2008 PREVIEW

The Alabama Crimson Tide returns 49 lettermen this season, 23 on offense, 23 on defense and three specialists. Back for their final seasons with the Tide are key seniors John Parker Wilson, who will be in the starting lineup at quarterback for the third straight year, All-SEC safety and team captain Rashad Johnson, who led the SEC in interceptions last season, and three-year starter and team captain Antoine Caldwell on the offensive line. With one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top freshman classes being added to the roster, the Tide will rely on this senior leadership throughout the 2008 season.

OFFENSE Alabama returns nine starters from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad on offense. Anchoring the Crimson Tide offensively will be the three-year starting quarterback John Parker Wilson. Wilson broke his own single-season school records in total plays, pass attempts, completions, passing yards and touchdown passes last season. The Tide also returns needed experience on the offensive line in the form of junior All-SEC tackle Andre Smith and senior team captain Antoine Caldwell. Although Mike McCoy returns to the starting lineup at wide receiver, there will still be holes to fill at that position after the departures of seniors D.J. Hall, Matt Caddell and Keith Brown. Other returning starters include OL Marlon Davis, OL Mike Johnson, TE Nick Walker, TE Travis McCall and RB Terry Grant.

DEFENSE On the defensive side of the ball the Crimson Tide brings back five starters. This group will be led by senior safety Rashad Johnson, who started all 13 games last season, was a First team All-SEC selection, team captain and led the SEC with six interceptions. His senior leadership will be vital to a young defensive backfield that consists of players such as sophomore corner Kareem Jackson, who was named to the All-SEC freshman First team by league coaches. At linebacker, one of the top young players in the league returns in sophomore Rolando McClain. McClain played in all 13 games last season as a true freshman and started eight of them. He was selected as a First team Sporting News Freshman AllAmerican and also as a First team Freshman All-SEC selection. The defensive line will be a point of emphasis for the Tide this season as they try and replace All-SEC defensive end Wallace Gilberry. UA returns two starters in junior Brandon Deaderick and junior Lorenzo Washington along with senior Bobby Greenwood, who saw time in the starting lineup last year before being sidelined by an injury.

ROLANDO McCLAIN

SPECIAL TEAMS The all-important special teams units from last season remain fully in place. Junior placekicker Leigh Tiffin returns to handle Alabama’s placekicking and kickoff duties. Last season, Tiffin was tied for seventh nationally with 1.92 field goals per game and led the SEC with 10 field goals of over 40 yards. Junior punter P.J. Fitzgerald has started every game for the Crimson Tide over the last two years. Senior long snapper Brian Selman is set to handle the Tide’s long snapping duties again in 2008. Electrifying return man Javier Arenas is back as the deep man on kickoff and punt returns this season for Alabama. Last season, Arenas had 27 kickoff returns for 657 yards and returned 21 punts for 323 yards and a touchdown to rank second in the Tide’s single-season return chart for both categories.

HEAD COACH NICK SABAN

A man of vision who has a proven record of championship success, University of Alabama head coach Nick Saban has brought to Alabama football a commitment to building the total program. His uncompromising dedication to excellence in every phase of the football program is sure to yield long-term success for the Crimson Tide. Saban has achieved resounding success as a head coach and has earned a reputation as an outstanding tactician, leader, organizer and motivator. Those qualities have sparked impressive turnarounds at every stop of his career. His teams have repeatedly exhibited grit, determination and resilience, often overcoming adversity to achieve victory. Sabanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consistent approach and disciplined leadership is a proven recipe for success.

Named the 27th head football coach in UA history on Wednesday, Jan. 3, 2007, Saban owns an overall record of 113-65-1 (.634) in 14 seasons as a head coach, having also led programs at Louisiana State (LSU), Michigan State and Toledo, as well as in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins. At each of his five stops, he has improved the win-loss record in his first year when compared to the previous season. Prior to Saban’s arrival, those teams posted a combined average winning percentage of .387. In the first season with Saban at the helm, a .617 winning percentage was achieved. Saban has compiled a 98-48-1 (.670) record as a college head coach after completing his first season at The University of Alabama. His first UA team finished 7-6 in 2007 with a win over Colorado in the Independence Bowl. Of the losses, none was by more than seven points. The future looks bright for Alabama under Saban, as the 2008 signing class was rated by many analysts as the best in the country. Off the field, the focus on academics by Saban and his staff made an immediate impact as the 2007 team put together one of the finest fall semesters in school history. The freshman class set a solid foundation for their future at UA as they led the way with an impressive combined GPA of 3.098 in the fall. Before arriving in Tuscaloosa, Saban’s most recent college head coaching stint was a five-season run at LSU which produced a record of 48-16 (.750), one national championship (2003), two Southeastern Conference championships, three SEC West Division championships, and a 3-2 record in bowl games including two Sugar Bowl victories and a Peach Bowl win. The Tigers constructed a 28-12 (.700) record against SEC opponents under Saban’s guidance. He was named the 2003 National Coach of the Year by the Associated Press and earned both the Paul W. “Bear” Bryant National Coach of the Year Award and the Eddie

Robinson Coach of the Year Award by the Football Writers Association of America. Saban was named SEC Coach of the Year twice (by The Birmingham News in 2001 and by the Associated Press in 2003). Saban took over the Alabama program after serving two seasons at the helm of the National Football League’s Miami Dolphins. Saban’s teams showed marked improvement over the unit he inherited. Tak-

ing over a team that finished 4-12 in 2004, Saban led the 2005 Dolphins to a 9-7 record, the third-biggest turnaround in the NFL that season and the second-highest victory turnaround for a Dolphins team in any non-strike season. Most impressively, the Dolphins finished 2005 on a six-game winning streak, the longest streak in the NFL that season. Prior to his stint at Miami, Saban’s impact on the LSU program transcended the success on the field. His commitment to building the total program, placing education first, instilling discipline and responsibility on and off the field transformed the Tigers into a force on the national stage. LSU produced 84 Academic All-SEC honorees in Saban’s five seasons, including 25 members of the 2003 national championship squad. LSU’s graduation rate for football players improved dramatically under his watch and two players, offensive tackle Rodney Reed (2002 and 2003) and offensive lineman Rudy Niswanger (2004) earned first-team Academic All-America honors. Linebacker Bradie James earned a post-graduate scholarship from the National Football Foundation in 2003. Saban also spearheaded a $15 million fundraising effort to fund a new academic center for student-athletes at LSU, and he and his players were active in community involvement in the Baton Rouge area, taking part in community service projects, visiting schools to mentor children and taking time to visit local hospitals on a regular basis. More than 50 of Saban’s LSU players earned their college degrees, in addition to 28 who were selected in the NFL draft, including seven in both 2004 and 2006. Named head coach at LSU on November 30, 1999, Saban led an immediate turnaround of a program that had suffered through seven losing seasons during the 1990s. His 48 victories over five seasons were the third-most among Division I-A head

