NFL Hall of Famer and well-known sports commentator, Shannon Sharpe is not impressed by the Alabama running back room.
Sharpe went as far as to say he feels this is the worse group of running backs he has ever seen Alabama have while watching the Tide lose to Oklahoma.

“This is the worse crop of Bama RBs ever,” Sharpe posted to X. “How does Hill miss that cut with a blocker in front?”

While Daniel Hill did not have a dominant performance against the Sooners, his 60 yards on 15 carries is the most production Alabama has seen out of a running back in weeks.
While there were various other reasons why the Tide lost to Oklahoma, having a stagnant running game certainly did not help.
