It’s pretty clear Mississippi State does not have a running game in 2015. Well, at least from the running backs anyway who are averaging just 76 yards per game among Brandon Holloway, Ashton Shumpert, Dontavian Lee and Aeries Williams. Overall, the Bulldogs rank 11th in the SEC at a hair under 150 yards per game on the ground.
That’s not good news when facing Alabama. The Tide stuff even the best running teams. They suffocate you by imposing their will and eventually to fall right into their hands by making a mistake. Kirby Smart’s defenses only give up 100 yards rushing few times a year.
