Alabama’s offense ranks in the top 10 nationally for college football in scoring (48.4 ppg, fourth), total offense (525 ypg, fourth), and rush offense (251.4 ypg, seventh), but it could be even better.
Bill O’Brien is not using all the pieces that would make the Crimson Tide’s attack scary. Alabama has speed across the board at every skill position. Jahmyr Gibbs and Jase McClellan are explosive running backs. McClellan had an 81-yard touchdown run in week two against Texas. Gibbs had a career day of 206 rushing yards and two touchdowns versus Arkansas. He averaged 11.4 yards per rush attempt, including two 70+ yard scoring runs.
