Saban PC: Altee Tenpenny to take Drake's spot as the 3rd running back
- Thread starter CrimsonChuck

We are going through running backs like paper towels. Yeldon, hamstring, Henry, shoulder, Drake (ugh), Jones, finger -- take care of yourself Altee. Hope you run wild on your home state's team....
Times like this I recall the numerous "We are loaded at runing back" posts from others. Hard to be loaded or overloaded in a league as physical as the SEC.
Awesome video. It sums up this forum in just over a minute.
(I did take out the video in the quote. No need to have it twice in the same thread.)
How great would it be to see Tenpenny have a breakout game this weekend in his home state?
We need a feel-good story like that. It's been, what? Two weeks since we've had one? We're due.
Seriously, hope Altee does have a breakout game.

The worrisome thing to me is that while we have other very good running back candidates (Tenpenny a good case in point) we do NOT have anyone who can bring to the line what Drake did. It will be a test of Kiffin to see what he can do, deprived of Drake as an offensive weapon.
Meh, he's alright. Theres a reason he's 5th string when everyone is healthy. He'll be fresh legs, but he's not Drake's doppelgänger. He should be a solid RB to spell the top 2 guys, nothing more, nothing less.
Yeah, he was only the seventh best running back in the class of 2013, and he only runs a sub-4.40. I'd say he's "alright."
I'm sure he's very good, but CoachJeff has a point - if Drake didn't lose his position with his ball-security issues, he must've brought something to the table to overcome that.
I hope Tenpenny becomes the next great Bama back, and he has 100% of my support, but to assume there isn't a drop off (perhaps a significant one) from Drake to AT is likely wishful thinking.
Fingers crossed, though...
I thought the same thing! Tenpenny, or Dime as Coach Steele calls himHow great would it be to see Tenpenny have a breakout game this weekend in his home state?

, (Get it? Haha) is a very nice young man. Always polite and always smiling. I'd love for him to have a breakout weekend. He's been so unselfish waiting his turn and contributing however he can. Roll Tide to him!
Why do you think he was 5th string? Could it be because he's not as good as the guys ahead of him?
I hope he gets 200 yards Saturday. I would love nothing more than for him to be the lead story after the game. But thus far he's shown nothing spectacular. He certainly doesn't have Drakes skill set.
