2018 ALABAMA FOOTBALL

Roll Tide Roll Previewing the 2018 Alabama Crimson Tide The Alabama Crimson Tide returns 12 starters and 53 lettermen for the 2018 season. On offense – 30 lettermen and seven starters return while the defense will have 21 lettermen and three starters back in the fold, with two starting specialists returning as well. On offense, the Crimson Tide must replace two-year starting center Bradley Bozeman on the line along with record-setting receiver Calvin Ridley and fellow wideout starters Robert Foster and Cam Sims. The Tide returns four starters on the offensive line in guards Ross Pierschbacher and Lester Cotton Sr. and tackles Matt Womack and Jonah Williams. At quarterback, junior incumbent starter Jalen Hurts and sophomore CFP Championship Game MVP Tua Tagovailoa return to compete for the starting job. Hurts and Tagovailoa will have a young but talented receiving corps led by sophomores Jerry Jeudy, Henry Ruggs III and DeVonta Smith. Damien Harris returns for his senior year at running back after producing back-to-back 1,000 yard seasons. He will be joined in the backfield by talented junior Josh Jacobs along with sophomores Najee Harris and Brian Robinson Jr. The defense returns three starters in defensive linemen Isaiah Buggs and Raekwon Davis and outside linebacker Anfernee Jennings. Returnees Quinnen Williams, LaBryan Ray and Johnny Dwight will battle a host of talented newcomers for time on the defensive front. Jennings will be joined at outside linebacker by redshirt senior Christian Miller, who missed most of 2017 due to injury but returned for the College Football Playoff and gives the Tide a disruptive presence on the edge. Junior Mack Wilson and sophomore Dylan Moses appear ready to anchor the inside linebackers along with juniors Joshua McMillon and Ben Davis. Senior Jamey Mosley and sophomore Christopher Allen help headline a deep corps of linebackers. The Crimson Tide must replace five defensive backs from last year’s national championship squad. Redshirt junior Deonte Thompson is the leading returning tackler in the secondary and headlines a returnee group that includes juniors Shyheim Carter, Trevon Diggs and Jared Mayden along with sophomores Xavier McKiney and Daniel Wright. Junior college transfer Saivion Smith is also expected to contend for a significant role in the Tide secondary along with bevy of talented newcomers. Alabama said goodbye to the school’s career punting leader, JK Scott, following the 2017 season along with placekicker Andy Pappanastos, who posted one of the top-10 scoring seasons in school history in his final year at the Capstone. True freshman Skyler DeLong arrived in the spring to bolster the punter position while redshirt freshman Joseph Bulovas and Temple graduate transfer Austin Jones will look to fill Pappanastos’ role. The Tide also returns its leading punt returner in junior Trevon Diggs and leading kick returner in sophomore Henry Ruggs III. Alabama welcomes back both primary long snappers from a season ago in sophomore Thomas Fletcher and redshirt sophomore Scott Meyer.

ROLLTIDE.COM

Damien Harris is Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading returning rusher. The senior ran for 1,000 yards and 11 touchdowns on 135 carries in 2017.

2018 ALABAMA FOOTBALL

Offense Alabama’s offense will return seven starters and 30 lettermen in 2018 including two-time 1,000-yard rusher Damien Harris and quarterback Jalen Hurts along with tight end Hale Hentges and four-fifths of the offensive line - tackles Jonah Williams and Matt Womack and guards Ross Pierschbacher and Jonah Williams. Hurts, who is 26-2 in his two seasons as a starter, has led the Crimson Tide to back-to-back College Football Playoff National Championship Game appearances and the Tide’s 17th national title last season. He threw for 2,081 yards and 17 touchdowns with just one interception as a sophomore and was second on the team in rushing behind Harris with 855 yards and eight scores. Sophomore Tua Tagovailoa also returns at quarterback to compete with Hurts for the starting job after a solid freshman campaign that included the game-winning 41-yard touchdown pass against Georgia in overtime to clinch the national championship. Harris’ decision to return for his senior season gives the Tide an experienced and versatile backfield. The Richmond, Ky., native has run for 2,037 yards and 13 touchdowns over the last two seasons and is averaging 6.7 yards per carry for his career. Also returning in 2018 are senior Ronnie Clark, junior Josh Jacobs and sophomores Najee Harris and Brian Robinson Jr. Najee Harris rushed for 370 yards as a freshman, including a team-high 65 yards in the CFP National Championship Game. Jacobs was slowed by injury as a sophomore after a breakout freshman campaign in 2016 that saw him average 6.7 yards per carry, good for second on the squad. Robinson Jr. averaged nearly seven yards per carry in limited action as a freshman while Clark provided valuable depth in the backfield throughout the 2017 season. Alabama returns a host of talented receivers that includes sophomores Jerry Jeudy, Henry Ruggs III and DeVonta Smith along with Hentges at tight end. Jeudy is the the Tide’s leading returning receiver after catching 14 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns. Ruggs III caught 12 balls in 2017 with six of them going for touchdowns. Smith hauled in eight passes, with three for scores, including the game-winner in the national championship game. Senior Derek Kief and redshirt freshman Tyrell Shavers headline a group of returnees and freshmen who will also battle for playing time. At tight end, Hentges, who has been a valuable commodity at position during his time in Tuscaloosa, made the most of his passing targets last year with three touchdowns on seven catches. Junior Irv Smith Jr. turned in a very productive season in 2017 as a pass catcher with 14 receptions for 128 yards and three scores and redshirt sophomore MIller Forristall is looking to return to form after a knee injury cut his 2017 campaign short. Alabama also returns four starters on the offensive line in guards Ross Pierschbacher and Lester Cotton Sr. and tackles Jonah Williams and Matt Womack. Pierschbacher apears poised to make the move to center to replace the departed Bradley Bozeman after three years starting at left guard, while Cotton is the incumbent on the right side after earning the starting nod there in 2017. Williams has started all 29 games of his career for the Tide, including 15 at right tackle in 2016 and 14 on the left side in 2017. Womack stepped into Williams’ vacated right tackle spot in 2017 and returns for a second year there this season. A number of talented linemen will battle for a role on the Tide’s offensive front in 2018, including returnees Alex Leatherwood, Jedrick Wills Jr., Deonte Brown, Joshua Casher, Scott Lashley, Chris Owens and Richie Petitbon.