coaches during that time. Saban, Paul Dietzel and current LSU head coach Les Miles are the only coaches in the program’s history to post multiple 10-win seasons. Saban, Dietzel and Bernie Moore are the only head coaches in Tiger history to win two SEC championships. Saban’s 2000 Tigers rebounded from two straight losing seasons to post an 8-4 season, capped by a 31-20 win over 15th-ranked Georgia Tech in the Peach Bowl. Home victories over Tennessee, Mississippi State and Alabama highlighted the season, along with a key road win at Ole Miss. The 2001 Tigers improved to 10-3 overall and won the program’s first outright SEC title since 1986 with a 31-20 win over second-ranked Tennessee in the SEC Championship game. An impressive second half against the Volunteers was a trademark of Saban’s coaching acumen as the Tigers outscored UT, 21-3, in the final half to erase a 17-10 deficit. The Tigers won the game despite the absence of starting quarterback Rohan Davey and running back LaBrandon Toefield. Sparked by one of the most prolific offenses in the nation, a unit that averaged 451.5 yards per game, the Tigers capped the season with a 47-34 defeat of Big Ten champion Illinois in the Sugar Bowl, LSU’s first victory in a New Year’s Day bowl game since 1968. Stifling defense was the trademark of the 2002 Tigers. LSU posted an 8-5 record and a second consecutive New Year’s Day bowl appearance. The Tigers, who faced Texas in the Cotton Bowl, held opponents to less than 275 yards per game through the season’s first six games and scored a school-record 30 or more points in six straight games that season. The Tigers barely missed winning a second consecutive SEC West Division title as a lastminute comeback by Arkansas in the regular season fi-

nale prevented LSU from another appearance in the SEC Championship game. That LSU team overcame the mid-season loss of starting quarterback Matt Mauck, free safety Damien James and Toefield in successive weeks to make a run at an SEC Western Division title. Saban’s team philosophy of “out of yourself and into the team” paid huge dividends in 2003. The Tigers produced a 13-1 record, won their second SEC championship and earned the school’s second national championship with a squad that was among the nation’s most dominant on both sides of the line of scrimmage. The LSU offense scored a school-record 475 points (33.9 points

per game) while holding 13-of-14 opponents to less than 20 points. LSU’s defense ranked first nationally in points allowed per game (11.0) and total defense (252.0 yards per game). After a 7-1 start, LSU ended the season with six dominating victories by an average margin of 35-10. An impressive 34-13 victory over Georgia in the SEC title game paved LSU’s way to an appearance in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) Championship Game against top-ranked Oklahoma. The Tigers produced a dominant defensive effort against the Sooners in the Sugar Bowl, limiting OU to 154 yards of total offense in a 21-14 victory.

HEAD COACH NICK SABAN

His final LSU team in 2004 overcame the loss of 13 players from the 2003 team who went on to NFL rosters, posting a 9-3 record while producing the SEC’s best rushing offense (200.7 yards per game). The Tiger defense ranked third nationally during the regular season in total defense (249.9 yards per game) and passing defense (145.4 yards per game), allowing only 15.9 points per contest. Over the last six games, the Tiger defense allowed only 12 points in the second half on the way to a berth in the Capital One Bowl in Orlando against Iowa. LSU’s fourth consecutive January bowl berth, a first for the Tiger program. Saban served as head coach at Michigan State from 1995-99, his second stint at the East Lansing school as he also spent 1983-87 as the Spartans’ defensive coordinator/secondary coach. After playing in just one bowl game in the previous four years, Michigan State made four postseason appearances in Saban’s five years at the helm. Saban led MSU to a 34-24-1 (.585) record.

In 1999, Saban led his final Spartans team to a No. 7 national ranking as MSU finished in a tie for second in the Big Ten. The Spartans defeated Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State in the same year for the first time since 1965 and record-

ed six wins at home for the first time since the 1912 season. The Spartans’ performance that year landed them a spot in the Citrus Bowl. The Spartans led the Big Ten in rushing defense (77.0 yards per game) and total

defense (299.0 yards per game) while ranking fifth nationally in rushing defense and 11th in total defense. The Spartans offense averaged 31.0 points per game. Saban was the first coach in school history to put the Spartans in postseason bowl games in each of his first three seasons as he led the Spartans to the Independence Bowl in 1995, the Sun Bowl in 1996 and the Aloha Bowl in 1997. Before joining the Spartans, Saban spent four seasons (1991-94) as defensive coordinator with the Cleveland Browns under head coach Bill Belichick. The Browns went from allowing the most points (462) in the NFL prior to Saban’s arrival to allowing the fewest points (204) in the league in 1994, the sixth-fewest points surrendered in NFL history at the time. In each of Saban’s four years guiding the Browns’ defense, they never permitted an average of more than 19.2 points per game. He built a reputation as one of the finest defensive coaches in the league and also was heavily involved in the

team’s player personnel and scouting process. Saban’s first head coaching position came at the University of Toledo in 1990, as he guided the Rockets to a record of 9-2 that year, finishing as cochampions of the Mid-American Conference. The Rockets ranked among the NCAA leaders in both total defense (12th at 284.8 yards) and scoring defense (16th at 16.2 points), and missed posting an undefeated record by a mere five points. Saban joined Toledo after serving as secondary coach with the Houston Oilers for two seasons under Jerry Glanville (1988-89), his first NFL coaching position. He quickly made an impact on the Oilers’ defense, as the team’s secondary tied for fourth in the AFC in 1988 with 21 interceptions and tied for second in the conference in 1989 with 22. In his first stint at Michigan State, Saban served as secondary coach and defensive coordinator under George Perles from 1983 through 1987. Saban played an integral part in helping the Spartans to three postseason bowl appearances, including a Big Ten championship in 1987 and a 20-17 victory over Southern California in the 1988 Rose Bowl. Michigan State led the nation in rushing defense in 1987, allowing only 61.2 yards per game, and ranked second in scoring defense, permitting just 12.4 points. A native of Fairmont, W.Va., Saban is a 1973 graduate of Kent State University where he earned a bachelor’s degree in business. He earned a master’s degree in sports administration from Kent State in 1975. Born October 31, 1951, Saban and his wife, the former Terry Constable, have two children, Nicholas and Kristen. Saban co-authored Tiger Turnaround in 2001, a book documenting his first two years as head coach at LSU, and co-authored How Good Do You Want to Be in 2005, a book that offers real-life principles for success at work and at home. In addition to work as fund-raisers for LSU’s Student-Athlete Academic Center, the Sabans supported several charitable and civic projects in Louisiana. The largest of those efforts was with the Children’s Miracle Network, for which Terry and Nick raised more than $100,000 per year for children. At Michigan State, the Sabans started the Nick’s Kids Fund, which they have continued in Tuscaloosa, a vibrant example of their continuing concern for disadvantaged children. Since Nick and Terry arrived in Tuscaloosa last spring, more than $540,000 has been distributed to more than 115 charities through the Nick’s Kids Fund. In June of 2008, the Sabans announced a $1 million gift to benefit Alabama’s first-generation scholarship program. The gift has a special meaning to the Sabans as both Nick and Terry were both first-generation graduates. The University of Alabama will include the Sabans’ donation in a scholarship challenge program, which could help double or triple the total contribution to first-generation scholarships.

