Hooks had a couple decent games, LSU being one

eh, i mean i guess. he had a sack on LSU's first drive of the game. Outside that, he had one tackle the rest of the game, that tackle being on a QB sneak by Jennings that went for a 1st down. If you take out Mettenberger's sack yardage, LSU rushed for 144 yards on 32 carries for a 4.5 average. LSU just went away from the run at their own detriment. I honestly think that was a huge mistake. Hill and Hilliard were both running the ball well that game. LSU running backs had 90 yards on 17 carries in the first half (5.3 ypc), and that included one possession where Mett threw a pick on the first play, and the LSU defense being on the field 18 minutes of the first half. LSU called 7 fewer running plays than their season average and 8 more passes than their season average.

I guess my overall point is that, outside 2 first quarter sack, it's not like the Ole Miss line, Hooks in particular, made a really noticeable push the entire game. That game was lost by way of LSU turning the ball over and the LSU secondary being god awful the entire game.
