The beginning of a legend? Alabama’s Slade Bolden is an intriguing prospect as the former 4-star ATH, who hails from West Monroe High School in Louisiana, could be the Tide’s latest wrinkle in their already thriving offense.
But what about the running game?
That’s the dilemma. To start the young season for the Tide, they have yet to have a running back eclipse 100 yards for the game, which is odd for a Nick Saban-led team.
Bolden, who lined up at quarterback, running back, and wide receiver on offense in high school, took snaps at quarterback against South Carolina, giving birth to the “Slade-Cat” (Wildcat) package, formerly run by Josh Jacobs a season ago.