NICK’S KIDS CHARITIES

Nickʼs Kids Fund has raised over $500,000 for local charities in the past two years thanks to the success of the annual Nickʼs Kids golf tournament, speaking engagements and donations. Since the Sabans arrived in Tuscaloosa, more than 115 charities have received aid through the organization. Nick and Terry started the Nickʼs Kids Fund when they were at Michigan State to honor his fatherʼs (Nick Saban, Sr.) legacy of helping children.

IN THE COMMUNITY

“When we travel throughout the state we recognize names and faces who share the same goal - to make the University of Alabama the very best it can be in every regard - on the field, in the classroom and in the eyes of the nation one day at a time. Thank you to all of the supporters and the University of Alabama community. Roll Tide!” -- TERRY SABAN Terry Saban plays a vital role in many community outreach programs. She personally collected money on the Quad before 2007ʼs A-Day game for the Enterprise tornado relief fund. Prior to the 2008 A-Day game, Terry helped collect money for the universityʼs libraries. In June of this year, Nick and Terry pledged $1 million to the universityʼs scholarship fund and earmarked it for first-generation college students. Terry also plays an important role in the planning of many of the events for causes including the Nickʼs Kids Fund. Her eagerness to give back and her tireless devotion to help others is what makes Terry Saban one of the most admired members of the Crimson Tide family.

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH / RUNNING BACKS Burton Burns is in his second season with the Crimson Tide football program as associate head coach and running backs coach. In his first year at Alabama, Burns helped first-year tailback Terry Grant set school records for rushing yards (891) and touchdowns (8) in a season. Grant was a three-time SEC Freshman of the Week honoree, and was named to the SEC All-Freshman team as well as the Sporting News Freshman All-American team (honorable mention). An assistant coach at Clemson University for eight seasons before coming to Alabama, Burns was a major factor in producing six of the top 10 offenses in Clemson history as running backs coach for the Tigers. Burns tutored star runners such as 2005 ACC Rookie of the Year James Davis, 2006 freshman record-setter C.J. Spiller, Reggie Merriweather, Travis Zachery and Duane Coleman at Clemson and former New York Jet Jerald Sowell at Tulane. In 2006, Davis led the Tigers with 1,187 rushing yards on 203 carries and scored 17 touchdowns, while Spiller had 938 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns.

A native of New Orleans, La., Burns spent eight seasons with head coach Tommy Bowden at Clemson after a four-year stint at Tulane that concluded with a 12-0 season in 1998. Over 14 seasons as a college assistant coach, Burns has regularly produced versatile running backs that have been effective in every phase of the game. His players have proven to be equally effective as pass catchers, as well as in the running game. Burns spent nine seasons as assistant head coach and offensive coordinator at Saint Augustine High School in New Orleans, La., before joining Bowden’s staff at Tulane. Burns helped lead Saint Augustine to district titles in 1987, 1992 and 1993, his second stint at the school.

McElwain is the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Crimson Tide after serving in the same role at Fresno State last year. He spent the 2006 season in the NFL as quarterbacks coach for the Oakland Raiders. McElwain made an immediate impact in his first season at Fresno State as he helped lead the Bulldogs to a 9-4 record, a significant turnaround from the previous year in which Fresno State posted a 4-8 mark. McElwain’s offense at Fresno State averaged 419.5 yards-pergame (38th nationally) and 32.9 points-per-game (32nd) last season. That was a significant increase from the 2006 campaign when the Bulldogs averaged 338.2 yards-per-game in total offense and 23.0 points-per-game in terms of scoring offense. After Fresno State rolled up 571 yards of total offense and defeated Georgia Tech 40-28 in the Humanitarian Bowl, McElwain moved up to No. 18 in the Rivals.com national power rankings (offensive coaches). His quarterback, Tom Brandstater, finished 2007 with a passing efficiency rating of 140.5, which ranked 23rd in the country. Brandstater showed remarkable improvement under McElwain’s watch as he had posted a pass efficiency rating of 106.7 (89th) the previous year. McElwain served as the assistant head coach, receivers coach and special teams coach at Michigan State from 2003-05. The 2003 team reached the Alamo Bowl behind a receiving corps that set school records for receptions (312) and yards (3,510). He coached 2004 AllAmerica punter Brandon Fields and kicker Dave Rayner, who led the Big Ten Conference in scoring. In 2005, five Spartan receivers had at least 28 receptions and the group combined to a set another school record with 24 touchdown catches. Prior to his stint at Michigan State, McElwain spent three seasons (2000-02) at Louisville as the receivers coach and special teams coach as the Cardinals earned bowl bids in each of those three seasons. He coached four first-team All-Conference USA selections at Louisville and also tutored three of the Cardinals’ all-time leading receivers, including Deion Branch and Arnold Jackson. From 1995-99, McElwain was the offensive coordinator, quarterbacks and receivers coach at Montana State. Under his direction, quarterback Rob Compson threw for nearly 7,000 career yards and a school-record 54 touchdowns. McElwain also coached the Bobcats’ all-time leading receiver Chip Hobbs, who caught 144 career passes for 2,060 yards and 18 TDs. Montana State led the Big Sky Conference in scoring in 1998, averaging 31.6 points per game. McElwain was at Eastern Washington from 1985-94 in a variety of capacities, starting as a graduate assistant and working his way up to quarterbacks and receivers coach. The Eagles made two NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearances (1992 and 1995) and earned a share of the Big Sky Championship in 1992. McElwain coached EWU’s all-time leading receiver, Tony Brooks (2,969 career yards), who earned third team AP All-America honors in 1993. An all-state quarterback at Missoula (Montana) Sentinel High School, McElwain played quarterback at Eastern Washington from 1980-83 and earned his degree in Education from EWU in 1984.

ASSISTANT COACHES

JOE PENDRY

ASSISTANT HEAD COACH / OFFENSIVE LINE A veteran coach with impressive credentials from the pro and college ranks, Joe Pendry is in his second year at Alabama serving as assistant head coach for offense and offensive line coach. Pendry’s experience was an immediate factor in his first season with the Crimson Tide as tackle Andre Smith earned first-team AllSEC honors and was awarded the Jacobs Blocking Trophy as the league’s top offensive lineman.

