Alabama Crimson Tides Running Game: A Historical StruggleThe Alabama Crimson Tide, known for their powerful ground attack, is currently facing an unprecedented challenge in college football. Despite being a national championship contender, theyre averaging just 3.6 yards per carry and 111.9 rushing yards per game, numbers that are even lower than their 2007 team. This lack of a strong run game is particularly unusual for a championship contender, as most national champions in the twenty-first century have averaged well over 150 rushing yards per game and 5 yards per carry. The team has only one run of 30 yards or more this season, a stark contrast to last years performance. Quarterback Ty Simpson is leading the team in forced missed tackles as a runner, highlighting the struggles of the running backs. Alabama is now relying heavily on its passing game, with Ty Simpson performing at a Heisman Trophy level. If Alabama manages to win a national championship this year, it would be a first for a team with such a limited run game.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
