ATLANTA — Lane Kiffin knows what you probably spent a few hours asking on Saturday.
Why didn’t they just keep handing the damn ball to Bo?
It’s a legitimate question for the Alabama offensive coordinator in the wake of the Crimson Tide’s 24–7 win against Washington in the Peach Bowl. Sophomore tailback Bo Scarbrough carried 19 times for 180 yards—a 9.5-yard average—and was the lone offensive bright spot a day when Alabama’s defense scored as many points as Washington’s offense and combined with Scarbrough to carry the Crimson Tide into the national title game. To win that title game rematch against Clemson, Alabama probably will need to generate more consistent offensive success than it did against the Huskies.