Ronnie Brown led the team with 907 yards rushing, second-most among NFL rookies in 2005 and the second-highest total ever by a Dolphins rookie. Brown followed that up with 1,008 yards in 2006, which marked the first time a player in the franchise had rushed for 900 or more yards in each of his first two seasons. Williams served as the associate head coach/wide receivers coach at LSU in 2004 where he coached a pair of future NFL first round picks in Craig Davis and Dwayne Bowe.

In addition to this year, UA had the most students on the list in 2006 with six and in 2005 and 2003, both with five. In 2007, UA tied with Washington University-St. Louis for the most team members with four. In 2004, with four students on the team, UA came in second only to Harvard. Pictured (L-R) are Renee Rivas, Jackson Switzer, Dana Lewis, Dylan Whisenhunt, Adam Harbison, Michelle McGaha and Alex Flachsbart.

“The University of Alabama has never been stronger. Our academic programs continue to prosper. Almost one quarter of this yearʼs entering freshman class enrolled in Honors College. This group scored in the top 2 percent nationally on the ACT, and they have extraordinarily strong high school records. The research activity of our faculty has grown significantly and our service to our community and state has never been more substantial. Our capital campaign continues to make excellent progress toward our $500 million goal which will be surpassed ahead of schedule. The future of our University is very bright.”

-- President Dr. Robert E. Witt

ATHLETICS DIRECTOR MAL MOORE As a permanent tribute to Director of Athletics Mal Moore’s lifetime contributions to The University of Alabama, the Board of Trustees of The University of Alabama officially dedicated the facility formerly known as the Football Building as the Mal M. Moore Athletic Facility on March 28, 2007. Normally, the naming of a building in your honor would serve as a fitting end to an outstanding career, but Mal Moore’s ongoing vision remains focused on two primary objectives: elevating athletic facilities at the Capstone to premier status nationally for all sports and making all Crimson Tide athletic teams competitive at the highest level nationally. Moore’s distinguished record of service to UA began almost 50 years ago when he joined the Crimson Tide football squad as a scholarship player for Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant from 1958-62. He earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology in 1963 and a master’s in secondary education in 1962. Moore has the distinction of earning seven national championship rings during his career as a player and coach, the first as a member of the Crimson Tide’s 1961 national championship team. During his coaching tenure, Moore served as Coach Bryant’s graduate assistant in 1964, then as defensive backfield coach for five years beginning in 1965 before becoming quarterbacks coach from 1971-1982, and taking on additional responsibility as the Tide’s first offensive coordinator in 1975. He is the only individual connected with the Alabama coaching staffs, both past and present, to be a part of seven national championships (1961, 1964, 1965, 1973, 1978, 1979, and 1992). After coaching stops at Montana State, Notre Dame and the NFL’s St. Louis and Phoenix Cardinals, Moore returned to Alabama, and was named assistant athletics director in 1993 and associate director for external affairs in 1994. He was named director of athletics on Nov. 23, 1999. Three elements of his story make Mal Moore deserving of a special place in UA athletics history. First, he has been a part of seven national championship football teams (as a player and coach). Second, he’s been the leader who brought the UA athletic program into the 21st century in terms of facilities and staffing. Third and, perhaps most importantly, his love for the University of Alabama is unsurpassed. Now in his 10th year as the Tide’s Director of Athletics, Moore made an indelible mark on one of the nation’s most storied athletic programs. Alabama’s athletic teams have excelled in competition and he directed completion of a $125 million facilities campaign that revitalized the Crimson Tide’s athletic facilities. Moore’s leadership, vision and initiative enabled the monumental project to reach fruition. Alabama football competes in the newly expanded Bryant-Denny Stadium which holds 92,138 fans, the eighth-largest on campus facility in the nation. With the north end zone expansion completed, this magnificent edifice now houses 120 skyboxes, a new home team locker room, a club level area hosting 1,680 patrons, a new administrative level and ap-

Athletics Director Mal Moore The University of Alabama proximately 6,800 additional upper deck seats. Moore’s tenure at UA has been marked by unprecedented facility growth for the athletic department but he has also had a national impact as a key member of several prestigious NCAA and college football committees. Moore currently serves on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee, the SEC Athletic Directors Bowl Advisory Committee and on the Big Six Conferences Minority Coaches Forum. Alabama student-athletes utilize new stadiums for soccer and tennis and football enjoys use of a state-of-the-art weight facility, locker room and sports medicine area and a Hall of Champions and administrative area that makes it one of top venues in the nation. Crimson Tide student-athletes also benefit from a state-of-the-art academic center completed in early 2005. Also completed in 2005 was a $22 million renovation of Coleman Coliseum. Moore’s leadership was crucial in helping guide Alabama through a period was, at times, extremely difficult. His guidance and efforts helped Alabama athletics weather the storm, while continuing to move in a positive direction toward a future that holds great promise to shine as brightly as Alabama’s storied past. Under Moore’s direction Alabama’s athletic teams have produced a number of Southeastern Conference titles, including men’s basketball, gymnastics, baseball and softball and SEC tournament titles in both baseball and softball, and an NCAA gymnastics title. Alabama athletes have earned some of the highest honors the SEC and NCAA have to offer, including SEC Athlete of the Year, SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year, NCAA Top VIII, NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships and

NCAA Sportsperson of the Year. These honors are over and above the individual conference and national titles that Alabama athletes continue to bring home to the Capstone. During his tenure, Moore has also supervised the completion of a number of other facility projects, highlighted by the expansion of Sewell-Thomas Stadium; new lighting systems for Coleman Coliseum, SewellThomas Stadium and the women’s soccer field and installation of new artificial turf in the Hank Crisp Indoor Practice Facility. Hired on November 23, 1999, Moore’s stint as Director of Athletics is the latest phase of service to the Capstone. Well known in athletic circles, Moore stewards a vision of championships and success via his vast experience in collegiate athletics. As a player and coach at Alabama, Moore was part of seven national championships, 14 SEC championships, and 27 bowl trips. Alabama capitalized on that background, and Moore’s popularity, by naming him as Associate Athletics Director for External Affairs in 1994, a position that required constant travel to speaking engagements around the Southeast. Throughout his multi-faceted career, Moore has worked with a diversified field of constituents, from fellow coaches to former players, to fans and the business community. All those experiences and relationships made him the ideal person to lead Alabama athletics into the 21st century. A 1963 graduate of The University of Alabama, Moore holds both an undergraduate degree in Sociology and a 1964 Master’s Degree in Secondary Education from the Capstone. A scholarship player for Coach Paul W. “Bear” Bryant, Moore was a member of Alabama’s 1961 national championship team. Coaching football for 31 years, 22 of those at Alabama, provided Moore with a wealth of experience and knowledge in the world of college athletics. As a coach, Moore served as Bryant’s graduate assistant in 1964 and then Alabama’s defensive backfield coach from 1965-70. He served as the Tide’s quarterbacks coach from 1971-82 and from 1975-82 took on the additional responsibility and elevated role as the Tide’s offensive coordinator. Alabama won national championships, in 1964, 1965, 1973, 1978, 1979 and 1992 with Moore coordinating all the offensive plays for the last four of those championship teams. He is the only man connected with the Alabama coaching staffs, past or present, who was a member of all seven of those title squads. In addition to Alabama, his coaching career included stops at Montana State, Notre Dame and the NFL’s Phoenix Cardinals. Moore was born December 19, 1939, in Dozier, Ala. He has been married to the former Charlotte Davis of Tuscaloosa since July 20, 1968. They have one daughter, Mrs. Steve (Heather) Cook of Scottsdale, Ariz., a granddaughter, Anna Lee, and a grandson, Charles Cannon.

