Well, that was one game; in the next four, I’d wager there won’t be any talk of Bama’s “struggling” running game.
Seriously, though, you can shut down a teams passing game by only rushing three - and when faced with that there’s not a team that wouldn’t run every down when faced with that. It would make no sense to do otherwise.
Bama was 33-27 pass/run, IMO only because CNS will never give up on the run, regardless. And if you do that against at least half of the SEC when they put 8 in the box, the results will most likely be close to what we saw yesterday.
* actually probably wasn’t 27 rushing attempts; Jalen was sacked when he fumbled and I think Tua’s TD was a scramble (?).
