Technicaly yes LSU rushed for more yards. Take away the yards gained by Jefferson on scrambles from pass plays and what do you have. Now look at the actual rushing attack from both teams and tell me which was more effective?

Jefferson's "scrambles", only some of which are actually scrambles and not planned runs, are a legitimate part of our offense when he's in the game. That's part of the added dimension he brings when we use him instead of Lee.

It would be like our saying that a lot of Bama's passing yardage was really just dump offs to Richardson in the flat and not really throws downfield against our secondary, so take away that passing yardage and our passing game was more effective.

Rushing yardage is rushing yardage, passing yardage is passing yardage, and, most importantly, points are points. Deal with it.
