Why Alabama can cover
Young is a big threat through the air, but Alabama is strong on the ground too. The Crimson Tide offense averages 161.7 yards of rushing per game. This rushing attack is led by redshirt senior Brian Robinson Jr. He leads Alabama with 97 carries for 526 yards and six scores. Robinson Jr. is also averaging a team-high 105.2 rushing yards per game. The Alabama native has been playing particularly well the past two weeks.
Against Ole Miss, he had a season-high 36 carries for 171 yards and four touchdowns. The following week against Texas A&M, Robinson Jr. had 24 carries for 147 yards. He also snagged four passes for 60 yards. Robinson Jr. will look to continue his hot streak and gash the Bulldog defense.
