When has it been stout?
#7 Mississippi St - 45 carries, 142 yards (3.16 YPA)
#9 Texas A&M - 28 carries, 109 yards (3.89 YPA)
#29 Missouri - 45 carries, 184 yards (4.09 YPA)
#37 Auburn - 26 carries, 123 yards (4.73 YPA)
#39 LSU - 37 carries, 281 yards (7.59 YPA)
#49 Georgia - 29 carries, 157 yards (5.41 YPA)
We also ran it well against State in the first half, so that number is a bit deceiving.
I wouldn't say we're just punching people in the mouth, but we've run it pretty well against solid run defenses. It's definitely not our bread and butter, but I think the RPO stuff kind of makes it that way.

Surprised that number vs uga isn’t higher. Felt like we were gashing them. Can’t believe we didn’t run more

Over the few years our run game has slowly morphed from getting consistent 5-6 yards gains, to more 3 yards or less carries, then popping a long one.

Those are better than I thought.
We have had awful luck breaking big runs this year, our explosiveness has been really low and it doesn't make sense considering even bad rushing offenses at least bust a couple of explosive runs a game.
Explosiveness trumps efficiency in terms of offense, that's probably the biggest change Saban has made and one that when its all said and done we need to trumpet the loudest, it's rare to see a defensive minded old school coach adapt so quickly to a complete change in how football and winning games offensively is played.
