How Alabama win over LSU impacted national rankings

The 24 points easily eclipsed last season's output against LSU, but the other offensive numbers were down.

The Crimson Tide finished with 299 yards after gaining 323 in the 10-0 win in Baton Rouge a year ago. The 116 rushing yards Saturday night was a season low and had an impact on Alabama's national stat ranking.

The season rushing average dipped 20.4 yards to 278.4 after the ninth game of the season. It pushed Alabama to No. 9 after having the seventh-best run offense after the Tennessee game. The total offense average also slid 22.4 yards from No.
