Bama Fans Shouldn't Get Their Hopes UP for a 1,000 Yard Rusher

Alabama Football fans are expecting a much improved run game in 2026 - and for good reason. Following an embarrassing year, they want to see the Tide get back to the days of old. Under Nick Saban - Alabama's rushing attack had no problem producing in crucial college football moments, however it's been lacking big time since Kalen Deboer and Ryan Grubb has taken over. Long gone are the days of Brian Robinson, Najee Harris, and Derrick Henry, but there's light at the end of the college football tunnel as the Tide don't need a 1000 rusher to return to being elite in the run game. However - they do have to be situationally physical to come out on top of the SEC. Fans should know what to expect going into the new season, and they should also be ready for a different type of offense when the Tide take the field in Bryant Denny Stadium.
