Alabama looking for more than one back to shoulder the load in 2012.
View attachment 2644Nick Saban doesn't want another Trent Richardson to emerge from his pool of running backs this season.
He doesn't want another Mark Ingram, either.
What the Alabama coach desires is a player -- or two, or three, or four -- to grow into a role and establish his own, unique niche on a 2012 team he has repeatedly said will have its own, unique identity.
"I just think there's an opportunity for another guy who is a different style, who has a different personality, and maybe different characteristics as a runner," Saban said Thursday at SEC Media Days. "They could be offensive players you have that get featured in a little different way and become as productive or more productive in another way.
"They did the same thing when they took over. (Richardson) did the same thing in replacing Mark Ingram."
Producing at the level Ingram, the 2009 Heisman Trophy winner, and Richardson, a 2011 Heisman Trophy finalist, did over their respective three-year careers is certainly acceptable, of course.
