4.40 official and 1.44 10-yard split per SEC Network.

Ruggs ran a 1.43 10-yard split (and 4.27 40). Chris Johnson has the record for 10-yard split at 1.40. So much for not being explosive...

I remember way back when Mark Ingram having a below average 40 time, but his 10 yard split was best among the RBs. Looking it up now, it was 1.53.

Wild how times have changed, he's not just scootin' for a QB, he's scootin' PERIOD.

I dug back on carries and yards for RBs under DeBoer historically(as a HC or OC post Sioux Falls), and most of his better teams had a higher emphasis on passing and not a lot of "bellcow" RBs with great stats.

2023 Washington(14-1), 2015 EMU(1-11), and 2011 SIU(4-7) were the only times for a single RB under DeBoer to have over 200+ carries in a season, and 2019 Fresno State(4-8) was the last time the offense ran more than they threw (386 to 373).

The offense lives and dies by a 4K passer and a 2-3 headed RB room getting around 100 carries each.

2023 with Dillon Johnson seems to be an outlier, as they really didn't have much after him in the RB room. The 2nd leading rusher had 44 carries to Johnson's 233. For reference, Alabama's 2nd leading rusher in 2024 was Jam Miller, who had 145 carries.

Huff time?

Huff might end up back at Washington, their OL coach(and Pete Carroll's son) was just hired by the Raiders.

Sheridan demoted, off the field altogether, or fired?

Saw he removed "Alabama OC" from his Twitter and locked it per my feed.

ETA: Apparently that's not new :dunno:

Great defensive coach, that side of the ball fell off when he got fired.

Obviously the Jets are a mess, but felt at times he was too passive as a coach. Whether that was because Woody kept cutting his legs out from under him(yes), or he really couldn't escape being too much of a player's coach in his first time as a HC.

I absolutely hope he gets another shot as a HC, he's a super likable coach. Hopefully having lived the disaster of the Jets organization is an experience he can learn from.

Allar was supposed to be the guy, he just never became more than a decent QB.

I love their OC's scheme coming from Kansas, I think they'll regret not being able to keep their backup QB. Beau Pribola seemed like a better fit, but now he's at Mizzou.

I do think DeBoer is more of a player's coach than a disciplinarian, but I think it's more what CFB has become.

One of the things Saban disliked as an NFL HC was the diminishing returns of coaching/discipline towards players making more than the coaching staff. The power dynamic is shifting more that way now in college, they'll still get their money. Whether it's from you, or from another team.

Mbakwe is also a massive question for me moving forward. Is he just an athlete without a position at the moment? Could he end up competing with Jones?

---

From bowl prep, it sounded like Mbakwe is a WR only from what the coaches said.

Terrion Arnold just got carted off, looks like a knee/leg injury.

Detroit has some horrible injury luck in these marquee games this year...

Body language wise, he's been so much more confident stepping up into the pocket. He had a nice little adlib flip to the TE on the game winning drive by rolling out, staying patient and making a play. Pre benching, there were so many times he'd collapse under pressure.

Dave Canales had worked wonders with Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield, so credit to him as well.