Anfernee Jennings is one of three returnees on the Crimson Tide defense. The junior finished 2017 with 41 tackles, six tackles for loss and two forced fumbles.

10 2018 ALABAMA FOOTBALL

Defense The Alabama defense returns three starters and a number of key reserves who gained valuable experience during the 2017 championship run. That experience gives the Crimson Tide a chance to field another outstanding unit in 2018. The Tide returns two starters on the defensive line in senior Isaiah Buggs and junior Raekwon Davis along with starting outside linebacker junior Anfernee Jennings. The Alabama defense must replace seven players who were selected in the NFL draft, led by first round draft picks Minkah Fitzpatrick, Da’Ron Payne and Rashaan Evans. Jennings returns to lead a deep linebacking corps that includes key contributors in redshirt senior Christian Miller, junior Mack Wilson and sophomore Dylan Moses. Jennings finished the 2017 season with 41 tackles, including six stops for a loss and a quarterback sack. He also chipped in with four quarterback hurries, two pass breakups and a pair of forced fumbles. Wilson is the No. 2 returning tackler at linebacker with 40 stops and also four interceptions that included one returned for a touchdown against Clemson in the Allstate Sugar Bowl. Moses moved into the starting lineup late last season prior to an injury cutting his year short, but not before recording 30 tackles with 5.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and an interception in 11 games. Miller, who missed the majority of the season after suffering an injury in the 2017 opener against Florida State, returned for the final three games of the season and chipped in with six tackles, two tackles for loss and a sack in limited action. Senior Jamey Mosley, junior Joshua McMillon and sophomores Christopher Allen and Ben Davis also saw significant action a season ago and will battle for playing time in 2018. Buggs and Davis return to anchor the Tide defensive front. Davis provides size and speed up front and is Alabama’s leading returning tackler with 69 stops, 10 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks. Buggs tallied 51 tackles in his first season in Tuscaloosa and was a disruptive force on the defensive front. Returnees Johnny Dwight, LaBryan Ray and Quinnen Williams will battle with a host of talented newcomers for playing time. In addition to Fitzpatrick, Alabama saw two other 2017 secondary starters selected in the 2018 NFL Draft in Ronnie Harrison and Anthony Averett. The Tide also lost starters Levi Wallace and Hootie Jones and key contributor Tony Brown to graduation as well, with Brown and Wallace earning NFL opportunities as well. Redshirt junior Deonte Thompson is the leading returning tackler in the secondary with 25 stops and headlines a returnee group that includes juniors Shyheim Carter, Trevon Diggs and Jared Mayden along with sophomore Daniel Wright. Junior college transfer Saivion Smith is also expected to contend for a significant role in the Tide secondary along with a host of talented newcomers.

Junior Trevon Diggs is back in 2018 to lead a talented Tide return unit.

