There are the glamor records like career passing yardage or touchdown receptions. They’re easily tracked and follow a linear path.
Damien Harris isn’t fighting for one of those.
No, more than halfway through his fourth Alabama season, he’s angling toward one of the obscure yet challenging corners of the school record book. Through 392 carries in a Crimson Tide uniform, Harris is averaging 6.7 yards per attempt.
For a ball carrier with at least 300 attempts, that ranks second only to Eddie Lacy. From 2010-12, Lacy averaged 6.8 yards a run. That’s 2,402 yards in 355 attempts.
