LSU played 1 more game and had 83 more carries for 48 more yards.
To be fair, because some teams only play 12 or 13 games, YPG is more accurate.

16. Alabama 13 games, 508 carries, 2788 yards, 214.46 YPG
22. LSU 14 games, 591 carries, 2836 yards, 202.57 YPG

if bama was good enough to win the West, they would have gotten an extra game. Dont penalize LSU for being so good.

To be fair, Bama did not have to attempt a running game against the Bama D last year either. Let alone trying to gain yards on the ground against them twice. That is not an easy task. I know our D was pretty damn good last year, but they werent quite as good as yall against the run. Either way both teams will run the ball at will against everyone but each other all year long.

No it's not. Total rushing yards is the tits and I'm not biased. IMO it should be SEC only for stats used because the teams wing compared didn't play the same ooc schedule. Comparing stats only matters if the opponents are the same. If Bama rushes for 180 against a top 10 defense and LSU runs for 220 against north Texas, te stats would say LSU ran the ball better than Bama but wouldn't show that Bama did their damage against a far better defense.
