In LSU’s 10-7 home win over then-#3 Ole Miss on Saturday in Baton Rouge, the Tigers used an old-fashioned rushing attack to wear down the Rebels. The victors (ranked #24 in the AP poll heading into the game) ran the ball 55 times for 264 yards, often taking it right up the middle. When a team piles up that much real estate, and averages 4.8 yards per carry, they are doing something right.
Two aspects of LSU’s ground attack proved most impressive. First, they used a variety of runs between the tackles, mixing up handoffs through the interior (including fullback carries) and stretches to the outside with deceptive zone-read options and inside pitches. Personnel-wise, they used their big, talented offensive line to lead the way and rotated their running backs frequently.
