Richardson entered play Saturday night with three consecutive games of over 100 rushing yards, including 126 against Arkansas last week. The former Pensacola-Escambia star, who was heavily recruited by Florida, scored eight rushing touchdowns in UA’s first four games.

“Trent, you can stop him for most of the game, but in the third or fourth quarter, he’s going to pop one big and rip one off,” George said. “That’s the type of back he is, and he can hit it between the tackles. I’m very impressed with his power and speed. I think between he and Eddie Lacy, that’s a great running combination.”

George said he recognizes the value in the way UA coach Nick Saban manages the cumulative toll on his running backs by sharing carries.

“It’s effective. You’re still able to get your yards and do what you have to do, and keep guys fresh,” George said.

Michael Williams is no longer just a tantalizing prospect in the Crimson Tide’s offense. The 6-foot-6, 270-pound tight end is perhaps the most impressive physical specimen on the UA roster. Now he is becoming a weapon.

For once, the preseason promise to use the TE more in the passing game has become reality.  We seemed more predictable in the past, substituting a receiver TE (e.g., Colin Peek) on passing situations.  No more.
