As a runner, AJ McCarron isn't going to be confused with Michigan's Denard Robinson or Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel, but is the Alabama quarterback's mobility underrated? "I don't think it really matters, because I'm not used as a runner," he said Tuesday after practice. But he scrambled Saturday for a 24-yard gain in a 49-0 victory over Western Carolina. Three weeks ago, he ran 9 yards up the middle for a touchdown at LSU. Two weeks ago, he scrambled away from what would have been a long loss for a 3-yard gain to the 2-yard line, but a fourth-down pass was intercepted on the next play, the decisive one in a 29-24 loss.
