweep that resulted in an 11-yard gain. I think they should have utilized Kirk more on plays like that because he has the speed and quickness to take advantage of Alabama's vulnerabilities in the run game.
A&M had Tra Carson running outside the tackles on multiple runs. Generally, that's not a good idea. Carson, a big back at 240, does not have the speed and quickness to be consistently effective on those types of plays. He averaged 3.5 YPC. His longest run in the game was 6 yards.
In my view, A&M should have utilized Kirk and Speedy Noil (if Speedy was healthy enough to the point where he could really go at high gear) more in the run game to stretch Alabama's D horizontally.
Also, I think they should have played their freshman QB Kyler Murray more in that game. He would have had a good chance to give the running game a boost on designed runs and scrambles.
Even if A&M would have done these things, I think they probably still would have lost the game. But, I think their O would have been much more effective with these types of adjustments. Also, if A&M would have popped a few outside run plays, that likely would've loosened the Alabama D enough to the point where Carson could have found more success between the tackles. Probably not much, but he may have at least been able to be above 4 YPC with this scenario.
