There is no meaningful debate about how historically poor the 2023 Alabama Crimson Tide has been at running the football. Diving into a vault of detail, Saturday Down South's Connor O'Gara labeled the Crimson Tide rushing attack "dreadful." He is not wrong.
O'Gara asks if "Alabama can win a title" with its current average of 3.5 rushing yards per attempt. Actually, O'Gara stated the average is 3.6 yards, but Sports Reference has the stat at 3.5 yards.
O'Gara explains that no National Champion in the 21st century has had such a weak rushing performance.
