No parade was held last season for a Southeastern Conference school (seeing that a national championship was not obtained by the league), but Alabama head coach Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide look to avenge itself in the upcoming season and the work starts in fall practice.
Offensively, the Tide returns a stacked roster headlined by quarterback Jalen Hurts, running backs Damien Harris and Bo Scarbrough, and wide receiver Calvin Ridley. Aside from receivers, linebackers and talented players for its secondary, running back is the most recruited position for Alabama’s coaching staff. From Glenn Coffee to Derrick Henry, Saban and the Tide have boasted a primary rusher on its squad.
