Yeah I'd be interested to see a breakdown of the yards per run. LSU had over 30 attempts, one being the 50 harder. Take that out and you're looking at what 3 yards a run? Give or take. That's pretty solid if Knowles had cleaned up that run.
A lot has to do with their assignment. Gap free IIRC and they're free to anticipate and shoot a gap. Results in big stops and also gashes. That's why Jaquan and the safeties have such a big responsibility cleaning up.