COMPLIANCE WHO IS A REPRESENTATIVE OF ALABAMA INTERESTS? Someone who:

• Has ever made any type of financial or in-kind contribution to the athletics department, to a specific sport program or to an athletics booster organization,including purchasing donor seating to athletics events (i.e., Tide Pride Football or Tide Pride Basketball) • Is or has been a member of any organization or agency promoting University of Alabama athletics (i.e., Red Elephant Club, Grand Slammers, etc.); • Has ever helped to arrange or has provided employment for an enrolled student-athlete, a prospective student-athlete or their parents or relatives; • Has ever assisted in any manner in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes; • Has ever provided benefits to enrolled student-athletes or their families or to prospective student-athletes or their families; • Has otherwise promoted the institutionʼs athletics program in any manner.

What About Recruiting?

As a representative of Alabamaʼs athleticsʼ interests, you may not: • contact a prospectʼs coach, principal or counselor in an effort to evaluate a prospect • visit the prospectʼs institution to pick up film or transcripts pertaining to the evaluation of the prospectʼs academic eligibility or athletic ability • contact a prospect, his/her parents, legal guardians or spouse on or off the Alabama campus • contact a prospect by telephone or by letter • make special arrangements for entertainment for recruiting purposes • provide reduced cost products or services to a prospect

Who is a Prospective Student-Athlete?

NCAA rules stipulate that a prospective student-athlete is a person who has started classes for the ninth (9th) grade, regardless of his/her athletics ability. • A prospective student-athlete remains a prospect even after he or she has signed a National Letter of Intent or accepts an offer of financial aid to attend The University of Alabama until he/she reports for the first day of classes for a regular term (fall or spring).

What are Extra Benefits?

NCAA legislation expressly prohibits University supporters from providing “extra benefits” to student-athletes. An extra benefit is any special arrangement to provide a student-athlete or his/her family a benefit not authorized by NCAA legislation. In general, you may not provide anything or make special arrangements for student-athletes or prospective student-athletes that are not available to the general student population. Examples of prohibited “extra benefits” include, but are not limited to: • providing cash or loans in any amount, or signing or co-signing for a loan • a guarantee of bond • the use of an automobile • gifts of any kind, including birthday cards, flowers and holiday gifts • gift of clothing or equipment • providing loans to relatives or friends

• any tangible items, including merchandise • free or reduced-cost services, rentals or purchases of any type • free or reduced-cost housing • gift of cash or like items • providing special discounts for goods and services (e.g., car repairs, legal services, haircuts, etc.) • purchasing complimentary admissions from a student-athlete • providing an honorarium to a student-athlete for a speaking engagement

What about Student-Athlete Appearances & Promotions?

Student-athletes are prohibited from being involved in the advertisement, recommendation or promotion of sales or use of any commercial product or service of any kind. All charitable, educational and nonprofit promotional activities involving student-athletes must have prior approval from the athletics department. All student-athlete appearances for such events are coordinated through Bamaʼs Life Skills Office. For information, please call (205) 348-6618.

What about Student-Athlete Employment?

Student-athletes receiving athletics grants-in-aid will be eligible for employment during the regular academic year. Student-athletes will continue to be eligible for employment during the Universityʼs official vacation periods (i.e., Christmas, Spring Break) and during the summer. Very detailed rules regarding which student-athletes may be employed, when and how much money they can earn must be followed. In addition, the Compliance Office must keep written records verifying all student-athlete employment. If you have an interest in hiring a student-athlete, you must first contact the Universityʼs Compliance Office prior to employing the student-athlete. Failure to contact the Compliance Office prior to employing a studentathlete could jeopardize the student-athleteʼs eligibility to participate in intercollegiate athletics at Alabama and could result in an NCAA violation for the student-athleteʼs sport.

What are the rules governing gambling?

A student-athlete, coach and/or employee of The University of Alabama may not provide information to individuals involved in any type of organized gambling concerning sporting events. In addition, student- athletes, coaches and employees of The University of Alabama may not solicit or accept any wager on any intercollegiate or professional athletics contest.

What are the consequences to boosters for NCAA violations? The University of Alabama is required by NCAA regulations to notify boosters of consequences regarding rules violations. Boosters found in violation of NCAA rules are subject to losing benefits and privileges, including season tickets.

THIS IS ALABAMA In 1838 the University of Alabama Board of Trustees appropriated funds for a more suitable residence for the University始s new president, Basil Manly. The mansion was built between 1839 and 1841. According to tradition, Louisa Frances Garland, wife of president Landon C. Garland, valiantly saved the stately residence from destruction when Union troops destroyed the campus in April 4, 1865. The mansion, which has undergone a number of restorations, assumed its predominately white appearance in 1908.

FACILITIES

104

Housed inside the Mal M. Moore Athletic Facility is the 10,000 square-foot equipment facility. A state-ofthe-art operation, the equipment area uses the latest in purifying plasma engineering (RCI) developed by NASA. The system removes the airborne germs and debris that are harmful to athletes and restores clean, breathable air to the room. The same system is installed in the lockerrooms, as well as inside each locker, removing any lockerroom odors and allowing shoulder pads and other equipment proper ventilation.

105

FACILITIES

Bill McDonald serves as the Director of Sports Medicine for the University of Alabama. The full-time football staff includes Head Foootball Trainer Jeff Allen, Rodney Brown, Ginger Gilmore and Jeremy Gsell.

106

Alabama ensures the safety of its athletes by assigning at least one athletic trainer to each team to cover home and away events, conditioning, practice and travel.

Even with the most physically conditioned athletes, injury can occur. The University of Alabama has a full staff of doctors and athletic trainers ready to lend their expertise to any medical situation so Alabama始s athletes can return to play in peak condition as soon as possible.

107

FACILITIES

The Tide始s 22,000 square-foot weight room consists of 24 platforms attached to state-of-the-art racks with Eliko bars for power cleans, snatches, back squats, front squats, split jerks and bench press. The mural around the inside of the facility depicts more than 100 years of football and is also displayed on two walls of the football press box.

108

The Tideʼs conditioning program under head coach Nick Saban is appropriately called, “The Fourth Quarter Conditioning Program”. It prepares players to play 60 minutes of football - and more if needed.

