you mean in a pointless bowl game against a team who went to shite after the halfway mark? Sure, you can have that one




Does this somehow make them not the 12th best rush defense in the country?

The press has blurred the lines between the best yardage produces and best backs. A lot of those RBs are a product of the Offense they are in and the QB they play with. There is nobody on that list that can take over a game by himself. The closes I have seen that from a current back was when Chubb was healthy.

Go take a look at that vaunted UL defense's game log and you will understand why I don't care. Cmon man.... louisville in a shitty bowl game is what you hang your hat on with Guice? My point rests.

We could always talk about his 9 carries for 117 yards for 13 yards per carry against your team if you prefer.

Yes that would be game 2 where he gashed you for 62 yards on just 3 carries. Game 1 he had 6 carries for 55 yards.

If we do math that adds up to 9 carries for 117 yards, or 13 yards per carry.

so you gotta take 2 games to make a respectable number?

how was that Auburn defense in 2015? His 62 yards last year consisted of 1 52 yard run.... wow that guy is impressive

698 yards on 256 carries in the last 7 games. Their defense was better late than it was early.

Maybe you should have actually looked at the game log. You wouldn't look like a retard.

I'd say 3 carries for 62 yards looks pretty good on it's own, too.

Agreed, 9 carries for 117 yards is pretty impressive. Especially 52 yard runs. Let's even take out that 52 yard run. 8 carries for 65 yards which is 8.1 yards per carry.

Yes, most would consider that pretty good.

ok, so this guy is great because he posted 65 yards in two games? Hmmm, not following.

What does this have to do with you saying they got worse in the 2nd half of the season?

You need to figure out what you're trying to argue.

No, he's great because he ran for 1,387 yards on just 183 carries which is 7.6 yards per rush last season and his first 2 seasons is a combined 234 carries for 1,823 yards which is 7.8 yards per rush.

You're the one that wanted to nitpick games, so I posted what he's done against your team, which is actually well above his average. So congrats

he had 65 against AU. That's above his avg?

He has posted big games against shite opponents which inflate his stats.

their team as a whole did get worse.

the fact their defense posted better lines against bad competition doesn't mean they were any better. They played very bad teams the second half.

Bama completely shut down 4 of those players last year, not really impressed by any of them except Bo.

I'm assuming you believe Pettway is going to have an even bigger "crash", right? I mean, he did have worse numbers against the common opponents and no big games against any team with a pulse.
