re: Etling vs. Hurts season passing stats

Yep, Bama has an average at best passing game, but the difference is Hurts is a true dual threat. He averages almost 7 yards a carry and their starting RB averages 8.6 ypc. Bama has 2 less rushing TDs (28) in 8 games this year, than we had in 12 games last year. As a matter of fact, they only have 5 less than they did in almost twice the games last year. They are 9th in rushing TDs, 7th in rushing yardage per game, and 3rd in rushing average. We are 47th in rush defense, tied for 55th in rush TDs given up, and 71st in rush average given up.

Bama is going to run all over us, and with our crap pass offense and their strong defense, the time of possession is going to be stupidly in the favor of Bama.