12 2018 ALABAMA FOOTBALL

special teams Alabama said goodbye to the school’s career punting leader, JK Scott, following the 2017 season along with placekicker Andy Pappanastos, who posted one of the top-10 scoring seasons in school history in his final year at the Capstone. Senior Mike Bernier and freshman Skyler DeLnog are among the candidates to replace Scott while redshirt freshman Joseph Bulovas and transfer Austin Jones will look to fill Pappanastos’ shoes. The Tide also returns its leading punt returner in junior Trevon Diggs and leading kick returner, sophomore Henry Ruggs III along with its primary long snappers from a season ago in sophomore Thomas Fletcher and redshirt sophomore Scott Meyer. Diggs and Ruggs III accounted for 69 percent of the Tide’s kick and punt return yards in 2017 (513 of 739). Diggs averaged 8.6 yards per punt return and added 74 yards in kickoff returns on two attempts. Ruggs averaged 18.4 yards per kickoff return and also returned eight punts for 46 yards a season ago. DeLong was one of the top punters in the 2018 recruiting class and will battle with Bernier, who redshirted in 2017 after transferring from Eastern Illinois, to replace the dependable Scott. Bulovas redshirted in 2017 after coming to Alabama as one of the top placekickers in the 2017 signing class. Jones is a graduate transfer from Temple, where he ended his career as the Owls’ No. 4 career scorer and set a school record with 19 consecutive made field goals in 2016. The one area that is unchanged from 2017 will be at long snapper, where Thomas Fletcher and Scott Meyer return. As freshmen, Fletcher handled punt-snapping duties while Meyer secured the starting spot as the Tide’s PAT and field goal snapper. Both ended their debut seasons perfect on all snapping opportunities.

Nick

Saban 12th Year • Head Coach • Kent State, 1973 A man of vision who has a proven record of championship success, head coach Nick Saban has returned the University of Alabama to the top of the college football landscape with his commitment to building the total program. After the victory over Georgia in the 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship Game, Saban joined Paul “Bear” Bryant as the only two coaches to win six national titles in the poll era of college football. Beginning his 12th season in Tuscaloosa, Saban’s uncompromising dedication to excellence in every phase of the program has resulted five national championships since 2009. A six-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. Saban’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.

COACHES/STAFF

The most recent example of his team’s ability to overcome adversity and achieve victory was the 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship Game. Saban’s team overcame a 13-0 halftime deficit for a 26-23 overtime victory that secured Alabama’s 17th national championship. The victory also improved Saban’s career record to 6-1 in national championship games and 13-2 in championship games (SEC/National). The 2017 Crimson Tide earned its fourth straight trip to the College Football Playoff and defeated No. 1 Clemson 24-6 in the Allstate Sugar Bowl. Alabama is the only team to earn an invitation each of the four years of the CFP’s existence. The Tide finished the season with a 13-1 record and a share of the SEC Western Division title. Alabama had 10 players earn first team All-SEC honors while Minkah Fitzpatrick captured the Bednarik Award as the National Defensive Player of the Year and the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation’s top defensive back. Fitzpatrick and linebacker Rashaan Evans earned first team AllAmerica honors. Saban’s defense led the nation in scoring (11.9 ppg), total defense (260.4 ypg) and rushing defense (94.7 ypg) while ranking second in pass efficiency defense (96.78). The offensive side of the ball finished 13th nationally in rushing (250.6 ypg) and 15th in scoring (37.1 ppg). The senior class posted a NCAA-record 53-5 mark from 2014-17 and a 64-7 mark over the last five years which is also the best in NCAA annals. Saban has compiled a 223-62-1 (.781) record (218-62-1 after vacations) as a college head coach and has gone 125-14 (.899) in the past 10 seasons in Tuscaloosa, which is the best of any major college school over a 10-year span since Bud Wilkinson and Oklahoma in the late 1940s through the late 1950s. UA’s 125 wins over the past decade are the most for any FBS school during a 10-yard span in the Associated Press poll era (since 1936). The Crimson

Tide also boast a 71-9 (.888) mark in regular season conference play since 2008. In 2017, the Tide reached the 10-win milestone for the 10th consecutive season and won 11 or more games for the seventh straight year, which extended the conference record. Alabama has won at least 12 games in four straight years and became the third in the poll era to win at least 13 games in three straight seasons. Since Saban’s second season in Tuscaloosa in 2008, the Tide have played just three regular-season games in which it hasn’t been in contention for the national championship – the final three regular season games of the 2010 season – a staggering 118 of 121 games, while posting a 112-9 (.926) record in regular-season games. In Saban’s five national championship seasons at Alabama, his teams have gone 17-2 against top-10 opponents, and since 2008, the Crimson Tide is 27-9 overall against top10 teams. Alabama has been ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press poll for at least one week for 10 straight years, which broke the all-time record of seven established by Miami (1986-92). Alabama has not lost to an unranked team since 2007 and have lost just one game to a team ranked outside the top 15 in the AP poll in the last 10 years (No. 19 South Carolina in 2010). For perspective, no team in the FBS has lost fewer than 10 games to teams outside the top 15 in that same time frame. Saban’s 2016 squad completed an undefeated regular season for the first time since 2009 and secured the program’s 26th SEC Championship – the third straight for the program – and the fourth in the last five years. The Tide defeated Washington in the semifinals of the College Football Playoff in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl (24-7), before dropping a 35-31 game to Clemson in the CFP National Championship Game in Tampa, Fla. Alabama finished with a 14-1 record after defeating nine ranked teams and 11 teams that qualified for bowl games during the 2016 season. Alabama finished the year No. 2 in the national polls. Saban, who was named the SEC Coach of the Year and Munger Award National Coach of the Year (presented by the Maxwell Football Club), had five players earn first team All-America honors – Jonathan Allen, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Reuben Foster, Marlon Humphrey and Cam Robinson. Allen also captured the Nagurski Trophy and the Bednarik Award, both of which go to the national defensive player of the year, and the Hendricks Award as the nation’s top defensive end, while Foster won the Butkus Award that is given to the nation’s best linebacker, and Robinson captured the Outland Trophy. The senior class posted a then-NCAA-record 51-6 record from 2013-16. The 2015 team secured the Crimson Tide’s fourth national championship in the last seven years. They became the first team to win back-to-back

