In the last three games, Alabama’s running game has started to surge.
The move to start Landon Dickerson at center and Deonte Brown at right guard against Texas A&M paid off for Nick Saban, as both players spearheaded a balanced attack that led to the Crimson Tide’s 47-28 win over the Aggies on last week.
Throughout practice, the rotation of Dickerson, Brown, Evan Neal, Alex Leatherwood and Jedrick Wills was not only strong, but this was also the lineup fans envisioned at the beginning of the season. As productive as Chris Owens is, the group Alabama had on Saturday bullied the Aggies’ defensive front.
