UA’s loyal alumni and friends continue to provide a high level of support to the University, with private giving having an important impact on the University’s ability to fund scholarships, faculty support and construction projects. Prior to joining The University of Alabama in 2003, Dr. Witt spent 35 years as a faculty member and administrator in the University of Texas System. He received his B.A. in economics from Bates College, his M.B.A. from Tuck School at Dartmouth College, and his Ph.D. from Penn State University.

to some of the nation’s most intellectual minds.

UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA

Life at The Capstone is full of opportunities ...

from athletic events and cultural experiences ...

to Greek life and everything in between.

Life on The University of Alabama campus is defined by opportunities. If you want to get involved, join one of more than 300 student organizations, help plan concerts and speaker series, participate in intramural teams or run for student government. If you enjoy the arts, you can take advantage of a rich and varied schedule of musical, dance and theatre performances, art galleries and exhibitions, lectures and readings by writers, poets and experts on every topic imaginable. You can enrich your knowledge of the state and university’s history by visiting one of UA’s fine museums, which house countless historical artifacts and offer hands-on exploration opportunities. From the architecture on campus to the landscaping, The University of Alabama campus is one of the most beautiful places in the state of Alabama. 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 pingpong, 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. The University of Alabama offers a complete educational, cultural and social experience. Whatever your interests, you’ll find a group, an organization, an activity or a program that will appeal to you at UA. There are more than 50 Greek organizations and more than 30 campus ministries at The University of Alabama. The newly expanded Student Recreation Center offers first-class recreation facilities to students, faculty and staff. It includes two multi-use gyms, nine multi-purpose courts, weight machines, 1/8-mile jogging track, extensive cardio area, locker rooms, indoor swimming pool, dry and steam saunas, 12 lighted tennis courts, four aerobics rooms, eight racquetball courts and a squash court—together encompassing more than 200,000 square feet. The facility’s outdoor aquatic area, which opened in the summer of 2003, features a lazy river, lap swim, large water-park-type slide and lots of deck space.

MAL M. MOORE A

The University of Alabama’s Director of Athletics since 1999, MAL MOORE has made an indelible mark on one of the nation’s most storied athletic programs, leading a department that has enjoyed tremendous success athletically and academically while enjoying an unprecedented period of growth during his tenure. Through his guidance, Alabama’s athletic department remains focused on his vision of having all Crimson Tide athletic teams and student-athletes competitive at the highest level nationally while continuing to elevate athletic facilities at the Capstone to premier status nationally for all sports. During his tenure as Director of Athletics, Moore has overseen more than $200 million of capital improvements to University of Alabama athletic facilities. Those projects have encompassed the entire scope of all Crimson Tide athletic programs and have benefitted every Alabama student-athlete, coach, and administrator. Throughout his multi-faceted career, Moore has worked with a

diversified field of constituents, from fellow coaches and former players, to fans and the business community. All of those experiences and relationships - in addition to his ability to unify those many constituents - have made him the ideal person to lead Alabama athletics in the 21st century. His leadership has been crucial in helping guide Alabama through a period that has been, at times, extremely challenging. His guidance and effort helped Alabama athletics weather the storm, while continuing to move in a positive direction toward a future that holds great promise. Moore’s dedication to, and love of, the University of Alabama was recognized on March 28, 2007, when as a permanent tribute to his lifelong contributions to The University of Alabama, the Board of Trustees of The University of Alabama System officially dedicated the facility formerly known as The Football Building as the Mal M. Moore Athletic Facility. Under Moore’s direction, Alabama’s athletic teams have produced two national championships, the 2009 football title and the 2002 NCAA gymnastics championship, as well as several Southeastern Conference championships, winning titles in football, gymnastics, men’s basketball, women’s golf, men’s golf, men’s cross country, baseball and softball; taking SEC tournament titles in both baseball and softball. 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 on a regular basis. In addition to making his mark on Alabama, Moore has also had a national impact as a key member of several prestigious NCAA and college football committees. Moore has served on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee, the SEC Athletic Directors Bowl Advisory Committee and the Big Six Conferences Minority Coaches Forum. Moore’s distinguished record of service to UA began more than 50 years ago when he joined the Crimson Tide football squad as a scholarship player for Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant from 1958-62. Moore has the distinction of being a part of eight national championship teams (1961, 1964, 1965, 1973, 1978, 1979, 1992 and 2009) with the first coming as a player, the next six during his coaching career and the most recent during his tenure as director of athletics. As a player and coach, he was also part of 14 SEC championships and 27 bowl trips. He is the only individual connected with the Alabama program to be a part of eight national championships. During a coaching career that spanned 31 years, Moore spent 22 of those at Alabama with stops at Montana State, Notre Dame and the NFL’s St. Louis/Phoenix Cardinals. At Alabama, Moore started as a graduate assistant under Coach Bryant in 1964, then as defensive backfield coach for six seasons (1965-70) before becoming quarterbacks coach from 1971-82, serving as the Tide’s first offensive coordinator starting in 1975. He would go on to coordinate all of the offensive plays for four of Alabama’s national championship teams (1975, 1978, 1979 and 1992). 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. Moore was born December 19, 1939, in Dozier, Ala. He and the late Mrs. Charlotte Moore have one daughter, Mrs. Steve (Heather) Cook of Scottsdale, Ariz., a granddaughter, Anna Lee, and a grandson, Charles Cannon.

COACHING P E R S O N N E L A man of vision who has a proven record of championship success, head coach Nick Saban has led the University of Alabama back to national prominence as one of the elite programs in college football. Entering his fifth spring in Tuscaloosa, his uncompromising dedication to excellence in every phase of the program has already resulted in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 13th national championship and the foundation has been set to yield long-term success for the Crimson Tide. A three-time National Coach of the Year, 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. Sabanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consistent approach and disciplined leadership are the reasons his teams are known for exhibiting grit, determination and resilience, often overcoming adversity to achieve victory.

COACHING P E R S O N N E L

Saban has compiled a 129-53-1 (.708) record as a college head coach and has gone 36-5 (.878) in his last three seasons in Tuscaloosa, which includes a 21-3 mark in regular-season conference play. Despite a young roster that listed only eight scholarship seniors, the 2010 Alabama team finished with a third straight 10-win season following a dominating 49-7 win over Michigan State in the Capital One Bowl. The Tide has extended a streak of consecutive weeks in the AP Top 25 to 47 weeks, the longest since the mid 1990’s when UA was ranked 71 straight polls. Five players were named first team AllSEC by either AP or the league coaches while six more earned second team All-SEC honors. Most impressively, two players (Greg McElroy and Barrett Jones) were named first-team ESPN Academic All-Americans which meant in each of the last two years, Alabama boasted two of the three ESPN Academic All-Americans in the SEC. McElroy, the ESPN Academic All-American of the Year, was a NFF National-Scholar-Athlete as

a finalist for the prestigious Campbell Trophy. The 2009 season at Alabama turned out to be one of the most memorable in program history as the Crimson Tide put together a perfect 14-0 mark and won the 2009 BCS National Championship after defeating Texas by a score of 37-21 in the Rose Bowl. Alabama earned a spot in the title game with a resounding 32-13 win over defending National Champion Florida in the SEC Championship Game as the Crimson Tide moved to No. 1 in both major polls. The SEC Championship was the program’s 22nd – by far the most in league history. On December 12, 2009, more history was made for both Alabama and Saban when running back Mark Ingram became the first Heisman Trophy winner for both. Saban’s 2009 squad was well-represented when it came to other honors as well as Rolando McClain received the Butkus Award as the nation’s top linebacker and six players earned first-team AP All-American status – a record-high in college football. After the perfect season concluded, Saban was presented with the first-ever Bobby Bowden National Coach of the Year Award. In addition to the on-field success, the 2009 Crimson Tide active roster featured a nation’s best 13 players who had already graduated. That number increased to 22 players with degrees for the bowl game. Saban’s first UA team finished 7-6 in 2007, but the 2008 season saw a different Alabama squad take the field. Saban’s influence had taken hold in Tuscaloosa, and behind a small and united senior class along with a talented group of newcomers, the Crimson Tide returned to national prominence. The Tide developed a reputation as the most physical football team in the country and methodically dominated the competition. Saban produced the largest win increase from year one to year two in school history as the Tide went from a seven-

win team in 2007 to 12 wins in 2008. Alabama swept through the regular season schedule with a 12-0 record, moving to No. 1 in all of the polls and capturing the SEC Western Division Championship before falling late to Florida in a hard-fought SEC Championship Game. Their efforts earned them a trip to the Allstate Sugar Bowl for the 13th time in school history. Saban was named the 2008 Home Depot Coach of the Year at the ESPN Awards Show in Orlando and won several other national coach of the year honors including the FWAA/Eddie Robinson, Associated Press, Sporting News, Walter Camp Football Foundation, and Liberty Mutual. Lessons learned from the 2007 season, which was capped with a win over Colorado in the Independence Bowl, no doubt carried into spring and summer preparations for the 2008 run. The win also continued an impressive streak for Saban as he has never had a losing season as a college head coach. Of the six losses in 2007, none was by more than seven points. In addition to an improvement in the win-loss column from the year pior, 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 fiveseason 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 Miami Dolphins. Saban’s teams showed marked improvement over the unit he inherited. Taking 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 nonstrike 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 re-

FOOTBALL

sponsibility 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 postgraduate scholarship from the National Football Foundation in 2003. Saban also spearheaded a $15 million fundraising effort to fund a new academic center for studentathletes 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 sea-

sons 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 15thranked 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 1710 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 last-minute comeback by Arkansas in the regular season finale 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 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 sec-

ond 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. 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.

ALABAMA

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 recorded 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.

