I don't know why because I don't give a shite about the NFL.

Because they go to a weaker OL when they make it to the NFL, duh

I think it's because their O-lines have traditionally been fantastic opening up giant holes. And also traditionally Bama has big power backs who usually have food straight line speed. In the NFL a lot of times you have have to find much smaller holes and make something out of nothing which takes a lot of getting used to.

It also takes more natural talent.

A lot o the back that come out of Bama are big, North\South type runners who are great at the college level but at the Pro level you have to have some juke and jive. Not too much juke as the game is that much faster but some. Also, Bama backs are used to dominating O lines that open holes for them. Pro D lines are much better and a successful run is 4 yards vs 8 or 9.

How does the NFL help LSU stop the o-5 streak?

Clearly it's because of all the 9 man fronts the NFL teams run

Mark Ingram has only rushed for over 1,000 yards once in his entire career since high school.

- Eddie Lacy was averaging 72 YPG and 5.1 YPC before his injury. Having a very good year.
- Ingram plays on a terrible team that gets behind and has to throw every down (Brees is averaging 46 passes per game, 1st in the NFL). He's a league average back averaging 58 YPG and 3.9 YPC. He's in a terrible system for a RB and has been fine.
- D. Henry is a backup to the #4 rusher in the NFL. He averages 4.4 YPC and about 7-8 touches per game. My guess is the 2nd half he will start spelling Murray a little more. He's been fine.
- K. Drake is one of 3-4 backs in Miami, is averaging 4.5 YPC and 3-4 touches per game. About what you'd expect out of flex guy like him in his first year in a place with like 8 running backs.
- I have no idea what is going on with Yeldon in Jacksonville.

How shameful considering Murray is the 3rd best RB in the league right now.

Eddie was averaging 5.1 YPC. He was having a really good year.

He was losing snaps to James Starks. Let that settle in for a second. James fricking Starks.
