The problem when Bo got hurt is we didn't have another power back. As already mentioned Harris/Jacobs are smaller/shiftier backs that are awesome when they get a hole but pretty ineffective when they have no room. Bo, much like Henry could pick up yards even when hit at the line.

You need both types of backs to wear out defense, but we desperately need another power back to go along with Bo this year(since he can't carry it 30x a game like Henry could). I didn't see enough of BJ to know if he's that type of back...but I suspect the two new backs may fit this mold.

Honestly with this group of backs and Jalen being such a great runner--this should be one of the most prolific running games we've seen at Alabama.

Our WR's ought to be so open with teams crowding the box that Jalen should have tons of opportunities in the passing game if he improves even just a little bit. His problem last year is he couldn't see the open guy half the time, which was pretty frustrating.
