This amazes me - with the great history of running backs who have played for the Alabama Crimson Tide, none has ever recorded three straight 1,000 yard seasons. Current tailback Kenneth Darby could do just that in 2006, and with 1,077 yards, he would also break the school's career rushing record of 3,565, currently held by Shaun Alexander. Can the 5-foot-11-inch, 205-pound senior do it?

I don't see any reason why not. Of course he is going to draw a lot of attention from the defense, but he should be able to get to 1000. I say its a lock!

Something is wrong with Darby.

That's why Bear won he had a team that each player was interchangable and he sent right many to the pros.
