Alabama's lack of a running game will be their undoing down the stretch...

Thank you, Captain Obvious, I know. But it has become rather concerning seeing our top two backs averaging less than four yards per carry this late into the season. This also continues a disturbing trend for us going back several years: the lack of a 1,000-yard rusher. Brian Robinson was the last one to eclipse the millennium mark and that was in 2021. Alabama hasn't won a national championship without one since 1992 and even then Derrick Lassic would have eclipsed 1,000 yards if the stats from the SEC Championship Game and Sugar Bowl were counted as they would be in the present day.
