The Miami Hurricanes know what they must do to slow the Alabama Football offense. Any chance for an upset depends upon negating effectiveness in the Crimson Tide rushing attack. If Manny Diaz can force Bill O’Brien to depend on Bryce Young to win the game, the Canes might have a small chance.

Last season the Alabama Crimson Tide was No. 30 in the FBS averaging five yards-per-carry. Najee Harris shouldered a heavy load of the Tide’s rushing attempts and averaged 5.8 yards. As talented as the Tide’s deep, 2021 backfield is, it may not have a ‘Najee’ in it.
