Alabama heads into Saturday's game at Ole Miss with the top-ranked run defense in the country.

Nobody has run the ball well against the Crimson Tide, and that stretches back to last season.

In fact, in Alabama's last seven games dating back to the Capital One Bowl win over Michigan State last season, the Crimson Tide have held opponents to an average of 27.3 rushing yards per game. That's a total of 191 rushing yards in seven games and just one rushing touchdown.

In four of those games, Alabama has limited opponents to 17 rushing yards or fewer and held Michigan State and Kent State to negative rushing yardage. Penn State is the only team in that seven-game stretch to rush for 100 yards. The Nittany Lions had 107 in the second week this season.

Yeah, so what kind of Nutt would try to run against the "crimson wall"?   :popcorn2:

Sometimes you feel like a Nutt. Sometimes you don't!

Never underestimate Nutt. He always come up with those trick plays, even when he was at Arkansas. I am curious as to what his offense will do myself. RTR

That's fine. Trickeration last only so long, then you have to play football.

The one rushing TD was at PSU, late in the 4th (1:43?), --they also ran for a 2pt. conversion. Does anyone remember hearing what their reasoning was to go for 2? It made the lead 16 instead of 17, but still a 3 possession game. Unless they followed up with 2 successful onside kicks, and went for 2 on those. They could have brought it to a tie and a 2 possession game if all that had gone correctly. I'll bet it was not JOPA that did all that math in 30 seconds or less.

Looking at the camera shots at JOPA, I don't think he had much input on anything. Kinda looked like he spent the whole game trying to adjust to his contacts.
