Will Alabama Have a 100-yard rusher against Vanderbilt? Just a Minute
1 Video View·Nov 13, 2026
Back in Week 2, Alabama running back Daniel Hill rushed
for 104 yards against Kentucky,
and that has been the one
and only time this season Alabama has had a 100-yard rusher in a game.
Will that change this weekend against Vanderbilt?
I think it will.
I think the Crimson Tide will,
even though it's kind of going against the trends for both teams.
Alabama's only had it happen one time, and surprisingly,
despite only having one win in conference play,
Vanderbilt has not allowed a 100-yard rusher
in SEC play so far yet this year.
But I think it could happen for the Crimson Tide
this week for a couple of reasons.
Thank
First, they've kind of basically said since the beginning of the week,
they're kind of committing to the ground game.
Ryan Grubb wants to get it back on track.
you so
Second, I think they're going to try
and take as much off of Keelan Russell's play as possible
as he's kind of been dealing with some
much
different injuries throughout the year.
Ryan Grubb said he had a foot injury against Texas A&M.
for
He injured his ankle against LSU.
He came back in and finished the game.
But I think Alabama wants to protect him as much as possible this week.
your
And so I think that should lend to more rushing the
ball
And then Kalen DeBoer has
also kind of talked about controlling the clock
against a team like Vanderbilt that wants to control the clock.
And one of the best ways to do that is to run the ball.
Now, I think what might prevent Alabama from doing that
and what has for most of the year besides just generally
not having a ton of success
running the ball against some of the really elite defenses,
but they're really more running back by committee between Daniel Hill,
Treshawn Brown, EJ Corral, who was probable for this week.
And so it's not like there's one guy
that's just been getting a ton of carries,
but I think we could see that change this Saturday.
What do you think?
Let us know in the comments on social media.
That wraps up today's Just A Minute.
Thank you so much for watching.
