Alabama looks to play Trey Sanders, other running backs vs. Southern Mississippi

Brian Robinson (ribs) suffered a minor injury for Alabama versus Florida.

The Tuscaloosa native continued to play and performed well in a 31-29 win for the Crimson Tide. Coach Nick Saban told reporters that Robinson was day-to-day, but he had a new update during Thursday’s “Hey Coach” show. He said the fifth-year senior was banged up; however, it is nothing serious. Robinson totaled 75 yards rushing against the Gators and scored two touchdowns.

He is Alabama’s leading rusher, averaging 69.3 yards per game. Robinson will get some work in this matchup, but Southern Mississippi opens a chance for Trey Sanders and Roydell Williams.
