    I guess you didn't look up to see that you have been running on teams with should you say not great defense aginst the run?
    Works both ways.
    You can also say the only top 20 D's aginst the run that you faced
    shut you down.

    I know it works both ways. We have only seen two teams with a rush defense worth writing about.

    Auburn has not faced a top rushing defense!

    Auburn gained 400 yards against Miss. State, the #100-ranked rushing defense in the country. In their games against rushing defenses ranked #50 to #85 and against a division II team, Auburn was average.

    In games against rushing defenses ranked above #20 (GT and USC) they rushed for 40 and 43 yards!

    LSU is ranked #1 against the rush, Auburn is going to find out the difference between #100 and #1 this Saturday.

    Here are the current rankings of the rush defenses of Auburns opponents...

    Southern Cal: #9 (Auburn rushed for 40)
    Georgia Tech: #19 (Auburn rushed for 40)
    Vanderbilt: #89 (Auburn rushed for 219)
    Western Ky: Division IAA N/A (Auburn rushed for 285)
    Tennessee: #50 (Auburn rushed for 264)
    Arkansas: #55 (Auburn rushed for 160)
    Miss. State: #100 (Auburn rushed for 405)

    You kind of get the point now WarEagle?

    All those stats don't mean you won't run for big yards, and it does
    not mean we will shut you down. That question will be answered
    Sat.night.
