TUSCALOOSA -- Throughout the offseason and preseason camp, Alabama players said a goal for the 2011 season was finishing.

Through four games, the Crimson Tide has finished with a flourish.

Of its 923 rushing yards, 413 have come in the fourth quarter. That's almost 45 percent. Opponents have been held to 44 rushing yards in the fourth quarter.

"Last year, in the Auburn game, we didn't finish well, and you can see the outcome of that game," senior wide receiver Darius Hanks said. "This year, we're just trying to win every fourth quarter."

How has the Tide turned talk into action?

"We just go out and do it," Hanks said.

I like those statistics.  Winning the 4th quarter is a necessity of a championship team.