Football in the South can be a grueling experience, especially when temperatures in the summer and early fall reach the century mark. That is why conditioning is such an important part of Alabamaʼs off-season program.

Maximizing potential is the goal of the conditioning program at The University of Alabama. Under Coach Saban and his staff, players can reach and surpass their highest expectations. The Crimson Tideʼs indoor facility allows the team to conduct practice as usual during inclement weather.

109

FACILITIES

The design of the University of Alabama equipment room was based on similar areas from professional franchises. Space-saver shelving allows equipment managers easy access to athletic gear in first-class storage. The Tide uses state-of-the-art washers and dryers with a computerized detergent system that allows large loads of clothes to be cleaned quickly while saving time and energy.

111

FACILITIES

Paul W. Bryant Academic Center

From the moment a recruit first walks on to the campus to the moment an athlete graduates with diploma in hand, the academic services provided are outstanding. For the first year at the Capstone, freshmen and junior college transfers are required to attend nightly study halls. After that, the attendance is based on the individual始s GPA and study needs.

112

The CASS staff works as a liaison between the Athletic Department, undergraduate divisions, and administrative office of the university. The staff offers career advice and counseling, makes sure all athletes are maintaining satisfactory progress toward their degrees and monitors academic eligibility.

All of these services begin with the recruit始s first visit. The advisors set up individual appointments within the department of the recruit始s area of study and accompany them to the meeting. They give the recruit a tour of the campus and go over services provided by CASS.

Originally dedicated on May 8, 1965, Bryant Hall served as the home for Crimson Tide football and menʼs basketball players for over three decades. Constructed for $1 million in 1963-64 and equipped with rooms for 136 athletes and a dining hall to feed 150, Bryant Hall was one of the finest athletic dorms in its time. Named for then-athletic director and head football coach Paul W. “Bear” Bryant, it was the first building in the state of Alabama named for a living person. In 2004, following 18 months of interior redesign, Bryant Hall – the dorm – was transformed into the Paul W. Bryant Academic Center. More than just fresh paint and new carpeting, Bryant Hall has been converted into a state-of-the-art academic facility that covers 52,300 square feet and features some of the most modern technology to benefit all of the more than 425 Crimson Tide student-athletes. Among the buildingʼs many new amenities is a 48-seat computer lab equipped with brand new equipment. The computer lab has 25 laptop computers available for student-athletes to check out and use on team road trips. The building features math, English and writing labs along with 40 individual study rooms. A pair of 50-seat classrooms and a 140-seat lecture hall is also available. The classrooms in Bryant Hall possess some cutting edge teaching devices as well, including digital overhead projectors and “smart boards” that allow instructors to interact with students on the go. Throughout the building there are 16 information stations that can provide student-athletes with news about tutorials, study sessions and even practice schedules. There are also several student lounges located around the premises, giving student-athletes a more relaxed place to gather and study.

115

FACILITIES

The newly renovated Bryant Hall houses everything that a student-athlete could need. The apartments are spacious and equipped with kitchenettes, tile bathrooms, lots of counter space and high ceilings. (Right) Bryant Grille is a full service eatery open for breakfast, lunch and dinner in a sports environment with flat screen televisions.

FERGUSON CENTER The Ferguson Center is the community center of The University of Alabama. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fergâ&#x20AC;? houses an impressive array of services and facilities including: *Alabama Credit Union *Art gallery *ATM machines *Ballroom *Career Center *Computer Lab *Crimson Copies *Dean of Students *Food Court *Game room/arcade *Hair Techniques

*Information desk *Meeting, reception, banquet rooms *Student Judicial Affairs *Student organization offices *Theater *University Supply Store *U.S. Post Office *Volunteer Services

The Ferguson Center, completed in 1973, was named for Hill Ferguson, a member of the Board of Trustees. Plans at the time called for the building to be constructed over Woods Hall, but it was built just to the north thanks to a student campaign to save the art building.

The Ferguson Center Game Room located on the First Floor is the perfect place to unwind, test your skill at a video game, play a friendly game of pool or ping-pong, or enter a campus tournament. With seven pool tables, video games, a ping-pong table, computer gaming and televisions, the Game Room offers a fun escape to the daily pressures of college life.

GAMEDAY ON THE QUAD

120

The Quad is the heart of the UA campus in more ways than one. Its central location means most students enjoy it on a daily basis. And the Quad始s scenic beauty is special to all who experience it. Students use the Quad for activities from tossing a frisbee or football to finding a quiet place to study, or just to enjoy a few minutes of serenity on the way to class.

Buried beneath the Quad are the ruins of several buildings that were burned during the Civil War. The Mound on the northwest side of the Quad is the site of the old Franklin Hall dorm. But on football Saturdays, the Quad is the main area for tailgating and socializing before and after the games. The vast array of food vendors and children始s play areas as well as the big-screen televisions make tailgating fun for everyone.

ALABAMA IN THE COMMUNITY

The Crimson Tide players regularly give back to the city of Tuscaloosa and the surrounding areas through various community service programs. Alabama athletes take time out of their hectic schedules to read to children, speak at local churches or to just stop by a hospital to brighten the day of patients. Javier Arenas (top left and right) along with Baron Huber (far right) are regular participants when the Crimson Tide players speak to children at area schools.

122

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think community service is extremely important and I love doing it. It is probably more of a reward for me when I get to see the kids and the smiles on their faces. We are in a position where they look up to us and we can speak on the importance of getting an education and making good choices.â&#x20AC;? - Rolando McClain (pictured above)

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Tradition “To have a tradition like ours means that you can’t lose your cool; to have tradition like ours means that you always have to show class, even when you are not quite up to it; to have tradition like ours means that you have to do some things that you don’t want to do and some you even think you can’t do, simply because tradition demands it of you. On the other hand, tradition is that which allows us to prevail in ways that we could not otherwise.” — David Matthews, former University of Alabama President

Alabama’s football program is widely recognized as one of the best in the nation and has been honored by Lindy’s Southeastern Football as that magazine’s SEC “Program of the Century” . The Tide squad of 1979 was selected “Team of the Century”. In a story by CollegeFootballNews. com, Alabama had seven teams selected among the SEC’s Top 20 best teams of all-time. Selected No. 1 was the Tide team of 1930; second was the 1961 team; fourth was the 1925 squad and fifth was the 1979 team. Alabama’s undefeated team of 1992 was 10th, the 1978 squad was 14th and the 1973 team was 18th. Tennessee was next in the CollegeFootballNews.com poll with three teams, while Florida, LSU, Georgia and Auburn had two each. Ole Miss and Arkansas had one team among the top 20. In Lindy’s “Program of the Century” selections, Alabama’s 1966 team was chosen the century’s No. 3 team and the 1925 and 1992 teams were tied for fifth place. Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant was Coach of the Century and Don Hutson, Ozzie Newsome, John Hannah, Billy Neighbors, Lee Roy Jordan, Cornelius Bennett and Antonio Langham were first-team, All-Century selections. Landing on the second team were Dwight Stephenson, Marty Lyons, Derrick Thomas and Don McNeal. Jimmy Hyams, writing for Lindy’s, said the 1979 team was “the best of Paul Bryant’s teams - which is really saying something, considering “The