Southeastern Conference Championships in 17 years (Tennessee, 1997-98) and were the only program to earn an invitation to each of the first two College Football Playoffs. Saban led his team to victories in the final 12 games of the season, including wins at No. 8 Georgia, at No. 9 Texas A&M, vs. No. 4 LSU, at No. 17 Mississippi State, against No. 18 Florida in the SEC Championship Game, vs. No. 3 Michigan State in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl and over No. 1 Clemson in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game. The senior class won a schoolrecord 50 games (50-6) over their four years with three SEC Championships and two national titles. The Crimson Tide featured Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry, who also captured the Maxwell Award, Walter Camp Player of the Year and Doak Walker Award. Ryan Kelly won the Rimington Trophy as the nation’s top center. Linebacker Reggie Ragland was a finalist for the Butkus Award, Nagurski Trophy and the Bednarik Award, while A’Shawn Robinson was a finalist for Outland Trophy. The offensive line was also awarded the Joe Moore Award, which goes to the nation’s toughest line. All four of the Tide’s finalists garnered first team AllAmerica honors, while Eddie Jackson was a secondteam selection. Henry set school records for rushing yards (2,219), rushing touchdowns (28), rushing attempts (395) and all-purpose yardage (2,310). A trademark of Saban-coached teams, the Tide ranked among the nation’s best on both sides of the ball, checking in at No. 1 in the country in rushing defense, No. 3 in total defense and scoring defense, and eighth in pass efficiency defense while averaging 199.9 rushing yards and 227.1 passing yards per game on offense. Special teams were also impressive in 2015 with Cyrus Jones setting the SEC record with four punt returns for touchdowns and place-kicker Adam Griffith connecting on 23 of his final 28 field goals. Saban’s on-side kick call in the national championship game proved key, propelling the Crimson Tide to the program’s 16th national title. In the classroom, the numbers were just as astounding, as UA had a nation-leading 29 graduates on the roster for the bowl game including three players with their master’s degree in hand. Saban became the first coach to win back-toback BCS national championships at the end of the 2012 season, and he is one of three college coaches in the poll era (since 1936) to win three national championships in four years (2009-2012), joining Frank Leahy of Notre Dame (1946-47, 1949) and Tom Osborne of Nebraska (1994-95, 1997). He is also just the second (Leahy) to win four titles in seven years, a feat he has now accomplished twice (200912 and 2011-17). Saban, the 2014 Bobby Dodd National Coach of the Year, led the Crimson Tide to the top seed in the first College Football Playoff at the 2015 Allstate

Sugar Bowl, Alabama’s 24th SEC Championship and a 12-2 record. Alabama won its final eight games to earn a spot in the playoff, including a closing gauntlet that included wins at No. 14 LSU, over No. 1 Mississippi State, against No. 15 Auburn and versus No. 14 Missouri in the SEC Championship. The 2014 senior class finished with a 48-6 record over four years and went to four straight New Year’s Six Bowls, including national championships in 2011 and 2012. The Crimson Tide featured Heisman Trophy finalist and UA’s first-ever Biletnikoff Award winner Amari Cooper and Nagurski Trophy and Thorpe Award finalist Landon Collins. Along with Cooper and Collins, Ray Guy Award finalist punter JK Scott, linebacker Trey DePriest and offensive guard Arie Kouandjio garnered first team All-America honors. SEC Championship Game MVP Blake Sims set school records for total offense (3,837 yards) and passing yards (3,487), while Cooper established UA marks in every receiving category. The Tide ranked among the nation’s best on both sides of the ball, checking in at No. 6 in the country in scoring defense and 15th overall in scoring offense. In the classroom, Alabama had 22 graduates on the roster for the bowl game (tied for the most in the nation) and seven players with their master’s degree in hand (first in the nation). Saban led the 2013 Alabama team to the Allstate Sugar Bowl, making a sixth straight New Year’s bowl appearance and the third straight in a BCS bowl. That senior class posted a remarkable record of 60-7 over their last five years with four bowl wins and three national titles. Their record in the classroom was just as impressive as 28 Crimson Tide graduates took the field for the bowl matchup with Oklahoma. Senior quarterback AJ McCarron was named a first team All-American, won the Maxwell and Unitas Awards, and finished as the runner-up in the Heisman Trophy voting while directing one of the most productive offenses in school history. On the other side of the ball, senior linebacker C.J. Mosley took home Alabama’s third Butkus Trophy and earned All-America honors for the second straight