“I THINK EVERYBODY SHOULD TAKE THE ATTITUDE THAT WE’RE WORKING TO BE A CHAMPION, THAT WE WANT TO BE A CHAMPION IN EVERYTHING THAT WE DO. EVERY CHOICE, EVERY DECISION, EVERYTHING THAT WE DO EVERY DAY, WE WANT TO BE A CHAMPION.” -- NICK SABAN

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 co-champions 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.

Burton Burns enters his fifth year with the Crimson Tide football program as associate head coach and running backs coach. The New Orleans native is regarded as one of the best coaches in college football and was named the FootballScoop Running Backs Coach of the Year following the 2008 season. Although Burns loses Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram to the NFL, he does welcome back talented junior-to-be Trent Richardson. In 2010, the Crimson Tide’s ground game accumulated 2,378 yards rushing to rank 29th in the country. Playing in just 11 games each, Ingram led the way with 875 yards and 13 scores followed by Richardson’s 700 yards with six touchdowns. With two scores against Michigan State in the Capital One Bowl, Ingram set the Alabama career rushing touchdown record at 42. He finished his career fourth on the career rushing yardage list with 3,261 yards in three seasons. Both Ingram and Richardson were explosive in the passing game as well. Richardson was fourth on the team with 266 yards on 23 catches (4 TDs) while Ingram has added 21 catches for 282 yards and a touchdown. Under Burns’ guidance in 2009, Ingram was awarded Alabama’s first Heisman Trophy and earned unanimous AllAmerica honors. Ingram set the school’s single-season rushing record with 1,658 yards and 17 touchdowns while adding 32 receptions for 334 yards and three more scores. Richardson, a true freshman, was the team’s second-leading rusher (642 yards, 6 TD) and was named a Freshman All-SEC selection. The Tide also got some valuable production in 2009, especially on third downs, from senior Roy Upchurch. Upchurch earned an invite to the prestigious Senior Bowl at the conclusion of the season. In the BCS National Championship Game against Texas, Ingram and Richardson both rushed for 100-plus yards to help lead Alabama to the school’s 13th title. Burns also developed one of the nation’s strongest running games in 2008 as Alabama finished third in the SEC and 30th nationally with an average of 184.6 rushing yards per game. Glen Coffee, a first-team All-SEC selection and third round draft pick of the San Francisco 49ers, led the way with 1,383 yards on the ground. That single-season total then tied for second in school history and was third in the conference. In addition, Ingram was eighth in the SEC in rushing (728 yards), captured Freshman All-SEC honors and set a Crimson Tide rookie record with 12 rushing touchdowns. In his first year at Alabama, Burns helped first-year tailback Terry Grant set school records for rushing yards (891) and touchdowns (8) by a freshman 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. The Tigers averaged 5.7 yards per carry during the ’06 regular season. 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, 58, 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. Burns’ first experience as a coach also was at Saint Augustine, where he served as an assistant from 1977-79 and helped the school win three more district championships on the way to consecutive state titles in 1978-79. Burns also coached at New Orleans’ Booker T. Washington High School in 1980 before a five-year stint as an assistant coach at Southern University in Baton Rouge from 1981-85. As a player, Burns played fullback (1971-75) at the University of Nebraska under head coach Tom Osborne. A member of three Cornhusker teams that won at least nine games, Burns participated in the Orange Bowl, Cotton Bowl and Sugar Bowl as a player. He earned a bachelor’s degree in education from Nebraska in 1976. Burns is married to the former Connie Winder. The couple has three daughters (Amber, Christy, Erin) and a son (Damon).

Mike Groh returned to the Alabama staff in February of 2011 and will serve as wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator. Groh, a former quarterback at the University of Virginia, joins the Crimson Tide coaching staff after serving as the quarterbacks coach at Louisville last season. He spent eight years at Virginia (2001-08) with three of those seasons coaching the wide receivers. Groh spent the 2009 season at Alabama as an offensive graduate assistant as the Crimson Tide recorded a 14-0 record en route to the National Championship. Last year as the quarterbacks coach at Louisville, Groh was instrumental in the development of seniors Adam Froman and Justin Burke. Due to injuries, both players shared the starting role and showed great improvement from the previous season. After throwing just nine touchdown passes in 2009, the quarterbacks combined to throw 22 in 2010 with just eight interceptions. Before his stints at Alabama and Louisville, Groh spent eight seasons as an assistant coach at Virginia including the final three years as the offensive coordinator for the Cavaliers. Considered one of the greatest quarterbacks in Virginia history, Groh was hired on the Virginia staff in 2001 as the wide receivers coach before he took on the task of coaching the Cavalier quarterbacks in 2003 along with the receivers. He added the title of recruiting coordinator in 2005. In his first year working with the quarterbacks at Virginia, Groh coached Matt Schaub, who set a school record with a 69.7 percent completion percentage, throwing for 2,952 yards and 18 touchdowns. Schaub is currently the starter for the Houston Texans and was named to the Pro Bowl in 2009 after leading the league in passing yards. Marques Hagans transitioned from wide receiver to quarterback for the 2004 and 2005 seasons and which culminated with a 358-yard passing performance in the 2005 Music City Bowl to earn game MVP honors. Hagans finished his career with 4,877 passing yards, the fifth-highest total by a Cavalier. As the wide receivers coach in 2001 and 2002 seasons, Groh helped Billy McMullen become one of the top receivers in the nation. As a senior in 2002, McMullen became the second all-time leading receiver in ACC history with 210 career receptions. Groh also recruited tailback Wali Lundy, who became the all-time touchdown leader in ACC history. As the starting quarterback at Virginia in 1994-95, Groh became the only quarterback in school history to lead the Cavaliers to nine wins and a bowl victory in consecutive seasons. Groh led the ACC and ranked 13th in the nation in passing in 1994 as the Cavaliers finished 9-3 and defeated TCU 20-10 in the Independence Bowl as he earned MVP honors in that game. As a tri-captain in 1995, he helped lead Virginia to a 9-4 record, including a 34-27 victory over Georgia in the Peach Bowl, and a share of the ACC championship. He earned second-team All-ACC honors in 1995 and received Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Joe Palumbo Award for self-sacrifice. He played his final season at Virginia as a graduate student after receiving his undergraduate degree in rhetoric and communication studies from Virginia in 1995. He attended the Baltimore Ravensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; training camp as a free agent in 1996 and later played in the World League for the Rhein Fire in 1997. Groh spent the 2000 season as an offensive assistant/quality control coach for the New York Jets. Groh is married to the former Elena Montero.

Jim McElwain was named Alabama’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach by head coach Nick Saban on January 30, 2008, and his balanced offensive attack helped the Crimson Tide total 36 victories during his three seasons at the Capstone. In the 2009 National Championship season, McElwain’s offense set a school record with 5,642 yards from scrimmage. Last year’s unit topped that total as the Crimson Tide offense set new school marks for total yards (5,773) and total passing yards (3,395) in one fewer game than 2009. Quarterback Greg McElroy set single-season passing records in 2010 with a 70.9 completion percentage, 20 touchdown passes and 2,987 yards. McElroy, who was named the ESPN Academic All-American of the Year, finished the year fourth nationally in pass efficiency with a rating of 168.9. His completion percentage last season was the second-best in SEC history and his career completion percentage of 66.3 was third all-time in the conference. The 2010 offense averaged more yards from scrimmage (435.6 per game) than all but one team in school history (480.7 in 1973). The Tide also scored the second-most points in program history with 464. In addition to McElroy’s recordsetting passing season, wide receiver Julio Jones set single-season receiving reception and receiving yardage records. Tailbacks Mark Ingram, Trent Richardson and Jones all ranked among the SEC Top 10 in all-purpose yards. Balance was the key for the Crimson Tide in 2009 as the Tide utilized Heisman Trophy winning Ingram in both the run and pass game, including plenty of work from the “wildcat” formation. Alabama ranked 12th nationally in rushing yards per game (215.1) and 22nd in the country in scoring (32.1 ppg). In his first year as a starting quarterback, McElroy was fourth in the SEC and 28th in the country in pass efficiency (140.6). McElroy, the MVP of the SEC Championship Game against Florida, boasted an impressive touchdown to interception ratio of 17-4 in the 2009 season. In the 37-21 victory over Texas in the BCS National Championship Game in 2009, McElwain utilized Ingram and Richardson against the Longhorns as both rushed for over 100 yards and scored two touchdowns apiece in the Rose Bowl. Ingram was named the game’s MVP on the offensive side of the ball. McElwain’s 2008 offense proved to be one of the nation’s most efficient and productive units. Alabama finished fifth in the SEC in scoring offense (30.1 ppg) and 35th nationally after ranking 64th (seventh in the SEC) in that category in 2007 with an average of 27.1 ppg. In addition, quarterback John Parker Wilson saw his pass efficiency rating improve from eighth to fifth in the SEC and he was named a Johnny Unitas Award finalist under McElwain’s guidance. Wilson signed a free agent contract with the Atlanta Falcons and earned a roster spot in 2009. McElwain spent the 2006 season in the NFL as quarterbacks coach for the Oakland Raiders and served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Fresno State in 2007. He made an immediate impact, helping lead the Bulldogs to a 9-4 record. The Fresno State offense under McElwain averaged 419.5 yards per game (38th nationally) and 32.9 points per game (32nd) in 2007. 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 All-America 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 AllAmerica honors in 1993. An all-state quarterback at Missoula (Montana) Sentinel High School, McElwain played quarterback at Eastern Washington from 198083 and earned his degree in Education from EWU in 1984. He and his wife, Karen, have three children, JoHanna, Elizabeth and Jerret.

