When a team has a Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback, it’s not a surprise the running game isn’t the focal point of the offense.
Alabama’s run game might be the one area where it wasn’t dominant in the final weeks of the regular season. The Tide didn’t rush for more than 115 yards against each of their last four SEC opponents, averaging 2.4 yards per attempt in those games against LSU, Arkansas, Auburn and Georgia.
Stopping the run will be integral for the Cincinnati Bearcats, which should already have their hands full with quarterback Bryce Young and star receiver Jameson Williams.
