Alabama football 'disappointed' in run game vs Texas A&M. Can it be fixed?

Alabama football faced disappointment in their run game against Texas A&M, securing a 31-20 victory at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Head coach Kalen DeBoer expressed his dissatisfaction, stating, "Disappointed." The Crimson Tide's combined rushing yards amounted to just 68 on 28 carries, averaging a mere 2.4 yards per carry. Only three carries resulted in 10 or more yards.

Daniel Hill, Alabama's leading rusher, accumulated 36 yards on nine touches. This marks the second consecutive week Alabama fails to surpass 70 yards in the run game. DeBoer highlighted that the team's run game is adequate for generating a few yards but falters when players are unblocked at the point of attack or falling off blocks.

To rectify this issue, Alabama needs to revert to the fundamentals and improve in these areas. Tight end Kaleb Edwards vowed the team's focus remains on enhancing the run game and making necessary adjustments. However, he expressed confidence that Alabama will once again succeed in running the ball effectively. Alabama tight end Kaleb Edwards acknowledged the focus on improving the run game, trusting in the offensive line, tight ends, running backs, and receivers to execute their roles.