Jeremy Pruitt begins his second spring on Alabama’s coaching staff after being hired in January of 2010. Pruitt, a former defensive back with the Crimson Tide, coaches the secondary. The defensive backfield had a lot of new faces on the field in 2010 with the loss of starters Javier Arenas (CB), Kareem Jackson (CB) and Justin Woodall (S) following the 2009 National Championship. Under the tutelage of Pruitt, the young group came together quickly and helped Alabama led the SEC in total defense, scoring defense and pass efficiency defense. Pruitt will welcome back first-team FWAA All-American safety and captain Mark Barron in the defensive backfield in 2011. Barron, who injured his shoulder and missed the Capital One Bowl, led the Crimson Tide with 75 tackles in 12 games in 2010.

Kirby Smart is in his fifth season with the Alabama football staff and fourth as defensive coordinator. A former standout defensive back and scholar-athlete at Georgia, Smart brings an impressive blend of college and pro coaching experience to the Crimson Tide. Smart’s rebuilding job in 2010 was impressive as the Tide remained one of the nation’s elite defensive units while replacing nearly the entire defense (nine starters). Alabama led the SEC and ranked third nationally in scoring defense (13.5 ppg) and fifth nationally in total defense (286.4 ypg). UA also ranked first in the SEC (sixth in the NCAA) in pass efficiency defense. Safety Mark Barron and defensive lineman Marcell Dareus earned first-team All-SEC honors while linebacker Dont’a Hightower, safety Robert Lester and cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick were second-team All-SEC selections. The 2009 season was a special one for Smart as he not only helped lead UA to the National Championship, but also took home the Broyles Award as the top assistant coach in the country. The Alabama defense was again regarded as one of the top units in the country in 2009, leading the SEC and ranking second nationally in scoring defense (11.7 ppg), pass efficiency defense (87.7), rush defense (78.1 ypg) and total defense (244.1 ypg). In the BCS National Championship Game against Texas, the Tide recorded four interceptions and scored a defensive touchdown. Three players on Smart’s defense earned first-team All-America honors – Rolando McClain, Javier Arenas, Terrence Cody – while Barron was a third team Associated Press All-American. McClain captured the Butkus Award and Cody was a finalist for several national awards as well. The Alabama defense was rated among the nation’s best in 2008. The Tide finished third in total defense (263.5 ypg) and seventh in scoring defense (14.3 ppg) in the final NCAA stats. Senior captain Rashad Johnson earned first-team AllAmerica honors as well as first-team All-SEC recognition after intercepting five passes, including that were returned for touchdowns. Alabama recorded 15 interceptions in 2008 and brought back four of those for scores. Under Smart’s guidance in 2007, Johnson led the SEC with six interceptions and earned first-team All-SEC honors along with cornerback Simeon Castille. A third member of the Alabama secondary, Kareem Jackson, was honored at the end of the season as a second-team Sporting News Freshman All-American.

One of the nation’s most respected offensive line coaches, Jeff Stoutland was hired at Alabama in January of this year. He made the move to Tuscaloosa from the University of Miami, where he served as the offensive line coach from 2007-10. Stoutland, who was the interim head coach for the Hurricanes in the 2010 Sun Bowl, has spent the last 14 years as an assistant coach at Miami, Michigan State and Syracuse. In his first spring at the Capstone, the veteran coach returns four of five starters on the offensive line. Stoutland must replace departed senior James Carpenter at left tackle, who will take his talents to the next level in 2011. Twoyear starters William Vlachos (center) and Barrett Jones (right guard) lead the way in terms of experience and return as starters along with Chance Warmack (left guard) and D.J. Fluker (right tackle). Stoutland spent the previous four seasons at Miami as the offensive line coach and was named the interim head coach prior to UM’s bowl game. The Hurricanes led the ACC in total offense (421.3 ypg) and were third in rushing (182.5 ypg). Brandon Washington was a first-team All-ACC selection at guard and tackle Orlando Franklin was a second-team honoree. In 2009, tackle Jason Fox earned first-team all-conference honors and was selected by the Detroit Lions in the fourth round of the 2010 NFL Draft. Before heading to Miami, Stoutland spent the previous seven seasons (2000-06) at Michigan State. He produced six All-Big Ten selections during his tenure and in addition, seven Spartans earned Academic All-Big Ten honors. In 2005, the Michigan State line paved the way for the nation’s No. 5 offense, No. 11 pass offense and No. 20 rush offense. The 2004 MSU offense ranked second in the Big Ten and No. 10 in the NCAA in rushing, with eight 200-yard rushing games. That line also led the Big Ten in fewest sacks allowed (eight). The Michigan State line helped running back T.J. Duckett produce back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons in 2000 and 2011. Stoutland was an assistant at Syracuse (1997-99) for three years under Paul Pasqualoni, where he coached the tight ends for two years before taking over the offensive line in 1999. In addition to his coaching duties, he also served as the recruiting coordinator for all three seasons and Syracuse played in bowl games in each of those years. In 1999, he coached first-team All-Big East offensive tackle Mark Baniewicz, who also earned the National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete Award and GTE Academic All-America honors.

Sal Sunseri, a former All-American linebacker at Pittsburgh, joined the Alabama coaching staff in January of 2009 after serving as the defensive line coach with the NFL’s Carolina Panthers. As a member of the Crimson Tide staff, he holds the title of assistant head coach for defense and coaches the outside linebackers. In 2010, Sunseri continued to build on his solid foundation from the National Championship season. The defensive unit ranked third in the country in scoring defense and fifth in total defense. Sophomore linebacker Dont’a Hightower played a number of roles in 2010 and garnered second-team All-SEC honors with 69 tackles (second on the team) and nine quarterback hurries. Courtney Upshaw led the Tide from his jack linebacker spot with 14.5 tackles for loss and seven sacks. He was named the MVP of the Capital One Bowl after recording five tackles, three tackles for loss and two sacks in the 49-7 win over No. 7 Michigan State. In Sunseri’s first season at Alabama, he helped guide the Crimson Tide to the National Championship behind a dominant defense that ranked second nationally in four major categories – rushing defense, pass efficiency defense, total defense and scoring defense. Sunseri’s NFL experience with the pass rush helped Alabama greatly increase production in that area. UA totaled 32 sacks in 2009 and 98 tackles for loss, despite losing one of its best pass rushers in Hightower early in the season to injury. Alabama was also well-represented on the AP All-America team with three defenders earning first-team honors, including Butkus winner Rolando McClain. Sunseri’s defensive line with the Panthers was regarded as one of the best in the NFL. Defensive end Julius Peppers, defensive end Mike Rucker and defensive tackle Kris Jenkins earned Pro Bowl honors during Sunseri’s tenure. He produced at least one Pro Bowl defensive lineman in five of six seasons as defensive line coach. The Panthers were among the top 10 in the NFL in terms of fewest yards allowed in four of his seven seasons and made three playoff appearances. Sunseri came to Carolina as a defensive assistant in 2002 and took over as defensive line coach in 2003. It was a seamless transition as the Panthers defensive line remained one of the best in the NFL in 2003 under Sunseri. Carolina ranked eighth in overall defense, 11th against the run and seventh in sacks per pass play. The defensive line accounted for 32.5 of the team’s 40 total sacks and also produced a pair of Pro Bowl players in Jenkins and Rucker. The Panthers’ defensive line has provided more than its share of superlatives. In 2006, the Panthers ranked seventh in yards allowed and seventh in sacks per play as two members of the starting unit, Peppers and Jenkins, were selected to the NFC Pro Bowl squad. In 2005, Carolina finished third in yards allowed, fourth against the rush and fifth in sacks per pass play. In 2008, Carolina ranked ninth in the NFL and fifth in the NFC in sacks (37.0) while also ranking 12th in the NFL and sixth in the NFC in scoring defense (20.6 ppg). Peppers earned his fourth trip to the Pro Bowl and established a new career-high with 14.5 sacks. Prior to his time at Carolina, Sunseri worked as the linebackers coach and special teams coordinator at Michigan State in 2001 after spending 2000 at Louisiana State under head coach Nick Saban in the same capacity. He coached at Alabama A&M in 1998 and 1999 as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach following three seasons from 1995-97 at the University of Louisville as linebackers coach. Working his way up the coaching ladder, Sunseri spent one year each at Illinois State as defensive coordinator in 1994 and Iowa Wesleyan as assistant head coach, defensive coordinator and special teams coach in 1993. He broke into coaching at his alma mater, Pittsburgh, in 1985 and coached the defensive line and linebackers before being named assistant head coach in 1992. Sunseri began his career at the University of Pittsburgh in 1978 as a walk-on and ended it as a team captain and consensus All-American as a senior in 1981. A three-year starter at linebacker, he helped the Panthers to a combined record of 33-3 and anchored a defensive unit that led the NCAA in total defense in 1980 and 1981. He was the defensive MVP in the 1982 Senior Bowl and was drafted in the 10th round by the Pittsburgh Steelers but had his pro career cut short by a knee injury in training camp. He received a bachelor’s degree in communications from Pittsburgh in 1982. Sunseri is married to the former Roxann Evans, who was a varsity gymnast at Pittsburgh. The couple has two daughters, Jaclyn and Ashlyn, and two sons, Santino (a quarterback at Pittsburgh) and Vinnie (a linebacker at Alabama).

