Rushing Tide

Through the first 4 games of 2008, the Alabama Crimson Tide are leading the SEC in rushing, with 236.8 yards per game. The Alabama offense is led by RB Glen Coffee, who boasts an average of 8.6 yards per carry. The Junior from Fort Walton Beach, Florida is coming off a stellar performance against Arkansas. Last Saturday, Coffee ran for 162 yards on just 10 carries versus the Razorbacks defense. Glen had a long run of 87 yards and scored two touchdowns, as Alabama routed Petrino's pigs 49-14. Joining him in the running back rotation are rising stars, Mark Ingram (Junior) and Roy Upchurch (Freshman). Ingram has 263 yards rushing and averages an impressive 6.1 yards per carry. Upchurch has gained 181 yards on 26 attempts, for an average of 7.0 yards per carry. This trio has combined to produce the most explosive rushing attack in the SEC. Throughout the first 4 games of the 2008 season, they have gained 848 yards on the ground and scored 7 touchdowns.
Alabama is playing extremely well in three major aspects of the game. First, they are dominating opponents with a strong rushing attack. Secondly, the Crimson Tide has showcased spectacular special teams play, sparked by the athleticism of Javier Arenas. And finally, the Alabama defense has been stout, fast, and nasty. Opponents beware: The Tide is rising fast!
