Haynes should have played more in the Rose Bowl and the offense should have focused on using him. He is easily Alabama's best RB. Saban knows this, which is why he played him relatively early as he realized Alabama was in a dogfight, so he needed his best weapons. Then when it looked like Alabama had gained control of the game, he resorted to his "old reliables", so no more Haynes. Unless there was an injury. Haynes is just a big-time runner and player.

At one point Haynes was going for almost 10YPC even with no functional downfield passing game and all the other issues we’ve documented.
