Alabama OC Ryan Grubb Confident Tide Can Run The Football Against LSU

Alabama offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb discussed the importance of establishing the running game against LSU's defensive front ahead of Saturday's matchup in Tiger Stadium.

Grubb emphasized that the Crimson Tide must remain disciplined, take what LSU's defense gives them, and avoid trying to force big plays.

“I think just like any week, you got to run disciplined and run physical,” Grubb said. “And what I mean by that is, don’t pass on the four-yard run against a defense like this. If there’s a crack there, we got to take it. We can’t be greedy and think about, ‘What if I bounce this one?’”

Grubb expressed confidence in Alabama's ability to move the ball on the ground against the Tigers.

“Just got to follow the rules, be disciplined and run aggressively and with belief. And I believe our guys can run the football on these guys. I think we’ve run against some good fronts this season.

“So for us, it’s just going to be staying disciplined in the read, keeping the ball moving forward. And then, you know, be patient for the big one.”

LSU and Alabama will kick off Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CT on ABC.
