🏈 Tide Running Backs

[srollins]

With Fowler and Hart out for the rest of the season, clearly Yeldon will get more carries and we've seen Drake as well. What are the odds that we might see Calloway at RB at some point this year. I know he's been practicing there, but doesn't he still have his RS for this season? Would it be a wise decision to burn it at RB when we still have Lacy, Yeldon and Drake? I know we've gone 5 deep into the depth chart at RB this year...

Brent has played in every game except FAU.

Thanks TerryP. I guess I haven't payed close enough attention.

In that case, we might see him in the offensive backfield some this season.

Saban said as much in the presser last week I believe. Brent and Blake have a chance to get some time in the backfield.

Brent almost had a receiving TD in the last game.

I didn't know it off the top of my head. I just knew where to find it quickly. I knew we'd seen him in three games off the top of my head.

As to him getting carries out of the backfield? He hasn't had a carry out of the backfield this season. He's been used in the H-back position in all four games. He should.

I may be wrong, but I don't recall seeing him on special teams.

I tried to find info on the 'net about his playing time this year before I posted. Where/how do you get that kind of info when you don't know it "off the top of your head?"

Brent was chasing down Mizzou's kickoff return TD, so he's on special teams.

Yeah, Brent was the last hope in chasing down the guy that returned the KO for a score. The returner was much faster than him...
