No. They play bump and run almost exclusively. It's Nick Saban's thing.

Quote: “I did backpedal,” Kirkpatrick said. “People just took it the wrong way. We played man-to-man mostly at Alabama, and it is what it is.”

And backpedaling out of the bump-and-run is crazy?
“Exactly,” Kirkpatrick said. “They understood basically what I was trying to say."

What he was trying to say is that Alabamacornerbacks are taught how to turn their hips and move their feet in bump-and-run coverage that is the rule far more than the exception with coach Nick Saban.
