ALABAMA CAN’T RUN | PATE SAYS INDIANA DEFENSE WILL EXPOSE CRIMSON TIDE

Watch Josh Pate on GET UP break down the Alabama Crimson Tide offense ahead of their College Football Playoff matchup vs undefeated Indiana, arguing that Alabama “can’t run the ball” consistently and that their offense is too one-dimensional — a potential problem against Indiana’s elite defense. Pate explains that the Tide’s lack of a dependable ground game forces them into predictable pass-heavy situations, making it easier for strong defenses like Indiana’s to pin their ears back, rush the passer, and disrupt rhythm. Experts believe that if Indiana maintains its stout defensive identity and Alabama can’t diversify its offense, the Hoosiers will control the game script in Pasadena’s Rose Bowl quarterfinal.
