Alabama is last in the conference in rushing yards per game (132 y/pg) and Missouri leads the SEC at 270 y/pg.

Wow Missou is averaging 47.5 rushing attempts per game. They have played some seriously bad competition as well. 5.7 ypc is pretty strong.
Bama's rushing stats are incredibly surprising. I didn't watch the game with Colorado State so I have nothing to go on but the box score, but Bama had only 66 yards on 21 carries. 38 of that came on just one run. McCarron was sacked 3 times for -7 yards so that puts them at 17 carries for 45 yards.
Against V-Tech, they had 96 yards on 38 carries. 47 of that came on two runs, a 27 yarder and a 20 yarder. McCarron was also sacked 4 times for -23 yards. So that's 34 carries for for 72 yards.
They ran all over A&M with 234 yards and 6.3 ypc but A&M gave up over 300 to Rice at 6.0 ypc and 240 to Sam Houston St. at 5.7 ypc. SMU runs the air raid so they only ran it 17 times but they averaged 5.3 ypc against A&M.
I'm sure Yeldon will have a Heisman performance against Ole Miss though, despite our #3 ranked rush defense (in the SEC)

Cooper certainly burned us last year, but he only has 6 catches through 4 games this year. Christion Jones seems to be doing the most damage.
Mizzou is alot better than the majority of people give them credit for. They are the forgotten team of the eastern division...
One down year with a ton of injuries and they are an afterthought despite the 63 wins the previous 7 seasons. They are middle of the pack in the east at worst...
