Should Damien Harris be getting more carries?

The list of the Alabama running backs to come through the program in the Nick Saban era includes two Heisman Trophy winners, a Heisman Trophy finalist, a National Football League Offensive Rookie of the Year and two NFL Pro Bowlers.

Yet for the all the success previous running backs have had at Alabama, it is Damien Harris who tops them all in one category: yards per carry. The UA junior is averaging 8.24 yards per carry this season, totaling 906 yards on 110 rushes. That’s nearly 1.14 yards better than his total last year (7.1), which would also lead all Saban-era backs (among backs with at least 100 carries in a season).
