    This is just false. Go back and look at Aeris and Fitz rushing numbers in those games. We got some yards towards the end when backups were playing on both sides, but we could not run the way we needed to when the game was on the line. Passing sucked and was a huge problem, but we couldn't run it either.

    I think Ole Miss is better then Florida, LSU is on road at Ole Miss like they were for the Florida game with young offensive line, Ole Miss has a real shot at this game.

    I covered this in a past post. Vs Auburn, only once did we run on 1st and 2nd down and find ourselves in 3rd and long. We passed our way to 3rd and long multiple times. Go look at the play by play. We ran the ball fine.

    Aeris and Fitz rushing ypc:
    LSU - 6.32
    UGA - 3.38
    Auburn - 3.75

    If you think those guys running for less than 4 ypc is "fine" I don't know what to tell you. Aeris was 2.18 ypc against UGA.

    Look, our passing has to get better, and until it does we should be very run heavy. I'm not arguing that. But acting like we ran the ball effectively in our two losses is just false. Did the anemic passing have something to do with the poor rushing performance? Absolutely. But guess what, the passing game was worse because we couldn't establish the run. Yes, it can be both, which is usually the case when you lose by 30+

    OM has zero defense. Florida plays defense. That OM offense has been terrible against decent teams and that defense has been horrible every game. They've got absolutely no defense. LSU is going to roll OM.

    Again, look at the Auburn play by play. How many times did we run into 3rd and long?

    Fitz was 13/33 passing. A 29.4 QBR. Yes, we ran the ball "fine", "fine" being establishing 3rd and short.

    My only point is that this team will never open up the run game by throwing the ball. It may open up the passing game by establishing the run. So RTGDFB. If they stop the run, we were going to lose anyway. Not so the other way around.

    ******* offense in the first half is 60/40 pass/run. In the second half it's 60/40 run/pass. Always has always will be.

    I hope you are correct because I want LSU to whip that ass.