year as he led a defense that entered the bowl game ranked second nationally in fewest points allowed. Safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio joined McCarron and Mosley as first team All-Americans. Alabama remained at the forefront of the college football world in 2012 with an explosive offense and a retooled defense that maintained its place as one of the most dominant units in the nation. The Crimson Tide won the program’s 23rd SEC championship (the most in league history) with a victory over Georgia that propelled Alabama into the 2013 Discover BCS National Championship Game, where they soundly defeated Notre Dame by a score of 42-14 to earn the school’s 15th national title. For his efforts following the season, Saban was named the Bobby Bowden National Coach of the Year, his third such honor in his previous four years. Under Saban’s guidance, Alabama boasted a 978 APR score that ranked 11th nationally in 2012 and second in the SEC. The Crimson Tide also had a 75 percent graduation rate, which was among the best in the nation. The Alabama defense led the nation in rush defense (76.4 ypg), total defense (250.0 ypg), and scoring defense (10.9 ppg) in 2012. The Tide offense ranked 12th nationally in scoring at 38.7 points per game, 16th nationally in rushing at 227.5 yards per game and set a school record with 542 points scored in 2012. The Crimson Tide featured four first team All-Americans in 2012, including two along the offensive line in center Barrett Jones and left guard Chance Warmack. A pair of defensive standouts also earned All-America honors in cornerback Dee Milliner and Mosley. Jones captured the Rimington Trophy, presented to the nation’s best center, and the prestigious Campbell Award, as the studentathlete who best combined performance on the field, success in the classroom and service away from the field. The 2012 senior class set school and SEC records for wins, while garnering a 49-5 record since

COACHES/STAFF Coach Saban holding the BCS National Championship Trophy after defeating Notre Dame in Miami.

2009, a mark that tied Nebraska’s NCAA record 49 wins from 1994-97. It also broke the Cornhuskers’ record (60 wins from 1993-97) for the most major college football victories in a five-year period with 61 (2008-12). The 2011 squad produced one of the most dominant defenses in the history of college football and captured Alabama’s 14th national championship with a 21-0 victory over LSU in the BCS National Championship Game. The Tide defense led the nation in all major categories, becoming the second team since national statistics have been compiled, and the first since 1986 (Oklahoma), to accomplish that feat. UA allowed only 8.2 points per game, 183.6 total yards, 72.2 rushing yards, 111.5 passing yards and an 83.7 pass efficiency defense. Alabama finished with a 12-1 record. Saban’s 2011 senior class won 48 games over the span of four seasons (2008-11). Seven members of the 2011 Crimson Tide (including five on defense) were recognized as first team All-Americans by major media outlets, while Jones took home Alabama’s third Outland Trophy and Heisman Trophy finalist Trent Richardson received the Tide’s first Doak Walker Award. The team was recognized with the Disney Spirit Award, which was presented to snapper Carson Tinker, for the team’s response in the community following a tornado that devastated Tuscaloosa on April 27, 2011. Jones also received the ARA Sportsmanship Award and the Wuerffel Trophy. Saban’s efforts earned him the Bobby Bowden National Coach of the Year Award. The Tide also had extensive success in the classroom with 38 SEC Academic Honor Roll selections (a league record) and produced one Academic All-American in Jones. Despite a young roster that listed only eight scholarship seniors, the 2010 Alabama team finished with its third consecutive 10-win season following a dominant 49-7 win over Michigan State in the Capital One Bowl. Five players were named first team All-SEC by either the AP or the league coaches, while six more earned second team All-SEC honors. Most impressively, two players (quarterback Greg

