I like to use statistics for actual illumination as opposed to how a drunk uses a lamp (for support, he he).
Auburn's rush total against Arkansas was astounding. Take nothing away from running roughshod, but I do think context can qualify it just a bit.
Texas A/M rushed for 366 yards against Arky...114 against Alabama (their season avg is 251.4 and before the game it was 274.3)
Ole Miss rushed for 150 yards against Arky...101 against Alabama, and 23 of that came on one play on the first drive (season avg is 148.9)
TCU rushed for 195 yards against Arky in a loss...(they average 165.9 in their flag football conference)
Then you have to remember:
a) Auburn had an off week (and may as well have had one the week before)
b) Arky played Alabama and Ole Miss in consecutive games before Auburn showed up
My point being that while Auburn has a decent rushing game, it's equally clear that Arkansas cannot really defend the run anyway. The Hawgs rank 111th in rushing defense. Of course (playing Auburn advocate here), the objection would then be, "But that number is inflated because Auburn rushed for over 500 yards!"
But take that game away and Arkansas still gives up 175.8 yards per game rushing, which would still make them 79th in rush defense. And I would argue the numbers offset since La Tech got way less than their average in the opener.
We will be able to fill in the gaps with more data in upcoming weeks (LSU, Miss State and how Arky performs as well), but I don't think this suddenly turns Auburn into a massive threat (yet). No, we can't just show up and pound our chests, but unless the Aubies get another dimension, I don't think a one dimensional rush game is going to beat us.
Of course, I HAVE been wrong on that before (see 2013 Iron Bowl for the exception to all the rules).
