Alabama's Ground Game Revived | Huntsville News

Alabama’s ground game, once a glaring weakness, exploded for 227 rushing yards and five touchdowns against East Carolina—showcasing a transformed offense. Head coach Kalen DeBoer praised the team’s physicality and adaptability, especially in short-yardage situations where they struggled last season. Freshman running backs EJ Crowell and Trae’shawn Brown showed flashes of potential, with Crowell scoring and Brown nearly breaking loose on a long run. While QB Keelon Russell led in rushing, Daniel Hill delivered 47 yards on nine carries, emphasizing the Tide’s focus on converting tough third- and second-down plays. With momentum building, Alabama heads to Kentucky next Saturday—this could be the start of a dominant rushing attack.
