Alabama feels running back is showing he can be ‘the guy’ to go to for tough runs

Alabama football feels it has found a running back, who is playing as if he can be a dependable back when it comes to picking up tough yards.

Daniel Hill carried the football 15 times against Oklahoma and finished the game with 60 yards and two touchdowns. He outperformed the Tide’s starting running back Jam Miller while carrying the football six more times than the veteran back.

Alabama’s recent struggles in the run game are well documented. However, one can make an argument Hill has been the only slightly bright spot in the Tide’s rushing attack as of late.
