re: Can VOLS run the football on Alabama?

Hurd is a pretty good RB. With Dobbs being a threat as a runner, I think we'll see UT move the chains a due to the fact that accounting for a physical guy like Hurd up the middle, then having to watch out for Dobbs cutting it to the outside will be hard to contain

Hurd goes to the edge. Dobbs is more likely to go through the middle when there's an opening but also goes the edge on more designed runs. We don't run between the tackles much. We're a spread team in that we spread the field and force defenses to run the width and length of the field but we don't do it with a typical passing spread but rather a power running spread.

As for our OL, they've been surprisingly improved, particularly at run blocking. They suck at pass pro tho.