Bobby Williams begins his fourth season in Tuscaloosa after being hired as Alabama’s tight ends coach and special teams coordinator in January of 2008. A veteran coach with both college and NFL experience, Williams is a member of Nick Saban’s coaching staff for the fourth time in his career as they have worked together previously at Michigan State, LSU and the Miami Dolphins. Williams was instrumental in the development of Preston Dial in 2010 as the senior had a breakout season under his tutelage. On top of his exceptional blocking abilities, Dial hauled in a career-best 25 passes for 264 yards and three scores. Michael Williams also had an outstanding season as a dominating blocker on the edge in the UA running game while catching eight passes for 100 yards and a touchdown. Williams returns for 2011, but Dial’s departure opens up an opportunity for some of the younger players at the position this spring. The veteran coach had to replace both kickers last season with the losses of Leigh Tiffin and P.J. Fitzgerald. Two freshmen earned the kicking duties for the Tide in 2010. Newcomer Cody Mandell won the punting duties as a true freshman and averaged 39.2 yards per kick, knocking 13 inside the 20. Fellow freshman Cade Foster split field goal duties with sophomore Jeremy Shelley. Foster drilled seven field goals, including five over 40 yards while Shelley handled the closer attempts. Trent Richardson ranked 29th nationally in kickoff returns and Marquis Maze was 16th in punt returns. During the National Championship season in 2009, Williams had to replace a pair of senior tight ends from the 2008 roster. The Alabama offense did not miss a beat as Colin Peek emerged as one of the team’s top targets, earning second-team Associated Press All-SEC honors with 26 catches for 313 yards and three touchdowns. Williams also oversaw 2009 Lou Groza finalist Leigh Tiffin at place-kicker, who earned first-team AP All-America status, as well as Javier Arenas, who set the SEC career record punt return yards and touchdowns. Punter P.J. Fitzgerald had a career season for the Tide by averaging 41.5 yards per kick with 19 inside the 20-yard line. The special teams in 2008 were a big weapon for the Tide under Williams. Arenas broke two punt returns for touchdowns, Tiffin was a Groza Award semifinalist and connected on 20-of-29 on field goals while P.J. Fitzgerald had a then-career-best average of 41.1 yards per punt with 15 inside the 20. In addition, tight ends Nick Walker and Travis McCall combined for 23 starts had the best seasons of their career in terms of production. Williams spent the 2005 and 2006 seasons as the running backs coach with the Dolphins. In his first season, Miami averaged 118.6 yards rushing per contest, the second-best figure by the team over the previous 21 years (1985-05). In 2004, Williams served as the associate head coach/wide receivers coach at LSU where he coached a pair of future NFL first round picks in Craig Davis and Dwayne Bowe. Both Davis and Bowe ranked in the top ten in the SEC in both receptions per game and receiving yards per game that season. Prior to LSU, he had a one-year stint with the Detroit Lions as wide receivers coach in 2003. Williams followed Saban as the head coach at Michigan State, and served in that post from 2000-02. He led the Spartans to a victory over Florida in the 2000 Citrus Bowl after the 1999 season, in his first game as the school’s head coach. He also guided Michigan State to a 7-5 mark in 2001, his second full season as the team’s head coach, one which culminated with a victory over Fresno State in the Silicon Valley Football Classic, as he became the first coach in Michigan State history to lead his team to victories in his first two bowl appearances. He previously was an assistant on the Spartans staff from 1990-99, during which time he tutored the running backs under Saban. Spartan backs produced nine individual 1,000- yard rushing seasons in Williams’ ten years in that post, a list which includes T.J. Duckett, Atlanta’s first-round draft choice in 2002. Williams got his start in the coaching profession as running backs/defensive backs coach at Ball State from 1983-84. He followed that with a five-year stop (1985-89) as offensive backfield coach at Eastern Michigan. Williams is a 1982 graduate of Purdue where he earned his degree in general management and was a four-year letterman for the Boilermakers. He started his career at running back before moving to the secondary and starting in his final three seasons. A tri-captain as a senior in 1981, Williams was a part of three bowl teams as a player. He then served one year (1982) as a graduate assistant at his alma mater. A native of St. Louis, Mo., Williams and his wife, Sheila, have a daughter, Nataly, and a son, Nicholas, a wide receiver for the Crimson Tide.

ALABAMA

The booming voice you hear leading a pre-practice stretch or encouraging a Crimson Tide player to finish a workout session strong is that of Director of Strength and Conditioning Scott Cochran. The high-energy coach joined the Alabama staff in 2007 after spending three seasons with the New Orleans Hornets of the NBA as an assistant strength coach. Cochran has been on Nick Saban’s staff for both national titles, as he served as an assistant at LSU in 2003. Cochran is nationally regarded as one of the best in the area of strength and conditioning and the performances of Alabama’s players on the field prove that to be true. He received one of the highest honors in his field when he was named the 2008 Samson Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Year as featured in American Football Quarterly. Prior to the start of spring drills, Cochran implements head coach Nick Saban’s offseason workout plan, which includes the well-known “Fourth Quarter Program” – a very important step in helping UA players develop physically and prepare for the upcoming practices. It is no coincidence that through improvements off the field in strength and conditioning, Alabama is known as one of the most physically dominant teams in the country. The main goal of the program is to win the fourth quarter and wear down the opponent as the game goes on. On the way to the 2009 National Championship, Alabama did just that as they won the fourth quarter by an astounding margin of 121-32. While in the NBA with the Hornets, Cochran’s duties included assisting with the exercise and strength conditioning programs to help players achieve and maintain optimal fitness throughout the NBA season. With the Hornets, he coached NBA standouts Chris Paul, Baron Davis, David West and Tyson Chandler. Prior to joining the Hornets staff, Cochran worked for his alma mater, Louisiana State, as an assistant strength coach in 2003 (13-1, BCS National Champions) and 2004 (9-3, Capital One Bowl). He was a graduate assistant in Baton Rouge from 2001-03. Cochran returned to LSU after starting his career in the strength and conditioning field at University Laboratory High School in Baton Rouge, La. He held that position from 1998-2001 before returning to LSU as a graduate assistant for all sports from 2001-03. Cochran was then hired on to the full-time staff for the 2003-04 season. A native of New Orleans, Cochran received a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from LSU in 2001 and added a master’s degree in sports management from LSU in 2003. Cochran was born on March 21, 1979, and is married to the former Cissy Schepens. They have a son, Beau, and a daughter, Savannah.

GAME 1 - SAN JOSE STATE, SEPTEMBER 4, 2010 TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Running backs Eddie Lacy and Trent Richardson each rushed for a pair of touchdowns, and top-ranked Alabama began defense of its national title with a 48-3 win over San Jose State. Greg McElroy and AJ McCarron each had a touchdown pass for the Crimson Tide (1-0), who were without two key players. Heisman Trophy winning running back Mark Ingram sat out after undergoing surgery on his left knee and defensive end Marcell Dareus was ruled ineligible for two games. McElroy connected on 13-of-15 passes for 218 yards, while McCarron finished 9-of-15 for 116 yards. Lacy rushed for 111 yards. Julio Jones made a one-handed touchdown catch in the second quarter as the Crimson Tide rolled to a 31-3 halftime lead. Alabama had 591 yards of total offense. “I think we are all starting to understand each other and understand communicating with each other. I think we can be a great unit. Now we have to get ready for a good Penn State team,” Alabama free safety Robert Lester said. Harrison Waid’s first-quarter field goal provided the lone score for the Spartans (0-1), who were under the guidance of new head coach Mike MacIntyre. Jordan La Secla completed 7-of-14 passes for 85 yards and was picked off once for the Spartans, who were limited to 175 yards of offense. McElroy led the Tide to a touchdown on the opening eight-play, 71-yard drive. Richardson capped it with a four-yard TD run just 4:22 into the game. “I’m just happy to be out there. It’s not really a start for me,” Richardson said. “I’ve been playing football my whole life. I don’t call it a start. We’ve got a rotation going. It feels good to beat up on someone other than ourselves.” A 32-yard run by Brandon Rutley, combined with a 15-yard face mask penalty, set San Jose State up in Alabama territory. Harrison booted a 31-yard field goal with 7:26 left in the opening quarter. Less than three minutes later, McElroy found Marquis Maze along the right sideline for a 48-yard touchdown pass and a 14-3 cushion. Lacy fumbled the ball away into the end zone later in the first quarter, but the Tide gained a 21-3 lead in the opening minute of the second when Richardson broke off a 39-yard touchdown run up the middle. The highlight of the night, though, came with 11:48 to go in the half. Jones took a pattern deep down the field. McCarron, a redshirt freshman, led him a bit too far, but Jones used his left hand to corral the ball as he landed on the goal line. Waid hit the right upright on a 41-yard field goal try later in the second and Cade Foster capped the half by splitting the uprights from 41 yards out. Lacy, another redshirt freshman, scored on a 37-yard run early in the third, Foster added a 24-yard field goal later in the period, and Lacy ran up the middle for a 10-yard score in the first minute of the fourth.

