Alabama’s Ground Game Revival | Alabama Crimson Tide Football News

Alabama’s offense is revving up with a ground game focus, exploding for 227 rushing yards and five touchdowns — all on the ground — in their season opener against East Carolina. After struggling with big runs last year, the Tide now boast five runs of 12+ yards, with quarterback Keelon Russell leading the way with four and true freshman EJ Crowell making his mark. Trae’shawn Brown’s 68-yard TD was nullified by a penalty, but his speed and potential were undeniable. Coach DeBoer praised the team’s physicality and adaptability, while teammates highlighted Crowell’s toughness and Brown’s rapid rise. The real test comes next week against Kentucky — can this rushing surge translate against a tougher opponent? Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
