  Richards stepped up as the Tigers' leading running back against the Crimson Tide by taking a career-high 14 carries for 57 yards in Auburn's 42-13 road loss. His emergence was a welcomed one not only after his brief Auburn career was slowed by injury, but after fellow running backs Tank Bigsby and D.J. Williams were limited due to injuries. Now, the mission for Richards is to make the most of the opportunity. "I was real proud of Mark. He came in there, and you can see he has some miss-ability. He can break tackles," Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn said. "That was good to get his feet wet and get him some experience there because our running back room is banged up right now. I think everybody knows that, but it's a really great opportunity for him. I talked to him about that after practice, but I thought he did a very good job in that fourth quarter." Richards' play in Tuscaloosa was a new highlight in a collegiate career that's had plenty of potential that's only been hampered due to injury. Richards arrived in Auburn as a four-star running back recruit who some anticipated could contribute early on as a true freshman in 2019. Those plans, however, didn't come to fruition. - Opelika-Auburn News
