Alabama had so many scholarship running backs last season, two never even took a snap.

One year later...

Dee Hart's transfer to Colorado State and Alvin Kamara's departure left Alabama with two fewer running backs ... Five-star freshman Bo Scarbrough failed to qualify.

Two quarters into October, junior speedster Kenyan Drake went down with a broken leg. Freshman safety Ronnie Clark, who joined the group to provide depth, tore his Achilles tendon and is out for the season. T.J. Yeldon ...missed the fourth quarter against Tennessee and isn't practicing ... Redshirt freshman Tyren Jones, who has looked promising in mop-up duty, missed a couple of games with an injured finger and is currently suspended for unspecified reasons.

Known Running Backs:

Tenpenny
Fowler
Henry
Yeldon


Unknown Running Backs:

Buddy Pell 6' 200 Fr.  I think he's a walk-on


That's it for the RB position unless one our athlete recruits can play RB like Anthony Averett or Ronnie Clark. Clark is 6'3" 215, so he must have played some RB in HS.

Tenpenny needs to step up.  I always thought he had ability but maybe I was wrong.  Now's his chance.  Maybe the question is how bad does he want PT at RB.

Just think how hungry we are for a RB. The players have to learn to do life right, and learn to do their jobs on and off the field. RTR!
