TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Before the season, there were question marks about Alabama's backfield. Who would emerge with Derrick Henry and Kenyan Drake both gone? The only running backs left on the roster were inexperienced and unproven. They had all of 75 carries between them last year.
So you can imagine the fans' reaction when the Crimson Tide's top two backs, Damien Harris and Bo Scarbrough, both went down with an injury during the first quarter of Saturday's 48-0 win over Kent State.
Panic likely set in.
Not to worry.