WHY THE TIDE? In early newspaper accounts of Alabama football, the team was simply listed as the “varsity” or the “Crimson White” after the school colors. The first nickname to become popular and used by headline writers was the “Thin Red Line.” The nickname was used until 1906. The name “Crimson Tide” is supposed to have first been used by Hugh Roberts, former sports editor of The Birmingham Age-Herald. He used “Crimson Tide” in describing an Alabama-Auburn game played in Birmingham in 1907, the last football contest between the two schools until 1948 when the series was resumed. The game was played in a sea of mud and Auburn was a heavy favorite to win. But, evidently, the “Thin Red Line” played a great game in the red mud and held Auburn to a 6-6 tie, thus gaining the name “Crimson Tide.” Zipp Newman, former sports editor of The Birmingham News, probably popularized the name more than any other writer.

Bear” won six national championships in his quarter century at Alabama. The ‘79 team rolled to a 12-0 record behind a balanced attack that closed out its national championship season with a 24-9 victory over Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl. “The Tide shutout five of its opponents during this season and never allowed an opponent to score more than 18 points. The secondary was key to the Tide’s success, with Tommy Wilcox and Jim Bob Harris the mainstays. Hyams went on to write that “you could argue that Alabama isn’t just the program of the century in the SEC, but

in all of college football. The Crimson Tide claims 12 national championships. It has played and won more bowl games than any college team. It has won 21 SEC championships, eight more than any other team. You can thank “Bear” for much of the Crimson Tide’s success.” The Tide’s 1966 team didn’t win a national title, but should have, Hyams wrote. Bama allowed just 44 points in 11 games that season. The 1925 team was the first southern team to play in the Rose Bowl as the Tide went 10-0 and won a national championship. Under Gene Stallings in 1992, the Centennial of Alabama football, Alabama went 13-0, won the firstever SEC Championship game and then beat Miami in the Sugar Bowl to ice the unanimous national championship. That team led the nation in rushing defense, allowing just 55 yards per game on the ground.

HISTORY OF THE TIDE.... Alabama’s first game was played in Birmingham on Friday afternoon, Nov. 11, 1892, at the old Lakeview Park. Opposition was furnished by a picked team from Professor Taylor’s school and Birmingham high schools, with Alabama winning, 56-0. Early teams were a bit tougher than current squads, it seems, as the following afternoon Alabama played the Birmingham Athletic Club, losing 5-4 when Ross, of B.A.C., kicked a 65-yard field goal. Impossible though it may seem, this field goal was listed as a collegiate record at one time and Birmingham papers of the day featured its distance in writeups of the game. The gridiron sport rapidly caught the students’ fancy and the game became a favorite with University athletes. In 1896 the University’s board of trustees passed a rule forbidding athletic teams from traveling off the campus. The following season only one game was played and in 1898 football was abandoned at Alabama. Student opposition to the ruling was so strong that the trustees lifted the travel ban and football was resumed in 1899, to continue without interruption until the first World War forced cancellation of the 1918 games. UA first gained national recognition in 1922 when the University of Pennsylvania was defeated, 9-7, in Philadelphia. The following season Wallace Wade became head coach and in 1925 led the Crimson Tide to its first undefeated and untied season and its first Rose Bowl invitation. On Jan. 1, 1926, an unheralded, underrated team from Tuscaloosa came from behind to upset Washington, 20-19, in the Rose Bowl and establish a precedent of colorful play that Crimson Tide teams have continued to uphold into a new century.

Bryant-Denny Stadium opened in 1929, and was originally named Denny Stadium, in honor of former Alabama president George Hutchenson Denny. However, the stadiumĘźs name was amended to Bryant-Denny Stadium in 1975 after the Alabama legislature chose to honor famed Alabama coach Paul â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bearâ&#x20AC;? Bryant as a partial namesake. The stadium, by capacity, is the second largest sporting events venue in the state, with the largest being the Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega, Ala. (capacity: 143,231).

Denny Stadium opened on September 28, 1929 and was officially dedicated the following week at Homecoming ceremonies against the Ole Miss Rebels, a game the Tide would go on to win 22-7. Originally, the stadium had a capacity of 12,000 people. Night or day, Alabama fans fill the stadium when their team takes the field. The Crimson Tide has sold out 23 consecutive games dating back to 2004

ALABAMA IN THE NFL

Monk Mosley (far left), Ed Salem (14), Johnny August (9) and Harry Gilmer (52) all played or were drafted to play professional football. August was the first Alabama player taken in 1945, in what would prove to be the Tideʼs richest draft ever. A total of 10 members of the Crimson Tide were taken by pro teams that year. (Also pictured, Gordon Pettus, far right)

The NFL Draft The format of the NFL draft has changed many times since the first draft of players on February 8, 1936, at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Philadelphia. The first player chosen was Heisman Trophy winner Jay Berwanger from the University of Chicago. But Berwanger never signed with either the Eagles, who selected him, or the Bears, after they traded for his rights. Instead, the first player drafted who did play, was actually the number two pick, halfback Riley Smith of Alabama, who was selected by the Boston Redskins. Here, courtesy of the NFL, is a listing of Alabama players who have been drafted by the NFL. Listed is the playerʼs name, team and selection/ round taken/overall pick. (F) indicates a “future pick.”

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

The 1965 edition of the Alabama Crimson Tide got off to a slow start, losing its first game of the season to Georgia 18-17. However, the Crimson Tide quickly rebounded with wins over Tulane, Ole Miss and Vanderbilt. Alabama finished off the season with a 30-3 thumping of in-state rival Auburn. This victory also gave the Crimson Tide the SEC title, their second in a row. The Crimson Tide始s season earned them a No. 4 ranking and an invitation to the 1966 Orange Bowl where they would face the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The national title seemed a long shot for both teams but with number one Michigan State falling to UCLA in the Rose Bowl and number two Arkansas losing to LSU in the Cotton Bowl earlier in the day, it appeared that the outcome of the Orange Bowl would decide the national champion. The two teams traded blows for much of the game but the arm of Steve Sloan proved too much for the Huskers. Sloan went 20-of-28 passing to break the Orange Bowl pass completion record set just one year earlier by fellow Tide quarterback Joe Namath. Sloan finished the game with 296 passing yards, also setting an Orange Bowl standard and giving Alabama a 39-28 victory and the 1965 national championship.

