What we think: The Crimson Tide running game doesn't always start fast, but it's finished strong in each of its past eight games. There's no reason to believe it won't Saturday. An effective passing game has helped set up Yeldon and Drake for plenty of success, particularly in the second half. Yeldon ran for more than 100 yards in the second half against LSU and seemed to break things open a bit when he ran for 50 yards late in the second quarter against Mississippi State. After a relatively quiet couple of games, Drake could be due for a performance like the one he had against Arkansas, when he ran for 104 yards and two touchdowns on just eight carries. ...
We'll pound 'em, then hit Norwood, Cooper, D White, and Christion Jones for big plays. I'm ready for this.
