LSU has not seen a rushing team!

LSU opponents and their national ranking in rushing.

1. UL Monroe #81

2. Arizona #95

3. Western Illinois #51 (in 1AA!)

4. Georgia #63

5. Mississippi State #78

6. Florida #62

7. South Carolina #51

8. Auburn #8

This will be a big factor! We will run all over you!

War Eagle

 

run over this... It will exciting to watch what will happen. You never know how things will go...

 

#1 run defense

that's great, you obviously really did your homework on this...
you seem to be overlooking the fact that auburn has not faced a run defense like LSU - #4 total defense , #1 run defense

 

Great Game

I t will be a great game! All the hype from both sides is great.
I won't sleep tonight!

 

South Carolina had as much running success against UT that Auburn did. I'm not scared of Auburn.

 

Almost as much success-We won!

 

Ever consider the possibility that the reason those teams LSU has played rank low in rushing is BECAUSE they played LSU? If you want to make an impression, show me each of those teams' rushing totals game-by-game. I'll bet you that in most, if not all of their games, they had much more success rushing than against LSU.

Changes perspective, don't it? :geaux:

 

One Game against LSU is not going to make you #81 in the nation. That comes from having a crappy run game! Auburn's run game is far better than anything you have seen. After this game we are not going to sink to #75 in rushing!

 

Actually, I already did that earlier. The results are in this thread:
