Is your line really dominate against the run? We know they were last year, but so far this year the most prolific rushing team you have faced is A&M. Who has vastly improved in the run game, but Arkansas isn't the rushing team they once were, UT Hurd has had an unimpressive rushing season thus far and Kamara got hurt after scoring a td on bama, and Ole Miss doesn't believe in the run.

I'm very interested in seeing if this rush defense is as elite as the Bama 15' rush defense.

Statistically we are #1 in the country. You can't be better than #1. I rewatched last years game and its not like Harris didn't try throwing it. He threw it 19 times. Etling is not a super QB that will open up your ground game. I don't see him doing much better.

2015 - 2.43 yards per carry allowed
2016 - 2.18 yards per carry allowed

You're right that we don't know the full story on them yet, but clearly our rush defense is looking good so far. It will be a test for both teams.
