MICHAEL CASAGRANDE al.com The final numbers could be somewhat deceptive. Alabama finished its 55-0 season opening win over Utah State with 278 rushing yards — a number it surpassed just once a year ago.Of those 278 yards, 100 came on five passing plays that turned into Bryce Young scrambles. They’re more one-offs than schemed achievements.
Utah State recorded six run stuffs , a stat defined as a carry that ended at or behind the line of scrimmage. Alabama’s defense, for context, stuffed Utah State 14 times or 38% of its runs. “They did a lot of stunting and moving up front, which we sort of expected,” Saban said Monday. “We didn’t always pick it up exactly right. Sometimes they were able to create some negative plays with it, so definitely need to work on those things.”
