LSU finished fourth in the SEC in rush "D". Who cares about YPA?
You have teams that finished #9 and #11 in conference in rush "D" ranked as the #2 and #3 DL. How is that possible? If their Dline was that good they should have finished a little higher in that stat.
I think returning starters/two deep and production on the field should carry a lot more weight than YPA given up.
You have bama #1 DL yet, they lose three of their top six players production wise. Lose over 120 tackles and 17 TFL.
LSU returns their entire two deep, 174 tackles, 27 sacks and 45+ TFL.
What does the tide return to justify being the #1 DLin the SEC? Remember though when you lose two all american Dlinemen what that Dline did as a whole last year doesn't really count.
