I agree, but it makes it a bit misleading to word the stat specifically like that.
of course they had to throw in the "finished at Alabama" to exclude Jalen Hurts from the mix too.

I hate those inbred cocksuckers just as much as anyone else does, but finding obscure bullshit stats like that make it look like we're obsessed with those assholes.

I just think it's a gee whiz amusing bit of trivia.
Basically no RB or WR has scored in a Super Bowl. A less pedantic way of putting it.
I did enjoy learning that some gumps believe Joe Montana went to Bama.
The amount of triggered Bama fans by this trivia is... interesting. Almost like their anxiety over a crumbling dynasty is being projected through hypersensitivity to random nonsense.

Dynasty fading? Alabama installed as underdog for first time in 73 games

There’s been a lot of talk around college football lately wondering whether or not Nick Saban‘s Alabama dynasty is finally over. And while it’s too early to declare a verdict one way or another, it’s undeniable that the Crimson Tide armor Saban’s charges have worn into battle over the past eight seasons is beginning to show some rust.

First, consider Alabama is just 2-5 against Top 15 opponents since Auburn’s Kick Six in November 2013. You may not have known that stat, but the sharps in Vegas do. And on Sunday they installed No. 8 Georgia, not No. 13 Alabama, as early favorites as the Tide visit Athens on Saturday.

That ends an unprecedented streak of 72 straight games that Alabama was installed as a betting favorite. Alabama hasn’t stepped on the field as an underdog since the 2009 SEC Championship, a game the Tide won, 32-13.
