How LSU's Rushing Offense Has Skewed Rushing Defensive Statistics

Just about every angle of this game has been discussed ad nauseum, but I keep reading about how LSU has not faced any decent rushing defenses thus far, so I decided to take a look at how the game result for each opponent has affected their rushing defense average.

I took out the amount of yards LSU gained on the ground vs each opponent, so we could get a true number for what each defense would be ranked, had LSU not played them.

LSU caused Florida to go from 7th to 15th.
Syracuse went from 40th to 58th.
Mississippi State went from 39th to 61st.
Auburn from 63rd to 99th.
South Carolina from 97th to 112th.

Removing each game with LSU as an opponent:
Florida has allowed 661 total yards for an average of 94.42 a game.
Syracuse has allowed 989 total yards for an average of 141.2 a game.
Moo State has allowed 978 total yards for an average of 139.7 yards per game.
South Carolina has allowed 1326 total yards for an average of 189.4 yards per game.
Auburn has allowed 1144 total yards for an average of 163.4 yards a game.

This seems to be a more accurate representation of the caliber of defense LSU has played up to this point.