GAME 2 - PENN STATE, SEPTEMBER 11, 2010

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Greg McElroy threw two touchdown passes and Trent Richardson rushed for a career-high 144 yards and a score as No. 1 Alabama defeated 18th-ranked Penn State, 24-3, in a clash of legendary programs at Bryant-Denny Stadium. McElroy was an efficient 16-of-24 passing for 229 yards while Richardson added an additional 46 yards on four catches for the Crimson Tide (2-0), who hung 409 yards of offense on the Lions. Penn State freshman quarterback Robert Bolden was picked off twice, completing 13-of-29 passes for 144 yards. Senior Evan Royster was also held in check, gaining 32 yards on nine carries as the Nittany Lions (1-1) turned it over four times – two of those coming in the red zone in the first half. Alabama set the tone with a score on its second drive, moving 68 yards in just five plays. A 21-yard completion to Julio Jones on the first play moved the ball into Penn State territory and subsequent gains of 14 and eight on passes to Darius Hanks and Marquis Maze set the ball up at the 26. A holding call set the Tide back 10 yards, but McElroy found Kevin Norwood for a 36-yard touchdown on the next play. The Nittany Lions went three-and-out on their first series, but put together a promising drive on the ensuing possession. Royster converted an early 3rd-and-1 and a 31-yard pass up the right sideline to Derek Moye moved the chains into Alabama territory. Penn State got as far as the 20 before Bolden unleashed a wobbly pass under pressure that was picked off by Will Lowery. The Crimson Tide embarked on their next scoring venture from there, a nine-play, 97-yard drive that stretched into the second quarter. Richardson picked up four on third-and-3 after rushing for 11, 16 and 33 yards on the first three plays of the drive. A nine-yard run by the sophomore brought the ball inside the red zone and McElroy hit Preston Dial for a 14-yard touchdown on the first play of the second quarter to make it 14-0. The Lions took the ball from their own 23 down to the Tide 16-yard line on the ensuing series. Bolden completed a short pass to Chaz Powell, who was stripped of the ball and Robert Lester ran it back up the right sideline before also fumbling inside the Penn State 20. It was recovered by the visitors at their own two, but they had to punt shortly thereafter. Jeremy Shelley split the uprights from 31 yards out to cap Alabama’s next drive for a 17-0 advantage at the half. Penn State started the second half with the ball and again was able to drive deep into Tide territory. Bolden converted a fourth-and-1 on a quarterback sneak and hit Justin Brown for 20 yards on third-and-10 to get inside the Alabama 30-yard-line. Bolden was soon faced with another third down and had a pass intercepted by Lester at the 13. Penn State would get onto Alabama’s side of the field only once more, resulting in a Collin Wagner 36-yard field goal with 9:47 to play. “I thought they (Alabama) had a very good football team,” Paterno said. “Well-coached, they out-coached us and outplayed us. I thought we played better overall in the second half. I just think we didn’t play with the kind of intensity early enough in the football game that you have to have against a team as good as Alabama. We came down here knowing how good they were and we didn’t wise up to it.” Alabama made it a 24-0 game the series before State’s lone score, as Richardson’s one-yard touchdown plunge finished off a methodical 12-play drive that went 71 yards and took almost 6 1/2 minutes.

GAME 3 - DUKE, SEPTEMBER 18, 2010 DURHAM, N.C. – Mark Ingram returned to the lineup for Alabama after missing the first two games of the season and ran for 151 yards with a pair of touchdowns on just nine carries to lead the top-ranked Crimson Tide to an easy 62-13 victory over Duke at Wallace Wade Stadium. Greg McElroy threw for 258 yards while completing 14-of-20 passes with three touchdowns and one interception for Alabama. Julio Jones caught five passes for 106 yards with a touchdown in the lopsided victory. Trent Richardson added 61 yards on the ground, including a 45-yard scoring jaunt, and also returned a kickoff for a touchdown, while Eddie Lacy also reached the end zone for the Tide, who piled up 315 rushing yards and outgained Duke by a 626-302 margin. Sean Renfree threw for a 144 yards with a touchdown for Duke (1-2), which fell to 0-11 all-time against No. 1 teams. Ingram took a handoff 48 yards on the first play from scrimmage, then added a three-yard run before McElroy threw a nine-yard touchdown pass to Darius Hanks to cap the quick series for a 7-0 lead. The Tide went to the air on their next possession, as McElroy connected on three of his four throws during the six-play set and capped it with an 18-yard scoring strike to Jones. Ingram ignited the next Alabama offensive series with a 50-yard run on the first play and was rewarded soon after with a one-yard touchdown run to make it 21-0 just under nine minutes into the contest. Renfree was picked off by Dre Kirkpatrick on Duke’s next possession and the Tide turned the mistake into another score, as Ingram found the end zone from 17 yards away. The Blue Devils picked up their initial first down on their next series and drove far enough for a 22yard field goal from Will Snyderwine late in the first period. McElroy was picked off early in the second quarter, but the Tide got the ball right back after a punt and the senior signal-caller ended a 56-yard drive with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Preston Dial. Snyderwine drilled a 42-yard field goal with just over six minutes left in the half, but Richardson fielded the ensuing kickoff at the four-yard line, dropped the ball and picked it up before racing 91 yards for a touchdown to give the Tide a 42-6 lead. Duke added a touchdown on an 11-yard connection between Renfree and Austin Kelly just 29 seconds before the intermission, but Alabama tacked on a 44-yard Cade Foster field goal as time expired for a 45-13 lead. After a 21-yard Foster field goal on the first series of the third quarter, Richardson scored on a 45yard run on the first play after a Duke punt to increase the lead to 55-13. Lacy, who fumbled inside the Duke five-yard line late in the third quarter, scored on a one-yard run early in the fourth to account for the final margin. SCORING SUMMARY Duke Alabama

GAME 4 - ARKANSAS, SEPTEMBER 25, 2010

FAYETTEVILLE, ARK. – Mark Ingram ran for 157 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner with 3:18 left, as top-ranked Alabama rallied from a 13-point third-quarter deficit to stun 10th-ranked Arkansas, 24-20, at Razorback Stadium. The reigning Heisman Trophy winner Ingram teamed up with Trent Richardson, who gained 85 yards on eight carries, to help defending champion Alabama (4-0, 1-0 SEC) remain unbeaten in its last 28 regular season games after scoring 17 unanswered points. Greg McElroy also stayed undefeated in his collegiate career after throwing for 194 yards and a touchdown on 18-of-26 passing. McElroy, who is 18-0 as a starter, was also picked off twice. Richardson also added a receiving touchdown, while Julio Jones had five catches for 55 yards. The Crimson Tide, who have beaten the Razorbacks four straight times, won their eighth straight game against AP Top 25 opponents. Ryan Mallett threw for 357 yards and a touchdown on 25-of-38 passing, but was intercepted three times for Arkansas (3-1, 1-1), which fell to 4-12 all-time against the top-ranked team in the nation. Jarius Wright was Mallett’s main target, catching six passes for 131 yards, while Ronnie Wingo hauled in a touchdown pass. After Alabama trimmed its deficit to three with six minutes left, the Razorbacks looked to go on a game-clinching drive. However, a critical error gave the Crimson Tide new life. On third-and-11 from the Arkansas 19, Mallett threw his second interception, as Robert Lester came up with the critical pick – his second of the game – and returned it 33 yards to the 12-yard line. The Crimson Tide put it in the hands of Ingram three straight plays, with the last play getting into the end zone from one yard out for a 24-20 Alabama advantage with 3:18 to play. Mallett, who engineered a game-winning drive one week earlier to beat Georgia in Athens, tried to duplicate the feat. He looked good early, completing passes of 10 and 19 yards to Wright and Joe Adams, respectively. He took the Razorbacks near midfield before Dre Kirkpatrick made a sideline interception to give the Crimson Tide possession with under two minutes. Alabama nearly made a colossal error in the final moments. Trying to run the clock out, the Tide faced 4th-and-inches from their own 44 with just under a minute to play. Instead of punting it away – Arkansas had zero timeouts remaining – they elected to go for it, and McElroy got just enough push on a quarterback sneak to gain the first down, sealing the outcome. Arkansas started the game with the ball and got off to the perfect start. On the first play from scrimmage, Mallett found Wright on the right sideline, and he scampered through space 31 yards to the Alabama 43. On the following snap, Mallett hit a wide-open Wingo at about the 20 near the left sideline, and Wingo made one defender miss to get into the end zone for a 7-0 lead 50 seconds into the game. Alabama punted on its first possession, but used a big play on its second touch to even the score. On first down from the Crimson Tide 46, Ingram broke through the right side of the defense and snuck inside the right pylon, avoiding several would-be tacklers en route to the 54-yard score. Arkansas, though, answered right away with Zach Hocker’s 31-yard field goal to grab a 10-7 lead in the final moments of the opening quarter. Each team came up with a big defensive play in the second quarter. Consecutive completions of 43 yards and 31 yards from Mallett to Wright and Greg Childs, respectively, put Arkansas on the Alabama sixyard line. On 3rd- and-goal, Lester came up with an interception in the back of the end zone to maintain the Tide’s three-point deficit. McElroy followed by leading Alabama on a drive that got inside the Razorbacks’ 10-yard line, but Andru Stewart came up with a pick in the end zone that prevented the visitors from taking the lead. On the Crimson Tide’s following drive, McElroy thought he had a wide-open receiver down the right sideline, but Arkansas’ Rudell Crim came in at the last second to intercept the pass. With just under two minutes left, Mallett engineered a drive, which ended with the quarterback’s oneyard plunge into the end zone for a 17-7 halftime lead. Alabama’s offense sputtered coming out of halftime, gaining one first down before being forced to punt. Arkansas, on the other hand, was effective right away, getting inside the red zone before settling for Hocker’s 48-yard field goal with five minutes left the third quarter. The top team in the nation was finally able to respond with a quick 74-yard drive that took less than five minutes. McElroy ended it with a short pass to Richardson, who took it in from the Arkansas 20-yard line for a 20-14 contest with under a minute until the fourth. The Crimson Tide took the ball downfield again on their next drive, but had to settle for a 36-yard field goal from Jeremy Shelley with 6:01 to play, cutting the deficit to three.

