Used chatGPT to collect some stats. Amazing tool... Love it. Talk about a weird game from a stat standpoint. We once again came out looking terrible (which is why a few people were booing Grubb, not the players). We tried to be balanced but didn't have great success. Then we went to mostly passing the remainder of the half and found get success. We were fairly balanced in the third and played very efficient scoring twice (running stats aided by 57 yard run by KR). We really didn't pound the round until the 4th quarter.
Some stats I gathered around run vs pass production by quarter, total rushing per player, and which side we were more successful running:
Alabama Offense vs FSU — By Quarter
Q1
9 runs — 13 rushing yards
9 passes — 76 passing yards

Q2

13 passes — 185 passing yards

Q3
6 runs — 96 rushing yards (57 yarder by KR for a TD).

And ECU echoes the same right side dominance in rushing:
ALABAMA RUSHING BY DIRECTION — 2026

RIGHT: 14 carries, 113 yards — 8.1 YPC
MIDDLE: 15 carries, 71 yards — 4.7 YPC
LEFT: 16 carries, 42 yards — 2.6 YPC
Directional total:
45 carries, 226 yards — 5.0 YPC
So, to sum it all up. The right side is significantly better.

This got me looking at who's playing on the right side of the o line. CHATGPT actually pointed out that the only constant has been rt Jayvin James. RG has been carroll and sanders. Carroll didn't play against Kentucky.

The offense has ups and downs but when MC and JJ are in the lineup the foundational element is 12 personnel with motion to run right.

Im chekcing out the UK game and we only had 14 rushing yards with 5 minutes to go in the 3rd. So we had 140 rushing yards in the last 1/3 of the game.
I think we have found that if we use more tight ends we can run much more effectively. We do a better job of that when we need to late in games and they know it's coming, but early in the games it's harder it seems.
We ran the same exact running play on 2 goal to go TDs. One with Crowell and one with Brown. We had 2 TEs off the line behind the LT and ran a jet sweep to that side w/ the RB. Both scored.

2.8 yards per carry
Brown's 20 yard TD run towards the end of the game came from a run to the left. We had 10 carries for 11 yards before that running left? We clearly had more success running right but I don't recall it being that futile to the left.

Bama made an upgrade on Oline, but the biggest difference is the TEs. These guys are mauling people.

Yep. Edward’s has blocked well. Pritchett blocks well. Ford has improved. Danny Lewis is killing mofos
