Alabama Football: Ranking the Top 5 Running Backs in Nick Saban’s Era

Alabama football always seems to have an abundance of good running backs. However, since head coach Nick Saban took over, those backs seem even better.

Saban took over in 2007 and since then has transformed into one of the greatest college football dynasties ever.

What kind of offense does Saban prefer? A ground and pound offense that makes features a back that can run over the best of linebackers.

Alabama had 12 national titles before Saban took the job, but believe it or not, the Tide didn’t have any Heisman Trophy winners.

Well, Saban’s running backs brought Alabama its first two Heisman Trophy winners.