McElroy and Jones) were named first team CoSIDA/ ESPN Academic All-Americans, which marked two consecutive years in which Alabama boasted two of the three CoSIDA/ESPN Academic All-Americans in the SEC. McElroy, the ESPN Academic AllAmerican of the Year, was named a National Football Foundation National-Scholar-Athlete as a finalist for the Campbell Trophy. The 2009 season at Alabama turned out to be one of the most memorable in program history, as the Tide compiled a perfect 14-0 mark and won the 2009 BCS National Championship by defeating Texas, 37-21, at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. 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 Tide moved to No. 1 in both major polls. The SEC championship was the program’s 22nd. On Dec. 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 also was prominent when it came to other honors, as Rolando McClain received the Butkus Award as the nation’s top linebacker and six players earned first-team AP AllAmerica status — a college football record. After the perfect 2009 season concluded, Saban was presented with the first Bobby Bowden National Coach of the Year Award. In addition to the onfield success, the 2009 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 Alabama team finished 7-6 in 2007, but the 2008 season saw a vastly improved 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 Tide returned to national prominence. Alabama 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 2008 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 hardfought SEC Championship Game. The team’s 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 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 yet to have 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 column from the year prior, 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 academic fall semesters in school history. The freshman class set a solid foundation for their future at Alabama as they led the way with an impressive combined gradepoint average of 3.10 in the fall. Before arriving in Tuscaloosa, Saban’s most recent college head coaching stint was a five-season run at LSU that produced a record of 48-16 (.750), one national championship (2003), two Southeastern Conference championships, three SEC Western Division championships, and a 3-2 record in bowl games with two Sugar Bowl victories and a Peach Bowl win. LSU 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.

coaches and staff “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) while at LSU. 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 non-strike season. Most impressively, the Dolphins finished 2005 on a six-game winning streak to end the year, 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 and instilling discipline with responsibility on and off the field transformed the Tigers into a force on the national stage. LSU produced 84 Academic All-SEC honorees in Saban’s five seasons, including 25 members of the 2003 national championship squad. LSU’s graduation rate for football players improved dramatically under his watch and two players – offensive tackle Rodney Reed (2002 and 2003) and offensive lineman Rudy Niswanger (2004) – earned first team Academic All-America honors. Linebacker Bradie James earned a postgraduate scholarship from the National Football Foundation (2003). Saban also spearheaded a $15 million fundraising effort to construct a new academic center for student-athletes at LSU, and he and his players were active in community involvement in the Baton Rouge area, taking part in community service projects, visiting schools to mentor children, and taking time to visit local hospitals on a regular basis. More than 50 of Saban’s LSU players earned their college degrees, in addition to 28 who were selected in the NFL draft (seven in both 2004 and 2006). Named head coach at LSU on Nov. 30, 1999, Saban led an immediate turnaround of a program that had suffered through seven losing seasons during the 1990s. His 48 victories over five seasons ranked third 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 titles. Saban’s 2000 Tigers rebounded from two straight losing seasons to post an 8-4 record, capped by a 31-20 win over No. 15 Georgia Tech in the Peach Bowl. Victories over Tennessee and Mississippi State highlighted that 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 LSU outscored the Vols 21-3 in the final half to erase a 17-10 deficit. They 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 2001 season with a 4734 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 straight New Year’s Day bowl appearance. The Tigers, who faced Texas in the Cotton Bowl, held opponents to under 275 yards per game through the season’s first six games and scored a schoolrecord 30 or more points in six straight games. LSU just missed winning a second consecutive SEC West 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 midseason 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 second national championship with a squad that was among the nation’s most dominant on both sides of the line of scrimmage. The LSU offense scored a schoolrecord 475 points (33.9 per game) while holding 13 of 14 opponents to fewer 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 2003 SEC title game paved LSU’s way to an appearance in the BCS Championship Game against top-ranked Oklahoma. The Tigers produced a dominant defensive effort against the Sooners in the Sugar Bowl, limiting the Sooners to 154 yards of total offense in a 21-14 victory. Saban’s final LSU team in 2004 overcame the loss of 13 players from the 2003 squad who went on to NFL rosters, posting a 9-3 record while producing the SEC’s best rushing offense (200.7 yards per game). The Tiger defense ranked third nationally during the regular season in total defense (249.9 yards per game) and passing defense (145.4 yards per game), allowing only 15.9 points per contest. Over its final six games, the 2004 LSU defense allowed only 12 points in the second half on the way to a berth in the Capital One Bowl against Iowa – LSU’s fourth consecutive January bowl berth (a first for the Tiger program).

school as he also spent 1983-87 as the Spartans’ defensive coordinator/secondary coach. After playing in only 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, finishing in a tie for second place 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. Michigan State led the Big Ten in rushing defense (77.0 ypg) and total defense (299.0 ypg) while ranking fifth nationally in rushing defense and 11th in total defense. The MSU offense averaged 31.0 points per game. Saban was the first coach in school history to put the Spartans in postseason bowl games in each of his first three seasons – as he led Michigan State to the Independence Bowl in 1995, the Sun Bowl in 1996 and the Aloha Bowl in 1997. Before Michigan State, 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 ypg) and scoring defense (16th at 16.2 ppg) 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 then tied for second in the conference in 1989 with 22 picks. In his first stint at Michigan State, Saban served as secondary coach and defensive coordinator under George Perles from 1983-87. Saban played an integral part in helping the Spartans make three postseason bowl appearances, including a Big Ten championship in 1987 and a 20-17 victory over USCifornia in the 1988 Rose Bowl. Michigan State led the nation in rushing defense in 1987, (61.2 ypg) and ranked second in scoring defense (12.4 ppg).

