I wish we would, but don't see it with this current offense. Hopefully Kiffin moves on soon and we get back to imposing our will on people and running the ball.

....................................... I never will understand why people still complain about Kiffin's stye with the offense, and complained about not running and pounding...when people are going to realize that teams have been loading up the boxes all season long, They have called run plays a lot, and Sims checked out of it a lot... Dang.
I think we finally run with authority in this game. Factor is TJ Yeldon. He hasnt' been healthy all season long. When healthy, He plays well.. like he did against MSU. I think we're going to try and run between tackle to test the DT to see how it goes. I wouldn't be surprised if we are still scripting plays well into first half. Auburn have issues with tackling big runners such as Henry and then we have Jones and Henry... Could be too much for them.
Man, I'd love it if you're right. It's just that, after 11 games of inconsistent running, I have a hard time seeing how it suddenly changes in the 12th.
This offense has already gained more yards than any Bama team in history.
I kinda hope Coach K. hangs around for a while.
Maybe they would throw it to him more if he caught the passes that came his way .
I think after dealing with previous OC, and I meant no disrespect toward them, I think I can understand why Saban wanted a fresh approach to the offense and He got that. Believe it or not, I think players are responding to Kiffin better than they did with Nuss. Secondly, I think our running game like other has stated has moments here and there, but I think I can honestly say there's lot of factors behind it: OL not physically talented, Injuries, Defense stacking up against us, We finally have QB that can run... etc. All I know is that when that moment comes where the game is on the line, Sims, Cooper, Howard, White, Jones, Henry, Yeldon, Volger, have stepped up big time this year. If we run the table, WE could see Yeldon and Henry having 1,000 yard rush with Cooper having 1,800 plus in receiving... Think about that for a moment. I Just think that tomorrow we will see running game little more especially when we know Auburn is struggling against run defense for most part. I dont' care how their number looked this year, they still have hard time with pass and rushing...
I agree. OJ has dropped lot of passes too... To be fair... CJ has done that as well. Well Cooper too.... OH.. White too.. Oh.. Stewart too...
For some reason, we never seem to do well against perceived weaknesses. For example, Arkansas was a terrible pass defense team. We couldn't pass against them. Tenn is terrible against the run, we couldn't run on them. It leaves me scratching my head alot. But hey a W is a W.
They drop 1 out of 10. OJ seems to drop 1 out of every 2 or 3. Big difference junior..
