Title: "Tide will get running game mojo back vs. Auburn" Post by: Chechem on November 25, 2011, 05:38:14 AM Quote BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Quick, name the last Alabama running back to produce a single run of 10 yards or more against Auburn. Mark Ingram? Nope. The 2009 Heisman Trophy winner was mostly a dud in the Iron Bowl with two carries of 10 yards or more on 41 rushes. Both came in 2008 with a long of 14 yards. Trent Richardson? Nope. The 2011 Heisman Trophy candidate has also struggled in the Iron Bowl. He hasn't ripped off a 10-yard run or longer in his 25 carries against Auburn. The answer: Roy Upchurch, who produced an 11-yard run near the end of the 2008 Iron Bowl. That's 53 straight carries and counting by Alabama running backs vs. Auburn without gaining the equivalent of a first down. http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/11/tide_will_get_running_game_moj.html Title: Re: "Tide will get running game mojo back vs. Auburn" Post by: Jamos on November 25, 2011, 07:26:26 AM The running game is so important for them, especially for game control, so hopefully McCarron and his passing game is on, that will get the Barn out of the box.

A couple of over the top completions should loosen up that box a bit. |
