VIDEO: Alabama's Najee Harris Destroys Gamecocks Defense With Brutal Stiff Arm and Hurdle on TD Run
By Karl Rasmussen
If a couple of South Carolina defenders decide to pull a Vontae Davis and retire at halftime, you can place the blame squarely on the shoulders of Bama's freight train of a running back Najee Harris. Nick Saban sent out the offense on 4th and 3, and Tua Tagovailoa hit Harris, who put his head down and went work, throwing aside a South Carolina defender with a savage stiff arm before taking off down the sideline. Harris then pulled off a disgusting hurdle just moments later, before shedding one final tackle and finding the end zone.

What on earth did we just witness?
Harris just showed off what made him one of the most coveted running backs in the nation coming out of high school. No matter how many bodies were thrown at him from the South Carolina defense, he wasn't impeded.
