Jalen Hurts will be at Bama for a lot of years, and he's going to get most of the carries. The current Bama is nothing like the Bama of the past 8-10 years, so I would be amazed at the top backs choosing the Tide.

Ha what?

2/7 Heisman winners were Bama RBs.

A Bama RB is one of the top RBs taken in the draft every year

Chances are you will win at least 1 ring in you're 4 years there

No, I'm not drunk. Maybe a little last night...lol

I understand the Natty and playing for a powerhouse, but their offense is nothing like it was even a couple of years ago. Why not go to a more pro-style offense that gets you more touches. JH is going to be the focus for at least awhile. If anyone has a shot at the Heisman it will be Hurts, not the RB..

You do realize that Hurts is a true Freshman who is just starting to scratch the surface of his passing potential, right?

As he gets older he'll throw more and run less. Our running backs will be just fine moving forward.

They want to win They want a shot to play in a NC. Want a shot at a Heisman. Want a shot to play in NFL. Want a shot at being drafted in first round.

I don't know...

Ohio State runs the QB more than anyone and they get a top back every year. Clemson got Feaster and they run the QB. I don't think a lot of these 5 stars want 3 full years of wear and tear when they are not getting paid for it. Look what has happened to the backs at UGA. That being said I hope you are right and Harris decides to take his talents to the West Coast.

They are, by far, the dumbest fan base in all of college football.

Bro... you have Bama fans committing murder by shooting a fellow Bama fan in the fricking Face over a football game.

Not in the least... I, unlike you, can admit there are dumb bastards in my own fanbase.

Because they want to win meaningful football games. Believe it or not, some still aspire to greatness.

Against LSU, our 3 RBs had 12, 11, and 5 carries. Hurts had 20, but some of those were sacks and scrambles. There's plenty of carries to go around.

LSU's second string RB had 2 carries.

Probably for the guaranteed win against LSU every year. To actually make it to the CFB Playoffs. They have a proven coach that isnt going anywhere.

They're doing what they have to to win. The more Hurts improves his passing, the less he'll run.