A native of Monongah, 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 Oct. 31, 1951, Saban and his wife, the former Terry Constable, have two children, Nicholas and Kristen. They have been married for 46 years and are enjoying the company of their granddaughter, Amélie, a daughter-in-law Kelsé and son-in-law Adam Setas. Saban co-authored “Tiger Turnaround” in 2001, documenting his first two years at LSU. He then coauthored “How Good Do You Want to Be?” in 2005, a book that offers real-life principles for success at work and at home. In addition to their work as fundraisers for LSU’s Student-Athlete Academic Center, the Sabans supported several charitable and civic projects in Louisiana. The largest of those efforts was with the Children’s Miracle Network, for which Terry and Nick Saban raised more than $100,000 per year. At Michigan State, the Sabans started the Nick’s Kids Foundation, which they have continued in Tuscaloosa, a vibrant example of their continuing concern for disadvantaged children. Since Nick and Terry arrived in Tuscaloosa, over $7 million has been distributed to students, teachers and children’s causes at over 150 charities through the Nick’s Kids Foundation. The Sabans also have played a big role in tornado relief efforts in Tuscaloosa and the surrounding areas. Immediately following the devastating storm on April 27, 2011, Nick and Terry visited shelters where they paid for and served meals to those in need. Through Nick’s Kids, the Sabans joined with Habitat for Humanity in helping to rebuild 17 homes lost in the tornado, the most recent of which was dedicated in May of 2018 following Alabama’s 17th national championship. With support and donations from the Sabans, St. Francis Catholic Church in Tuscaloosa built the Saban Catholic Student Center, which opened in August of 2016. In receiving the 2008 Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award, Saban was awarded a $50,000 gift at the A-Day Game. He designated the gift for Nick’s Kids, as well as an additional $20,000 gift for The University of Alabama scholarship fund. In June of 2008, the Sabans announced a $1 million gift to benefit Alabama’s first-generation scholarship program. The gift has a special meaning to the Sabans, as both Nick and Terry were first-generation graduates.

JEFF BANKS Special Teams Coord./TEs

First Year

WASHINGTON STATE, 1999

COACHES/STAFF

Jeff Banks begins his first season on head coach Nick Saban’s staff as the special teams coordinator and tight ends coach after spending the previous five years in the same role at Texas A&M. Banks, a veteran special teams coordinator and former All-Pac 10 punter, will need to replace All-American punter JK Scott and placekicker Andy Pappanastos in 2018. Alabama returns two long snappers in Thomas Fletcher and Scott Meyer and returners Trevon Diggs, Henry Ruggs III, Xavian Marks and Josh Jocobs. The Crimson Tide signed one of the nation’s top high school punters in Skyler DeLong and have kicker Joseph Bulovas coming off of a redshirt season, while the Tide added graduate transfer kicker Austin Jones from Temple. Banks comes to Alabama after five years as the tight ends and special teams coordinator for Kevin Sumlin at Texas A&M. The Aggies boasted one of the nation’s top special teams units in 2017, ranking third nationally in net punting (42.29 ypp) and second nationally in punt returns with a 17.1 average and two touchdowns. Punter Shane Tripucka ranked sixth nationally in punting with an average of 45.5 yards per punt. Banks’ units were No. 1 nationally with eight blocked kicks a season ago. In 2016, the Aggies led the nation in punt returns average at 25.39 yards per return with four touchdowns. Returner Christian Kirk led the nation individually in punt return touchdowns with three while averaging 21.7 yards on 13 returns. Texas A&M also ranked seventh nationally in net punting in 2016 with a 41.58 yard average. The highlight of his first season with the Aggies in 2013 was the development of punter Drew Kaser and placekicker Josh Lambo. Kaser broke the A&M single-season record with a 47.4 punt average while being named a first-team All-American and being selected as a finalist for the Ray Guy Award. Kaser was a sixth-round NFL Draft pick of the Chargers in 2016. Lambo connected on 80 percent of his field goal kicks and was 50-of-51 on PATs. The Aggies also blocked an SEC-high three kicks, ranked third in

net punting (39.4) and second in kickoff return defense (18.3). Prior to arriving at Texas A&M in 2013, Banks had a brief stint as as the running backs coach and special teams coordinator at Virginia after having coached running backs and coordinated special teams for nine years at UTEP (2004-12). During his time in El Paso, Banks oversaw one of the top special teams units in Conference USA as the Miners led the league in special teams statistics in 2011 and 2012. In 2012, UTEP led the conference in net punting with a 40.1 average and punt return defense with a 3.1 yard average. The Miners allowed just 65 yards on 21 opponent punt returns. UTEP also ranked No. 3 in kickoff returns (23.8 avg.) and No. 4 in punt returns (10.1). That same season, UTEP blocked four kicks and returned a pair of kickoffs for touchdowns. The 2011 season saw UTEP led C-USA in punting (40.5 avg.), rank second in kickoff returns (26.3 avg.) and third in kickoff coverage (44.4 avg.). The Miners rated fourth nationally in kickoff returns and sixth in net punting, and the team blocked three punts and also executed successful fake kicks for first downs on the road on three occasions.

