re: WR Touches - Stat During Alabama Game

Do you not think we are running the ball a little better atleast? It's nice when they can't exactly just put 8 in the box because gage/dillion/chark will hit the sweep quickly

Not really. We are just running more with wr's. Teams are still putting 8 in the box that's why the jet sweep is successful the times it does work. We ran for 2,797 yards last year in 12 games at 233 per game. This year through 9 games we've run for 1,881 at 209 per game.

Is that 120 touches for the whole 2016 season vs 110 touches this season up till now? If so, I'd expect this season's stats to end up in the neighborhood of 150 touches

It's up until this point which is what the OP referred to twice. But yea if they maintain the same amount of touches it should end up around 150 after the bowl game. Also don't forget LSU only played 12 games total last year because of cancellation week 1. So 120 touches averaging 10 per game and 89% of them were passes. This year so far it's 110 total averaging 12 a game but only 45% are from catching passes.
