Why it's EJ Crowell time for the Alabama football offense | Goodbread
Alabama football OC Ryan Grubb rightly calls freshman RB EJ Crowell "wildly effective." The case for more carries and why they're soon to come.
Alabama football offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb has been open about his preference for EJ Crowell when the team approaches the opponent's goal line. The freshman running back has proven to be an effective finisher, as he gained 49 yards on three carries in the Crimson Tide's victory over Mississippi State. Crowell's playmaking ability appears to be improving, as he understands the playbook better.
Defensive coordinator Kane Wommack jokingly remarked on the cost of treating the coaching staff to a restaurant after each defensive touchdown. The matchup to watch is Alabama wide receiver Lotzeir Brooks against Georgia defensive back Khalil Barnes. Brooks has been a standout playmaker, with big yardage gains in recent games. Meanwhile, the Perfect Storm of the upcoming Alabama vs. Georgia game, including weather concerns, has fans and media buzzing.
