TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Two plays and 39 seconds. That’s all it took for Alabama’s offense to get rolling again.
Well, that and a mediocre Fresno State defense. But still.
A week after no receiver other than Calvin Ridley caught a pass against Florida State, Jalen Hurts dropped back on the first play from scrimmage and and found Cam Sims on a bubble screen that went for 18 yards and a first down. Then, offensive coordinator Brian Daboll dialed up the read-option and Hurts kept the ball himself, found daylight and sprinted 55 yards for the touchdown.
