Title: SI - Richardson makes most of limited touches as Tide crush Hogs Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on September 25, 2011, 07:38:39 AM Quote TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama's defense is suffocating enough to allow the Tide to win ugly, like No. 1 Oklahoma did last week at Florida State and like No. 2 LSU does routinely. But No. 3 Alabama has Trent Richardson, so it doesn't need to. We could break down the details of how cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick shut down Arkansas receiver Greg Childs or of how linebacker Dont'a Hightower helped disrupt the Razorbacks' rushing attack in the Tide's 38-14 rout of the nation's No. 14 team ... but that's just not as fun as watching Richardson take a screen pass and bust it 61 yards to the end zone. "We want to have a running game where big plays are a possibility, and we have the backs to make it happen," said 'Bama offensive lineman Barrett Jones. "If you make a hole, they're going to make the secondary miss."
