Former Alabama Star Was Not Happy With Team's Offensive Play-Calling

It was a defensive struggle for the first three quarters of Monday's national championship between Alabama and Georgia. Before the fourth quarterback began, one former Alabama star aired his frustrations on Twitter, urging the Crimson Tide to feed running back Brian Robinson Jr.

“GIVE HIM THE F------ BALL,” former Crimson Tide wide receiver DeVonta Smith said in a Tweet.

Smith followed up his initial tweet shortly thereafter, clarifying he wanted Alabama to lean on its star running back

“GIVE B ROB THE BALL,” Smith tweeted.

Smith's suggestion seems sensible given the Crimson Tide's battered receiving corps.
