The best running team is not the team with the most yards or yards per run.
Running the football on 1st and 2nd down racks up meaningless stats.
Money downs are 3rd and/or goalline.
Can a team efficiently move the chains on 3rd and 2. Or are they going to go to the air a lot (UGA went to the air a lot in 2013).
Can a team punch it in from the redzone on the ground? Or will they go to the air?
Crucial games are won and lost in these scenarios in the SEC.
The rushing TDs is the number that I would focus upon unless you want to dig deep into number of third down rushing attempts versus the number of third down rushing conversions per back.

Yards on 1st and 2nd down are meaningless, huh?
Ok. I get what you are trying to say. Can you run when the other team knows you are running. Look at the Ole Miss game last year. I think we held the ball for the last 8 or so minutes and that was Murphy doing most of that.
Mizzou will run the ball quite well again. Two very good backs and an experienced OL with the best Center in the East. Not to mention Mauk is by far the biggest threat with his feet in the division.
If I have any worries on offense they would be playmakers on the outside and Mauk improving his accuracy. The ground game should be quite good.

Sheesh .... are you a mizxourite alter? The only posts I've ever seen that are that dumb are usually from mizzourites.
Ever heard of "3rd and short?" How about "2nd and short?"
Care to rephrase or restate your case before the whole thing gets blown-up?
