SI article: McClellan out Saturday
The closer the SEC Championship game gets, the better idea we get of both Georgia and Alabama's situation on the injury front. Yesterday, it was reported that Alabama starting running back Jase McClellan was expected to be out, and now it has been ruled that McClellan has officially been ruled out for Tide, first reported by Austin Hannon from BamaCentral.
During the 2023 season, McClellan has rushed for 803 yards, six touchdowns and is averaging 4.8 yards per carry. Alabama's next-best rusher statistically is Roydell Williams who has 497 yards, four touchdowns and is averaging 5.3 yards per carry. A tough loss for the Crimson Tide as they approached their biggest game of the season against a well-rounded Georgia defense.
Coming into this game, perhaps the biggest task for the Bulldogs' defense is going to be containing quarterback Jalen Milroe's scrambling ability, and how he can add to the run game. However, with McClellan's injury, one would have to think it does alleviate some of the pressure on Georgia's defense if the Tide's top rusher is not available for the championship matchup.

Bama fans say McClellan sucked. Not a loss.
Roydell is much better.
Roydell is much better.

He was a starter for a reason. Hopefully because the other guys can’t block the pass rush.

He has nearly 2:1 rushing yards over Roydell
