Might wanna check those stats before you rant about them. Bama did blow LSU off the line each time they ran. The problem was that they only did it 22 times. GA only gave up 6 inches more per rush than LSU (7.4 yds vs 7.25 yds) and that's with being smashed in the mouth on run plays twice as many times (45 vs 22). If Bama had run as much against LSU they would have gained 450 instead of the 350 they did against GA.


25 for 166 yds. 51 yds came on two carries. So the other 23 carries were for 115. I realize those two carries count but average yds per carry can be deceiving.

3 of those rushes were AJ scrambles. RB's carried 22 times for 7.25 yds a carry. Yes, two of them were bigger runs but several of those against GA as well(72 yds on two carries off the top of my head). My point is that if had run as many times as they did against GA would have had more of those long runs and for even more yards cause front 7 would have been sucking wind like GA was in second half.

Even taking out the big runs and leaving in ajs scrambles would keep bama at 5 ypc in the game. There literally no argument to be made that alabama didn't have massive success running the ball on LSU.

As stated before, the problem was our oc went full tard for 2 games in a row this season.
