Alabama's Run Game Tested at Kentucky | Sports News

Alabama’s run game is under the microscope as they face a tough test against Kentucky, who are hungry for their first conference win and boast a revamped roster. Last season’s dismal ground attack—ranked 126th nationally—still haunts the Crimson Tide, but new coach Kalen DeBoer is pushing for physicality and explosive plays. With only one rushing play of 20+ yards (from the QB), Alabama must prove they can dominate up front. Kentucky, despite a losing record last year, shut down the run in their opener and will lean on home-field noise to disrupt Alabama’s quarterback making his first road start. This matchup could be the turning point for both teams: Alabama’s chance to shed the “finesse” label and Kentucky’s shot to make a statement with a new energy and coaching staff.
