Rumors may have Steve Sarkisian as a candidate to take the head coaching vacancy at South Carolina, but Nick Saban and Alabama football need to hang on to the talented offensive coordinator.
He has instituted balance all season and last week, the offensive line and running backs for the Crimson Tide hit its stride versus the Kentucky Wildcats at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Since making a decision to return for his senior year in the offseason, Najee Harris has improved his draft value and is advancing up the all-time list for running backs in school history.
Coach Saban wanted to get a couple of freshmen an opportunity in the backfield; however, Harris was able to total his sixth 100-yard performance from scrimmage in a 63-3 win over Kentucky.
