re: Your 5 takeaways from the Bama/OU Game...

tell me how many times our rb's were hit at the line of scrimmage and were able to break tackles for the yardage gained?

Last night? Very few. The line was getting great push. Every short yardage situation was converted with ease. As further evidence, no RB will break every tackle. If they were constantly getting hit there would me no gains and tackles for loss.

There were none.

i say that in terms of how gosh awful bad ou's run defense has been all year.

Offhand, how bad do you think it has been? Before you guess, let me answer. Run defense is the only thing they were decent against. As the link shows, they gave up 156 yards a game and 4.03 yards a carry. Bama obliterated those numbers- particularly the YPC.

There have been several games this year where run blocking was suspect. Last night was not one of them.
