re: Fournette injury should instigate more passing

We had success running against bama in 2012,2014 and 2011.

---

2011

41 carries for 148 yards, and we scored 9 points with a game winning field goal.

3.6 ypc, with a run of 18 yards, and a run of 15 yards.

If you take out those two outliers, they averaged 2.95 ypc.

That's the lowest point total in an LSU game there's ever been in probably 15+ years.

2012

I dont know how you come to this conclusion. They had 49 carries for 139 yards. Take out the two outliers of 19 and 19 yards, and you've got 2.1 ypc, with the outliers is 2.8 ypc.

Interestingly enough, the only reason they were in the game is because Mett threw for 298 yards, and it took him 35 attempts...and we even had a future NFL starting RB on that team! Wow!

2014

3.3 ypc

55 attempts, 184 yards.

I would call that "average" at best, but definitely not "sucessful" as you put it. That's a really tough spin on your part.

183 yards in 2014 sucked right?

Yes, it did, when it takes you 55 carries, that sucks, also losing with that gameplan sucks.

Keep doing the same thing and expecting different results.....

Ypc in a game arent always indicative of running success.

Yes, actually they ARE. It's a great indicator of efficiency. You can run for 350 yards, but if it takes you 80 carries, it doesn't mean you are efficient.

It's about yards per play...
