I don't think you're giving enough credit to our defense. They're not upper echelon yet but they aren't a slouch at stopping the run. You rushed for 166 on LSU we rushed for 134.

we rushed for 166 yards at almost 7 ypc though. for the life of me i cant figure out why we were not running it more. our backs only had 22 attempts between them. you guys averaged 3.5 ypc. LSU had 5 ypc against you, they had 2.8 ypc against us. this game really could not have worked out better for us. we beat a top 5 team, yet saban still gets the motivational benefit of almost losing and of having played like shite.
