Definitely not what was expected but a lot of it is due to early injuries I'd think.

Has Scar not gotten many touches or is he battling an injury?(No troll just curious) Harris has lit it up on very few touches.

Is it weird to anyone else that Bama has almost exclusively gotten away from their powerful running game in favor of a finesse offense?

Honestly.. it kind of sucks world class defense with a modern offense..

An LSU fan can dream

Trayveon Williams Is just scratching the surface. He could break open Arkies butthole next week. That would make us happy, no explanation needed as to why.

We've used 4 running backs and quite frankly Scar looks the most stiff of the group. I just don't think his body and fluidity lends itself to being a great everydown back. He's good down by the goal line though. Harris has both broken big runs and had a lot of solid 4-6 yard runs. The two freshman have played well too (Jacobs and Emmons). And then we use Hurts.

Alabama Rushing
Harris : 36 att, 327 yards, 9.08 YPC, 1 TD
Scarbrough : 23 att, 68 yards, 2.96 YPC, 3 TD
Emmons : 12 att, 59 yards, 4.92 YPC, 1 TD
Jacobs : 7 att, 53 yards, 7.57 YPC, 0 TD
Hurts : 38 att, 197 yards, 5.18 YPC, 2 TD

I thought he looked really good against OM.

3 backs averaging 5+ ypc. I'm okay with this.

Love what I've seen from Trayveon Williams. He's been really good so far.

We had 334 yards rushing. Regardless of how they were attained you can bet your arse the Ole Miss defenders got tired of making those tackles.

To be fair, Bo had two really good runs pulled back Saturday due to penalties. I can't but think he's got to be getting frustrated.

We need to let Boom carry it more, especially now that Barker went down.

I think he only has attempts in 2 games, not 3.

How much would that change his YPG?