GAME 5 - FLORIDA, OCTOBER 2, 2010 TUSCALOOSA, Ala.– Mark Ingram ran for two touchdowns, leading top-ranked Alabama to a 31-6 win over No. 7 Florida at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Greg McElroy completed 11-of-17 throws for 84 yards and Marquis Maze threw a touchdown pass for the Crimson Tide (5-0, 2-0 SEC), who earned their 29th consecutive regular season victory. Florida quarterback John Brantley was 16-of-31 through the air for 202 yards and was picked off twice, one of which was returned by Alabama’s C.J. Mosley for a touchdown. The Gators committed four turnovers overall. Florida (4-1, 2-1) had won 24 straight regular season games entering the game, with their last such loss coming against Mississippi on September 27, 2008. Alabama took the game’s opening kickoff and grabbed a 3-0 lead on a 28-yard field goal by Jeremy Shelley. The Gators marched to the Alabama two-yard line on their first possession. Florida head coach Urban Meyer opted not for the short field goal on fourth down and the move proved costly when Trey Burton’s jump pass was intercepted in the end zone by linebacker Nico Johnson. Alabama extended its lead early in the second quarter, as Ingram capped the ensuing drive with a six-yard touchdown run. Florida was forced to punt on its next series, and a 41-yard return by Julio Jones gave Alabama the ball at the Gators’ 42. Facing a third-and-5, McElroy moved the chains with an 11-yard scramble to the 26. Consecutive runs by Trent Richardson gave Alabama a first down at the eight before Ingram finished off the drive three plays later with a one-yard score. Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick intercepted Brantley on Florida’s next possession, and the Crimson Tide’s advantage grew to 24-0 after Maze hooked up with Michael Williams on a 19-yard touchdown. Chas Henry drilled a 39-yard field goal to put the Gators on the board with 36 seconds remaining in the first half. Brantley guided Florida into the red zone on the first drive of the third quarter before stalling at the four-yard line. This time, Meyer settled for a Henry 21-yard field goal. After Alabama was forced to punt, Mosley made it 31-6 by returning an interception 35 yards. With the help of several Crimson Tide penalties, Florida marched to the Alabama one-yard line on its next drive, but a poor exchange between Brantley and running back Emmanuel Moody resulted in a fumble that was recovered by Alabama linebacker Courtney Upshaw as the third quarter neared its conclusion. The Gators did not pose much of a threat in the final 15 minutes. SCORING SUMMARY Florida Alabama

GAME 6 - SOUTH CAROLINA, OCTOBER 9, 2010

COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina pulled off its first ever win over the top-ranked team in the country, as Stephen Garcia threw three touchdowns to help the 19th-ranked Gamecocks topple the defending national champion Alabama Crimson Tide, 35-21, at Williams-Brice Stadium. Garcia, who was a perfect 9-of-9 for 94 yards and three scores en route to a 21-9 halftime lead, wound up 17-of-20 for 201 yards in the upset win. Alshon Jeffery was Garcia’s primary target, catching seven passes for 127 yards and two TDs. Marcus Lattimore rushed for 93 yards and two touchdowns in South Carolina’s signature win under head coach Steve Spurrier, who moved into second place on the all-time SEC wins list. The 35 points was the most scored by an Alabama opponent since LSU scored 41 in a 41-34 Crimson Tide loss on November 3, 2007. Mark Ingram, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner who gashed the Gamecocks for 246 yards on the ground last year, was bottled up for 41 yards on 11 carries. Greg McElroy completed 27-of-34 passes for 315 yards and two scores for Alabama (5-1, 2-1). The Gamecocks scored a touchdown on each of their first three touches, the initial score coming when Lattimore came out of the backfield unaccounted for, caught a short pass and shed a block at the five to go in for the nine-yard TD. After forcing an Alabama punt near midfield, Garcia extended a drive on 4th-and-2 from the Alabama 33 when he was hit in the backfield on a shotgun draw, spun free and managed to run for the first down anyway. It was the first time all season South Carolina attempted a fourth-down conversion. On the next play, Garcia threw a corner route to the right pylon, and Jeffery hauled in a 26-yard lob with a defender draped over his back in the final minute of the first quarter. On the first play of the next drive, Antonio Allen hit McElroy just as he was about to throw, causing a fumble that the hosts recovered at the Alabama 43. The turnover was converted into a TD, as Garcia found Jeffery on a fade route in the end zone for a surprising 21-3 game at the 13:52 mark. The Tide then used its vaunted running game and short passing attack to hold the ball for the next 9:17, only to come away empty-handed. On 3rd-and-4 from the opposing nine, McElroy was sacked to bring out Shelley, who from the left hash mark pushed his 31-yard chip shot wide right. South Carolina took over with 4 1/2 minutes left in the half and failed to move the line of scrimmage before punting. McElroy completed three passes to reach the South Carolina 10, and on third down from eight, Julio Jones caught a jump ball in the middle of the end zone to cut into the deficit. The start of the second half appeared to shift the momentum toward Alabama as a high snap on the first play from scrimmage soared over Garcia’s head. The ball bounced inside South Carolina’s own fiveyard line, and Garcia gathered the ball at the one running towards the end zone. Rather than take a knee or attempt to throw the ball away, the quarterback tossed the ball through the back of the end zone for a conceded safety and a 21-11 game. A short field and a fourth-down conversion had the Tide moving on the ensuing possession, but the visitors only managed three points out of it on Jeremy Shelley’s 39-yarder 5:23 into the half. The Gamecocks quelled the shift of the tide thanks in part to Jeffery making a pair first down catches in South Carolina territory on the next drive. Garcia converted another third-down try to Tori Gurley, and runs of 17 and 11 by Brian Maddox and Lattimore, respectively, set up a quick option toss to Lattimore for a one-yard TD with 1:42 remaining in the third. Alabama answered on the opening play of the fourth quarter, as Darius Hanks found himself wide open down the middle of the field for a 51-yard catch and run and a 28-21 contest. Less than a minute later, Will Lowery made a diving interception on a ball dropped by Jeffery in Carolina territory, but Stephon Gilmore’s sack on third down pushed the ball back to the Carolina 25. Alabama faked a 42-yard field goal attempt that proved unsuccessful when Ed Stinson dropped AJ McCarron’s short pass in the left flat. Spurrier was then faced with a touch decision on 4th-and-1 at his own 35. After calling timeout, South Carolina brought out the offense and Garcia took it himself for a two-yard sneak to move the chains. Lattimore rushed for a first down before Jeffery made a highlight-reel grab, shaking his defender and sprinting down the right sideline for a 45-yard pickup down to the six. On 3rd-and-goal from the two, Lattimore bulled over a pair of defenders for a crucial touchdown with 7:01 remaining. The Tide finally got the ball back with 1:41 to play, but it was much too late to pull out another comeback win. Alabama moved the ball into the red zone on its opening drive, but opted for a 32-yard Shelley field goal on 4th-and-1 from the South Carolina 15. SCORING SUMMARY Alabama South Carolina

GAME 7 - MISSISSIPPI, OCTOBER 16, 2010 TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Trent Richardson garnered 220 all-purpose yards to help eighth-ranked Alabama bounce back from its first loss with a 23-10 win over Mississippi at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Richardson caught five passes for 101 yards, ran 11 times for 45 yards and returned three kicks for 74 yards for Alabama (6-1, 3-1 SEC). Greg McElroy rebounded nicely from his first collegiate loss, completing 17-of-25 passes for 219 yards and two touchdowns. While Mississippi came into the game as the clear underdog, the Rebels’ 12 penalties totaling 106 yards helped Alabama consistently have control of field position. Jeremiah Masoli was largely ineffective passing, throwing for just 110 yards on 18-of-40 efficiency with a touchdown and an interception, as Mississippi (3-3, 1-2) had a two-game win streak snapped. The Rebels have historically been dominated in the state of Alabama against the Crimson Tide, dropping to 1-32-1. Alabama started quickly, and the outcome was never in doubt. After the Crimson Tide defense forced an opening three-and-out, McElroy led an 11-play, 46-yard series that ended in a seven-yard scoring throw to Preston Dial. The drive was maintained when, on fourth-and-10 from the Rebels’ 20, Mississippi was called for a personal foul roughing the kicker penalty. Three plays later, Alabama scored. The Tide tacked on Cade Foster’s 49-yard field goal with less than a minute to go in the opening quarter, and the Mississippi offense continued to flounder. Alabama’s Jeremy Shelley kicked a 19-yard field goal for a 13-0 lead before Mississippi finally got across midfield for the first time with under five minutes remaining in the first half. The Rebels couldn’t cash in for the touchdown, but Bryson Rose’s 22-yard field goal put the visitors on the board. Alabama had a quick answer after they regained possession with 1:20 to go. An 11-yard completion to Ingram in addition to a face-mask penalty helped the Crimson Tide gain the Mississippi 43, and McElroy found Marquis Maze for a 15- yard completion into field goal range. Foster drilled his third field goal of the game from 44 yards away on the first half’s final play for a 16-3 margin. Alabama expanded its lead early in the second half on Richardson’s 85-yard catch-and-run to the end zone, though Mississippi’s offense finally came through on its next possession. The Rebels went almost strictly to the pass, and Masoli was able to convert an early third down with a 15-yard pass to Brandon Bolden. Masoli ran for 26 yards on the next play to gain the Alabama 30, and an eight-yard strike to Bolden on 3rd-and-6 kept the drive moving. Three plays later, on 3rd-and-7 from the 15, Masoli hit Melvin Harris in the end zone for a 23-10 contest with 4:25 left in the third. Mississippi never crossed midfield for the remainder of the game. SCORING SUMMARY Mississippi Alabama

