Mark Ingram 136 780 5.754 (TD)10
Trent Richardson 92 634 6.965 (TD)5
Eddie Lacy 51 320 6.337 (TD)4

Demetrius Goode 24 104 4.3151
Do I need to run some numbers here, or is it pretty obvious. Let's throw Cams numbers out, just for the sake of argument. And I'll give them 5 RB's vs our 3 just to try and be fair, since they are in fact RBs. I could give them 6 and it still doesn't change the numbers that much.
Total yards minus Cam.
AU yds 1909 Carries - 270
UA yds 1946 Carries - 316
YDS/Carry minus Cam
AU - 7.0703
UA - 6.1582
YDS/GM minus Cam
AU - 173.54
UA - 176.91
YDS/GM - this one includes CN and is the team numbers.
AU - 307.9
UA - 184.9
So they are the better rushing team except for yards/carry as long as we don't include CNs numbers. And for the record, I was being very generous giving them 5 RBs, that flipped every stat but one.
Well I have news for you, despite your media campaign against us, Cams playing.
What really separates us is our O-Line, but please go blindly into the night...
Please.
We're coming!
ERR SORRY. I forgot Alabama fans dont' like facts. If it makes you feel better, an unnamed source proclaimed that Ingram really has 2,000 rushing yards this year already and is the best running back this country has ever seen.
You left out the rush defense stats.. Considering those normally correlate pretty well with PASS defense. Considering the opposing team has to do one or the other. Sad thing is that the yards per play stats allowed by the defense is pretty similar. HMMM.. Our quick strike offensive allowing other teams ALOT more plays than most team have anything to do with that? I JUST MIGHT THINK SO BOO BOO. Here let me show you those rushing stats:
11. Auburn 11 356 1227 3.45 15 1 11.55
22. Alabama 11 366 1372 3.75 5 1 24.73
Would you like to me to get into sacks or tackles for a loss? No. You better hope that terrible offensive line of yours can keep our defense away long enough for "Hold On To The Ball Too Long" McElroy to be able to get a pass off to Mini Maze and Drop The Easy Catch But I still got a free Escalade Jones.
wow..beat us in the biggest disaster year Auburn has seen in the past 20 years.. I'm impressed beyond words. How about the 6 previous scoreboards before that one? That coach doesn't seem to be running our sidelines right now, is he? We didn't have a offensive coordinator then, did we? Our quarterback wasn't 6'6 250 with a gun for a arm, was he? That scoreboard wont help you're slow linebackers tackle Cam Newton this weekend, as much as you'd hope it would.
