Only twice in the seasons where Alabama didn't win the national championship (oh the humanity!) did a rusher eclipse the 1000 yard mark. In the CFP era, we have lost in the playoffs each time where we failed to produce a 1000-yard rusher.
Is it time for the fanbase to strike the RTDB banners for 2019? I think so. Najee Harris should be our star of the offense next year if we want to win the national title. If that is the case then our #1 overall pick QB will pick people apart in the games that matter.