GAME 8 - TENNESSEE, OCTOBER 23, 2010

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Julio Jones set school records with 12 catches for 221 yards and the seventhranked Alabama Crimson Tide kept Tennessee winless in conference play with a 41-10 rout of the Volunteers at Neyland Stadium. Greg McElroy completed 21-of-32 passes for 264 yards for the Crimson Tide (7-1, 4-1 SEC), who have won the last four meetings between the schools. Trent Richardson ran for 119 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries, while Mark Ingram had 14 rushes for 88 yards and two scores. Richardson added a receiving touchdown, while McElroy ran for one. Alabama recorded 536 yards of total offense and held Tennessee to just 315, scoring three touchdowns in the third quarter to put the game away. Tauren Poole ran for 117 yards and a score on 14 carries for the Vols (2-5, 0-4) and quarterback Matt Simms completed 11-of-22 passes for 117 yards and was picked off once in the loss. After each team failed on its opening possession, Tennessee used a big play to move in front. Alabama’s defense brought a heavy blitz on the right side on 2nd-and-1 from the Vols’ 41, but the Tennessee offense countered with a Poole run to the left. He avoided a couple defenders before racing down the sideline 59 yards into the end zone with 8:44 left in the first. It was the longest rush of the season for the Vols. The Tide answered with Jeremy Shelley’s 36-yard field goal, and Tennessee went three-and-out, which led to the go-ahead scoring drive by Alabama. Bridging the first and second quarters, the Crimson Tide went 59 yards in nine plays. Richardson’s 13-yard run put Alabama in opposing territory, and consecutive nine-yard gains put the ball on the 28. Two plays later, a 14-yard catch by Jones brought the ball to the 11, and McElroy followed two Richardson carries totaling 10 yards with a one-yard plunge into the end zone for a 10-7 lead with 18 seconds elapsed in the second. Shelley missed a 25-yard field goal with a chance to extend Alabama’s lead, but made up for it with a 42-yarder in the final minute of the first half for a 13-7 game. Tennessee, however, was able to get into position for a Michael Palardy 32-yard field goal just before halftime to cut the margin to three. Alabama carried a 13-10 lead into halftime, but broke the game wide open in the third quarter. On the first play from scrimmage, McElroy hit Jones for a 38-yard gain to gain the Tennessee 32. Ingram followed with a 12-yard run, and Jones caught a 19-yard pass down to the one on the next play. From there, Ingram punched it into the end zone for a 20-10 game 1:40 into the half. Palardy missed a 52-yard field goal on the Vols’ first possession of the quarter, and, after an incompletion on the first play of the ensuing Alabama drive, Richardson rumbled 65 yards for a touchdown and a 17-point Crimson Tide lead. Tennessee looked to get back into the game by marching to the Alabama 11 before a Simms pass was picked off by Robert Lester in the end zone. The Crimson Tide then put together a nine-play, 80-yard drive that all but sealed the outcome, as Ingram’s one-yard touchdown run gave the visitors a 34-10 advantage headed into the fourth quarter. AJ McCarron, who relieved McElroy in the fourth quarter, threw a five-yard touchdown pass to Richardson midway through the final stanza to account for the final margin.

GAME 9 - LSU NOVEMBER 6, 2009 BATON ROUGE, La. – Stevan Ridley scored the go-ahead touchdown and Josh Jasper booted three field goals to lead 12th-ranked LSU to a 24-21 triumph over fifth-ranked Alabama at Tiger Stadium. Jordan Jefferson went 10-of-13 for 141 yards and a touchdown, while Ridley ran for 88 yards and the score on 24 carries for the Tigers (8-1, 5-1 SEC), who moved into second place in the SEC West, one game behind Auburn. Jarrett Lee connected on 4-of-7 passes for 67 yards, including a key throw in the fourth quarter to Rueben Randle, who made three catches for 125 yards and a touchdown for the Tigers. Greg McElroy threw for 223 yards on 21-of-34 accuracy with two touchdowns and an interception for the Crimson Tide (7-2, 4-2), who had their hopes of a repeat SEC and national championship dashed. Mark Ingram amassed 97 yards on 21 rushes, while Julio Jones made 10 receptions for 89 yards and a score for Alabama, which lost its sixth of the last eight meetings with LSU. After the teams traded punts to start the game, LSU’s Kelvin Sheppard picked off McElroy on the next Alabama drive, leading to a 45-yard Jasper field goal. Alabama bridged the end of the first quarter and start of the second with an 11-play, 81-yard drive to take a 7-3 lead. Trent Richardson reached the one on a 22-yard jaunt and then was stopped twice for no gain bringing up third down. McElroy rolled right and found Richardson in the flat. The sophomore reached for the goal line as he was being brought down by Patrick Peterson and, just as his arm and ball crossed the plane and hit the ground, the ball popped out forcing an instant replay review, which upheld the touchdown ruling on the field. Richardson was injured on the play and returned for only one carry early in the fourth quarter. He finished with 28 yards on six carries. LSU was staring at a 4th-and-1 at its own 40 during its first second half possession and called for a fake punt that was successful, as Jasper ran for 29 yards to the Alabama 31. The drive stalled after an incompletion and Jasper missed wide left from 45 yards out. After an Alabama punt pinned the Tigers at their own six-yard line, the hosts needed just two plays to regain the lead. Jefferson connected with Terrence Toliver for 19 yards to the 25 and then hit Randle in stride on a crossing pattern at the LSU 45, as the fleet wideout streaked down the right side line to paydirt with 8:17 remaining in the third quarter. It was Jefferson’s first scoring pass since LSU’s opening game of the season. The Tide responded with a 10-play, 73-yard march to move in front 14-10 with 2:30 to play in the period. McElroy completed three passes and Ingram carried seven times for 29 yards, including the last five on a pitchout around the left end for the go-ahead TD. Jasper’s 35-yard field goal 44 seconds into the final quarter brought LSU to within one and capped a seven-play, 53-yard series. Trailing 14-13, LSU forced a three-and-out and took over at its own 23 with 12:10 to go in the game. The Tigers moved 77 yards, all on the ground, on 11 plays to regain the lead. Facing 4th-and-1 at the Tide 26, Les Miles called timeout and opted against a field goal try. Instead, the Tigers ran a reverse that DeAngelo Peterson took to the three to set up first-and-goal. Two runs got the ball to the one before Ridley banged in on third down to put the Tigers back on top. Alabama called timeout before LSU went for two and got it when Jefferson rolled right and drilled a pass to Randle to make it a 21-14 game with 8:13 to go. On the second play on the ensuing possession, Drake Nevis jarred the ball loose from McElroy and it was recovered by Sheppard at the Tide 28 with 7 1/2 minutes remaining. Ridley carried three times for six yards before Jasper came on to knock in a 39-yard field goal to extend the LSU lead to ten with 5:34 left in the game. Alabama responded with a nine-play, 74-yard march in just over two minutes that was finished off by McElroy’s nine-yard scoring strike to Jones that trimmed the lead to 24-21 with 3:23 to go. LSU got the ball back but was forced to punt. Alabama was unsuccessful in going 86 yards in 18 seconds as the game ended on a failed hook and lateral.

GAME 10 - MISSISSIPPI STATE, NOVEMBER 13, 2010

TUSCALOOSA, Ala.– Greg McElroy completed 12-of-18 passes for 227 yards and two touchdowns, while being intercepted once, as 11th-ranked Alabama earned a convincing 30-10 win over 17th-ranked Mississippi State at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Mark Ingram ran for 53 yards on 18 carries and caught two passes for 77 yards and a score while Marquis Maze made five grabs for 89 yards and a touchdown for the Crimson Tide (8-2 overall, 5-2 in the SEC), who have taken three straight and eight of the last 10 meetings from the Bulldogs. Julio Jones made three catches for 41 yards and dashed 56 yards for a touchdown for the hosts, who have won 19 straight home games. Chris Relf connected on 8-of-16 passes for 70 and was intercepted once before being relieved by Tyler Russell, who went 4-for-7 for 80 yards and a touchdown for the Bulldogs (7-3, 3-3), who had a six-game win streak, their longest since 1999, snapped. Alabama got the ball to start the game and moved to the Bulldogs’ 19-yard line before Ingram gained one yard on 3rd-on-2. Jeremy Shelley came on to nail a 36-yard field goal to get the Tide on the board 3:05 into the game. The teams then traded field goals, as Derek DePasquale’s 24-yard field goal tied the game with just over 5 1/2 minutes to go in the quarter before Cade Foster put the hosts ahead again with a 45-yarder with 50 seconds to go. McElroy found Maze on the right side for a short completion before he shed a tackle, slashed inside to his left at the Bulldogs’ 30 and raced into the end zone to give Alabama a 13-3 edge with 7:09 to go before halftime. Mississippi State picked up a couple of first downs on its next drive before it stalled and they were forced to punt. Maze brought the kick back 81 yards for a touchdown that was nullified by a penalty but the Tide wasted little time making up for their mistake. On the ensuing play, Ingram took a screen pass to the right side, got a great Jones block and outraced every tackler down the sideline 78 yards to paydirt to finish off the longest reception of his career and give the Tide a 20-3 advantage. Jones ran right on an end around, slipped a tackle at midfield and sprinted to the end zone to finish off his 56-yard run on Alabama’s first play from scrimmage in the second half to extend the margin to 27-3. Shelley added his second field goal of the night from 28 yards out just over three minutes into the fourth quarter to give the Tide a 27-point cushion. Tyler Russell took over for Relf and directed a 10-play, 78-yard drive that he capped off with a 27-yard scoring pass to Chad Bumphis, who outleaped two defenders to make the grab with just over eight minutes left in the game.

