I'm fine without a featured back. You look back at those dominant Bryant teams from the 70s and it was strictly running back by committee.

Good point. Bama has underutilized a lot of RBs in the Saban era in my opinion. The worst was in 2013 when Nussmeier would never put Fowler, Drake, or Henry on the field. He may have been secretly in love with Yeldon.

Ironically, a lot of Bryant's teams were also quarterback by committee. He would sometimes play as many as four quarterbacks in a single game, hoping one would kickstart the offense.