162

It was the first meeting ever between the two giants of college football and the game was promoted so heavily even the fans tired of all the advance publicity. It was â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Gameâ&#x20AC;? of all-time in a lot of ways, and it certainly lived up to every inch of newspaper space and moment of radio-TV air time. Notre Dame won, 24-23, in one of the all-time classics of college football. It had everything you could want in a football game and Notre Dame vaulted from third to first in the final AP rankings. Alabama had finished first in both polls in the regular season and remained the UPI champ. Seldom do games live up to all the advance and frenzied billing. But when Ara Parseghian of Notre Dame and Bear Bryant of Alabama unleashed two of the finest college teams in history onto the Sugar BowlĘźs soggy artificial turf, this game caught the fancy of the entire football world.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

Coach Bryantʼs 1978 Alabama Crimson Tide squad started off the season with a convincing 20-3 win over the Nebraska Cornhuskers in front of a packed house in Birmingham. Alabama would go on to win 11 games in ʼ78. The only loss of the season came at the hands of the USC Trojans in Birmingham in a 14-28 battle. Alabama then tore through eight straight opponents on its way to a No. 2 ranking and a bid to play in the 1979 Sugar Bowl against Joe Paternoʼs No. 1-ranked Penn State Nittany Lions. The game was close and physical all the way to the end with Alabama outgaining Penn State on the ground 208-19 and Penn State outgaining Alabama through the air 163-91. Crimson Tide running back Major Ogilvie was quoted after the game as saying, “It was, by far, the hardest hitting game Iʼve participated in. Thereʼs not even a close second.” Alabama secured the win and the national championship on one of the most legendary plays in Crimson Tide history. On a fourth down and inches play from just outside the Alabama goal line Joe Paterno called on tailback Matt Guman to take the ball up the middle into the heart of the Crimson Tide defense. He was met head on by a host of Alabama defenders led by All-American linebacker Barry Krauss who stopped Guman just shy of the goal line to lock up the 14-7 Sugar Bowl victory and the national title.

The 1979 Alabama Crimson Tide was fierce to say the least. Alabama始s defense posted shutouts against Baylor, Wichita State, Florida, LSU and Miami. Alabama outscored five of its opponents on the season by 30 points or more, the biggest margin of victory coming against Vanderbilt in a 66-3 game. Alabama capped off the undefeated regular season by beating Auburn 25-18 and Miami 30-0. After its perfect 11-0 regular season, Coach Bryant始s Crimson Tide team returned to the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans again for the second straight year. This time the Crimson Tide would face its future SEC West rival in the University of Arkansas Razorbacks, who were then a part of the Southwest Conference. Alabama was led by running back Major Ogilvie as the Tide outgained the Razorbacks 284-97 in rushing yards. Ogilvie scored two touchdowns in a 24-9 victory that gave the Crimson Tide its 11th national title and Coach Bryant his sixth and final championship.

165

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS Head Coach Gene Stallingsʼ Crimson Tide team was led in the ʼ92 season by a tenacious defense that held 10 of its 13 opponents to 11 points or less. The offense was led by the arm of quarterback Jay Barker who threw for 1,614 yards and the legs of running back Derrick Lassic who ran for 905 yards on the season. The Alabama defense had 22 interceptions on the year, defensive backs Antonio Langham and George Teague were tied atop the list with six a piece. The Crimson Tide started off the season with a 25-8 win over SEC rival Vanderbilt and continued this winning streak all the way to the Sugar Bowl. Some of the highlights of this perfect season were a 17-10 victory over Tennessee, a 17-0 win against in state rival Auburn and a 28-21 win over Steve Spurrierʼs Florida Gators in the SEC Championship game. Alabamaʼs perfect regular season record led them to a No. 2 ranking and another visit to the Sugar Bowl to face 1992 Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Geno Torretta and the No. 1 ranked Miami Hurricanes. The Crimson Tide was a heavy underdog to the boisterous Miami team. However, from the opening kickoff to the final whistle Alabama dominated the Hurricanes and their Heisman winning quarterback leading to a 34-13 victory, a perfect 13-0 season and the Crimson Tideʼs 12th national championship.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL FALL OF FAME

Brown helped the Tide win the first Rose Bowl in 1926. He was on the receiving end of two touchdown passes, one a 58-yard strike from Grant Gillis and the other a 62-yard strike from Pooley Hubert. After college, he went on to star in Hollywood in several major motion pictures with some of the biggest stars in the business.

A two-time All-America selection for the Crimson Tide, Jordan is considered the best inside linebacker in Alabama history. During his playing days, the Tide compiled a record of 29-2-2. In the 1963 Orange Bowl vs. Oklahoma, he recorded 31 tackles, a feat that still remains in the Alabama history books to this day.

CRIMSON TIDE SPORTS MARKETING

When Nick Saban’s Crimson Tide rolls, Bama fans will hear all the action on the Crimson Tide Sports Network (CTSN). More than 50 radio stations in Alabama and around the south will broadcast Alabama football games in 2008. CTSN is a joint venture of Learfield Communications and International Sports Properties. For the 20th football season, the voice of the Tide will be Eli Gold. A nationally known sportscaster, Eli is also the host of “NASCAR Live”, a weekly, nationally syndicated radio call-in show. He has also done play-by-play for NFL, Arena Football League and NHL games on radio and television. Barry Krauss, an all-American linebacker for the Crimson Tide, will head to the sidelines in his second year on the network. Krauss, who led Bama to the national championship in 1978, was a first round draft choice of the Baltimore Colts in 1979, playing in the league until 1991. Tom Roberts will celebrate his 30th season on the network this fall. He hosts the CTSN pre-game show and the game broadcast from the press box.

Chris Stewart and Tyler Watts start and end the game-day broadcast on radio and handle the network’s tape delay telecasts and live pay-per-view telecasts. Stewart is in his seventh season on the network, where he is also the voice of men’s basketball and baseball. Watts, who starred at quarterback for Bama from 1999 to 2001, begins his second full season on the network. The CTSN broadcast is produced by Tom Stipe, in his 26th season with the network. Stipe also serves as president of the Southeastern Conference Broadcasters Association. Butch Owens stands behind Gold every week as the spotter for his 20th year on the Bama crew. Brian Roberts begins his 11th year as the statistician for the broadcast. Jim Carabin oversees the Bama broadcasts in his role as general manager of Crimson Tide Sports Marketing. And the network’s elder statesman, Bert Bank, is in his seventh decade with the network. Bank, the producer emeritus, formed the radio network more than 50 years ago.

“THE NICK SABAN SHOW” and “HEY, COACH” Bama fans again will have an opportunity to talk with Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban each Thursday night on his weekly radio show. Tom Roberts hosts the 60 minute coaches’ call-in show following “Hey, Coach” each Thursday night at 6:30 p.m. The first broadcast is set for August 14. Fans can join the program by calling toll-free 877-202-BAMA.
