re: Skip Bertman does not believe Jeremy Hill will be back

No, but they don't have depth problems and the RB is a key component of their offense, just as it is a key component of ours.

Bama runs mostly a two-back system and plays other guys sparingly to rest the main two backs. They don't win because of having stupid depth at RB, they win because they have an iron wall offensive line and a stonewall defensive unit. If you're allowing less than 260 yards a game and less than 12 points a game EVERY YEAR, of course you're gonna win a lot.

most systems use two backs now instead of one guy and a backup for rest. Les only used the for horsemen in 2011 because Ware was suspended for a game and we had no big back to replace his snaps. In comes Hilliard and we're now splitting between four.

Miles already said he'd use Copeland as a back if Hill can't go and it's similar to what Bama does with Fowler.