GAME 11 - GEORGIA STATE, NOVEMBER 18, 2010

TUSCALOOSA, Ala.. – Greg McElroy threw two touchdown passes to Julio Jones, as the 10th-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide annihilated the Georgia State Panthers, 63-7. McElroy completed 12-of-13 passes for 159 yards for the Crimson Tide (9-2), who have won their 20th consecutive game at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Jones caught seven passes for 86 yards. Mark Ingram carried the ball 12 times for 86 yards and a touchdown, while Eddie Lacy rushed for 81 yards and a score on 13 carries for Alabama. Drew Little connected on 4-of-11 passes for 69 yards and four interceptions for the Panthers (6-5), who concluded their inaugural season of football. Alabama made sure to put the game away early. The Crimson Tide opened the game with an eight-play, 67-yard drive. Jones capped the march with an eight-yard touchdown catch. Georgia State’s first play on offense resulted in a 55-yard pass from Little to Emmanuel Ogbuehi. Later in the drive, Little was picked off by Mark Barron. It took Alabama 11 plays to find the end zone this time around. Faced with a 4th-and-goal from the one, Ingram rumbled into the end zone to make it 14-0 with 3:55 to go in the first quarter. Cade Foster missed a 54-yard field goal on the next Crimson Tide possession. Alabama made up for Foster’s miss when C.J. Mosley picked off Little early in the second period and raced 41 yards the other way for a touchdown. After the Panthers went three-and-out, Jones ended a four-play, 72-yard march with a 10-yard TD catch for a 28-0 advantage with about 10 minutes remaining. Just moments later, Brandon Gibson returned a blocked punt 22 yards for a touchdown. Lacy added to Alabama’s lead with a three-yard rushing touchdown. Albert Wilson returned the ensuing kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown to make it a 42-7 game at the half. Little was intercepted again early in the third quarter, leading to Chris Underwood’s seven-yard touchdown catch. Demetrius Goode’s one-yard rushing touchdown with over six minutes remaining made it a 56-7 game. Jalston Fowler broke a 36-yard run for a touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter to account for the final score. SCORING SUMMARY Georgia State Alabama

GAME 12 - AUBURN, NOVEMBER 26, 2010

TUSCALOOSA, Ala.. – The second-ranked Auburn Tigers erased an early 24-point Alabama lead as quarterback Cam Newton led the Tigers back in the second half for an improbable 28-27 victory over ninth-ranked Alabama in the 75th Iron Bowl at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Auburn was able to surge back with a stifling defense. After surrendering 379 yards to the Crimson Tide offense in the first half, the Tigers held Alabama to 67 yards in the final 30 minutes of play. Greg McElroy threw for a career-high 377 yards and two touchdowns for Alabama (9-3, 5-3) but he was knocked out of the game on the penultimate drive of the game when he was driven into the ground on his right shoulder during a sack. Alabama came into the game without a first-quarter touchdown in the last 13 meetings with Auburn, but found the end zone three times in the early going to assert dominance. The Crimson Tide received the ball first and traveled 71 yards in seven plays. McElroy went 3-for-3 for 23 yards, and Ingram capped the series with a nine- yard burst up the middle for an easy touchdown 3 1/2 minutes into the game. Auburn went three-and-out on its first drive, and Alabama doubled its lead on a big play. McElroy threw a 13-yard completion to Preston Dial on the first play of the ensuing drive before finding Jones behind the defense all alone near the left sideline. Jones caught a deep pass in stride and raced untouched to the end zone for a 68-yard score and a 14-0 lead with 8:39 still to play in the first. The Tigers continued to struggle, as Newton was sacked on the next two plays from scrimmage. Following an incompletion, Auburn punted again. Alabama faced its first third down on its next touch – 3rd-and-8 from the Auburn 36 – and the Tigers sacked McElroy for an 11-yard loss; however, Nick Fairley, who recorded the sack, was whistled for a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for an excessive celebration, and the Crimson Tide went for it on 4th-and-4. Maze made a tip-toe catch on the sideline to prolong the drive, which ended on McElroy’s 12-yard touchdown pass to Darius Hanks for a 21-0 lead with less than two minutes left in the opening quarter. As Auburn continued to struggle, Alabama failed to put the nail in the coffin. Ingram had a screen pass go for 41 yards to the Tigers’ 19 before fumbling the ball away into the end zone, and the Crimson Tide had to settle for Jeremy Shelley’s 20-yard field goal with eight minutes left in the half after having 1st-and-goal inside the five. The Tigers answered the field goal with their first scoring drive of the game, an 80-yard march that took eight plays. Newton found Emory Blake wide-open down the left sideline for a 36-yard touchdown catch and 24-7 contest with five minutes left. Alabama had a chance to tack on a touchdown just before halftime, but McElroy fumbled the ball away inside the Auburn 10-yard line. On the second play from scrimmage of the second half, the Tigers climbed back into it on Newton’s 70-yard touchdown pass to Terrell Zachery, who caught the slightly underthrown ball at the 35, broke two tackles and made it to the end zone easily for a 24-14 margin. After forcing a pair of Alabama punts, Auburn rode its momentum to yet another score. Consecutive runs by Onterio McCalebb totaling 31 yards moved the Tigers to the Crimson Tide 12, and Newton finished off the 75-yard, eight-play series with a one-yard plunge into the end zone to cut the gap to 24-21 with 4:25 left in the third. The Tigers looked to get the ball back after forcing a second consecutive three-and-out, but Quindarius Carr failed to call for a fair catch on the punt and fumbled the ball away. Alabama tacked on a 32-yard field goal from Jeremy Shelley for a six-point lead with 1:05 to go. Auburn was undeterred, however, and used some gutsy play-calling to score the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth. Facing a 4th-and-3 from the Alabama 47, Newton found Darvin Adams, who narrowly kept his feet in bounds for a nine-yard gain. Four plays later, Newton found Philip Lutzenkirchen wide open in the flat for a sevenyard touchdown and 28-27 lead with 11:55 remaining. Alabama started the ensuing drive at its own 31 and got stuck near midfield. A four-yard completion to Marquis Maze put the Crimson Tide in a 4th-and-1 situation, and McElroy was able to dive just far enough to gain the first down at the 49-yard line. After another first down, Mark Ingram rushed for a loss, McElroy threw an incompletion, and Auburn’s T’Sharvan Bell came around the right edge to sack McElroy for a four-yard loss. On the sack, Bell drove the quarterback into the ground on his head and right shoulder, leaving McElroy on the ground in pain before walking off in a daze. After a short Alabama punt, the Tigers took over at their own 27 with 5 1/2 minutes to go. Alabama held and got the ball back with 51 seconds left in the game but it was too late. The 24-point lead lost is the largest lead lost by Alabama in a game. SCORING SUMMARY Alabama Auburn

GAME 13 - MICHIGAN STATE, JANUARY 1, 2011 ORLANDO, Fla. – Mark Ingram ran for two scores to break the school record for career touchdowns, and the 15th-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide rolled past No. 7 Michigan State 49-7 in the most lopsided Capital One Bowl in the game’s history. The 2009 Heisman Trophy winner had 59 yards rushing on 12 carries and a 30-yard reception against the team he rooted for as a kid. Greg McElroy threw for 220 yards and one touchdown, and the game got so out of hand that the Crimson Tide (10-3) pulled most of their starters early in the third quarter. Ingram also moved past Shaun Alexander’s mark (41) with 42 career touchdowns. The margin of victory topped East Texas State’s 33-0 victory over Tennessee Tech in the 1953 game, then known as the Tangerine Bowl. The bowl dates back to 1947. The Crimson Tide found the end zone on their first five possessions, held the Spartans (11-2) to 171 total yards and sacked Kirk Cousins four times in their most dominant performance all season. Cousins had 120 yards passing, threw one interception and was under pressure all game. Edwin Baker was held to 14 yards rushing for a Spartans team that felt snubbed by the BCS after sharing the Big Ten title. Instead, they were bullied and bruised by a team that knows the big stage well. Alabama (10-3) took the opening kickoff 79 yards on 13 plays and Ingram scored on a 1-yard run to the right side. The Tide never looked back. Ingram, the 2009 Heisman Trophy winner, had 59 yards on 12 carries. He sat most of the second half. Michigan State (11-2) took its opening drive and looked to have something going, but quarterback Kirk Cousins was intercepted by Alabama’s Robert Lester. A short time later, Richardson scored on an 8-yard run to help the Tide grab a 14-0 lead. The Spartans again looked to have something going in the second quarter, driving to Alabama’s 7-yard line, but linebacker Courtney Upshaw hit Cousins from the blindside, forcing a fumble that stalled another Michigan State drive. Upshaw finished with five total tackles, two sacks, and three tackles for loss. He was voted the game’s most valuable player. On the following drive, Alabama drove 80 yards on seven plays and scored when Ingram burst through on the left side for a 6-yard touchdown to put the Tide up by three scores. The touchdown was Ingram’s 42nd career rushing touchdown, making him the school’s all-time leader, passing Shaun Alexander. McElroy, playing his final game for Alabama, was nearly flawless. The fifth-year senior was 13-of-17 for 220 yards and even made a block that sprung Julio Jones on a 35-yard reverse for a touchdown. McElroy was replaced by backup A.J. McCarron at the 9:05 mark in the third quarter. The Spartans, which had the third-best rushing attack in the Big Ten, managed only 48 yards on the ground. It was the second fewest yards allowed on the ground by an Alabama team since 1962. Edwin Baker, the Big Ten’s third-leading rusher, was held to 14 yards on 12 carries. Alabama outgained Michigan State 546-171 in total yards. Alabama rushed for 275 yards on 44 attempts, a 6.2 average. Cousins was under pressure most of the day. The junior was sacked four times and the last one, by Alabama linebacker Alex Watkins, forced him to the sidelines. He was replaced by redshirt freshman Andrew Maxwell, who didn’t fare much better. Maxwell was sacked twice and was replaced by Keith Nichol in the fourth quarter. Nichol connected with wideout Bennie Fowler for a 49-yard touchdown pass with 5:45 left to avoid the shutout.
