He’s the Southeastern Conference’s leading rusher by a little and the SEC’s leading scorer by a lot.
His team is undefeated through three games, and it’s averaging 51.0 points per contest.
Alabama running back Najee Harris came back for his senior season to enhance his NFL stock and to lead the Crimson Tide back to the College Football Playoff. A majority of the season has yet to transpire, but the early returns are promising.
“All of us are creating more value for ourselves by winning each game,” Harris said this week on a Zoom call. “When you win a game, it brings a lot of national notoriety to all the players and not just one particular player.”
There will be no lacking for a spotlight Saturday night inside Bryant-Denny Stadium, when Harris and the No. 2 Crimson Tide host the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs in a CBS-televised showdown. Alabama is coming off a 723-yard performance in last weekend’s 63-48 victory at Ole Miss, while Georgia is allowing just 12.3 points a contest and has held its first three opponents without second-half touchdowns.
