Alabama's running game found little traction on Saturday against Florida State, but part of that issue was OC Ryan Grubb completely abandoning it for large stretches.

The Tide's opening drive script leaned heavily on the ground, with 12 of the 16 plays being runs. So it was a significant surprise to see that Alabama only ran the ball 17 times the remainder of the game, with several of those being designed pass plays that Ty Simpson scrambled on.
