Grubb tells what happened on plays where Alabama running backs failed in pass protection

A big storyline that developed during Alabama’s loss to Oklahoma was the lack of pass protection from running backs Jam Miller and Daniel Hill against blitzing defenders.

Miller received the worst pass block grade after the Oklahoma game with a 23.1 rating.

A video is floating around the internet of Hill getting blown up by a blitzing Sooner player that weighs about 50 pounds less than Hill, a 244-pounder. That led to one of the four sacks that Oklahoma got on Ty Simpson in the game.

Miller and Hill have struggled in pass protection since SEC play began.
