So what does this tell us? Well for one, our average per rush was identical to our opponents', so why not try it more? We lost in the time of possession, even though we did outscore our opponents by 5 points per game. Those extra six carries per game could have kept our D off the field. Interestingly, we scored more touchdowns on the ground.
I think Cutcliffe carried the Ole Miss frame of mind back to UT and didn't show our O-line enough confidence. The UCLA game should tell us a lot about Clawson's opinion of the hogs.
Just trying to beat a dead horse.
