======================
Other than 2021, the disparity in amount of carries is striking. Obviously, the resulting disparity in amount of rushing yards is striking. Last year they more than doubled our amount of carries and yards - they actually tripled our yards.
In 2022, this front 7 has been active, flying around the ball, and guys like Trey Lathan, Lee Kpogba and Hershey McLaurin have been sure tacklers.
This insanity vs. Texas Tech has got to stop. And, it's going to be up to our front 7, and our OL and backs. That is why I like our chances Saturday. I think we've upgraded significantly there. I think we'll frustrate Tech by keeping drives alive, and forcing them to convert 3rd & plus yardage.
