Ryan Grubb abandoned the run game early against Florida State. With offensive balance a must moving forward, will he have the patience this weekend against Wisconsin?
The opening drive of the 2025 season looked like Alabama football of old. 16-plays, 75-yards of smashmouth football as the Crimson Tide punched in a touchdown to set the tone against Florida State. 12 of the 16 plays were runs, producing 55 yards along the way.
It was all downhill from there.
Alabama managed just 10 points and 31 rushing yards the remainder of the game, suffering a stunning season-opening loss to a hungrier, better-prepared football team.