In 2009, a Banks pupil, Donald Buckram, broke UTEP’s season rushing record that had stood for over 60 years by rushing for 1,594 yards. Banks served as an assistant coach at Idaho State from 2000-03, where he was the special teams coordinator, recruiting coordinator and running backs coach. Idaho State led the nation in net punting twice in his three seasons. Banks got his coaching start as a graduate assistant under Mike Price at Washington State from 1998-2000, where he worked with the offense and the punters and kickers. As a player, Banks was a two-time allconference punter for Washington State, posting a 42.8 yard average as a junior and 43.4 yard average as a senior. In his final season, he led the Pac-10 and was No. 15 nationally while helping the Cougars go 10-2 and earn an invitation to the Rose Bowl. Banks was also selected to participate in the Senior Bowl. Banks has a daughter, Sydnei, and two sons, Gage and Tanner. Banks earned his bachelor’s degree in communications from Washington State in 1999.

DAN ENOS Assoc. Head Coach/QBs

First Year

Dan Enos was added to the Alabama staff in February of 2018 to coach and develop the Crimson Tide quarterbacks while also serving as the associate head coach. He boasts more than 20 years of experience coaching skill position players, over 10 years of play-calling experience and five years as the head coach at Central Michigan (2010-14). He has tutored and developed many NFL stars, including offensive tackle Eric Fisher at CMU, who became the first Mid-American Conference player to be selected No. 1 overall in the NFL Draft in 2013 by the Kansas City Chiefs. Enos, who served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Arkansas for the past three seasons, arrives in Tuscaloosa after a short stint at the University of Michigan where had been named an offensive assistant coach in January of 2018. During his three years at Arkansas, Enos oversaw a balanced pro-style offense that produced some of the most impressive seasons in Razorback history. Arkansas was one of two FBS programs with a 3,000-yard passer and 1,300-yard rusher in both 2015 and 2016, featuring a different quarterback and different running back carrying the load in each season. He also had a 3,000-yard passer and 1,000-yard rusher in his final season at Central Michigan in 2014. Enos tutored both Brandon Allen (2015) and Austin Allen (2016) to 3,000-yard passing seasons, as the brothers became just the third and fourth players in program history to reach that number through the air. Brandon threw for 3,440 yards and 30 touchdowns as a senior in 2015, while leading the nation in quarterback efficiency. Austin then led the SEC in 2016 with 3,430 yards and was second in the league in touchdowns with 25. Enos had five offensive players selected in the 2016 NFL Draft, tied for the second-most nationally. Despite seeing two 1,000-yard rushers move on to the NFL following the 2015 season, Enos also turned another first-time starter in running back Rawleigh Williams III into a First Team All-SEC selection. Williams led the SEC regular-season in rushing while his 1,360 yards on the year were bolstered by seven 100-yard performances. Prior to his time at Arkansas, Enos spent five seasons as the head coach at Central Michigan (2010-14), leading the Chippewas to two bowl games and bowl eligibility in three of his five seasons at the helm. He posted a 26-36 record at CMU and coached 23 All-Mid-American Conference players while his offenses passed

for more than 3,000 yards four times. Central Michigan’s win over Western Kentucky in the 2012 Little Caesars Pizza Bowl was just the third bowl win in program history. Ryan Radcliff was Enos’ first starting quarterback at Central Michigan and under his tutelage, Radcliff became one of the top quarterbacks in CMU history as he passed for 9,917 yards and 63 touchdowns during his career. Enos also helped develop wide receiver Titus Davis, who finished as the school’s career leader in receiving yards (3,705) and touchdowns (37) while also setting the single-season mark for touchdown receptions (13). Quarterback Cooper Rush started for Enos in his final two seasons at CMU on his way to a school-record 12,891 passing yards, 90 touchdowns and, eventually, the NFL. Rush accounted for 3,149 yards through the air as a sophomore in 2014 while completing 63.6 percent of his passes with 27 touchdowns. In each of his final two seasons at CMU, Enos helped the Chippewas rank in the top half of the MAC in passing efficiency, third down conversion percentage and time of possession. Before being hired at Central Michigan, Enos spent four seasons at Michigan State as an assistant coach. He coached quarterbacks in 2006 and running backs from 2007-09. He tutored three NFL running backs in East Lansing – Javon Ringer, Edwin Baker and Jehuu Caulcrick. He was named one of Rivals.com’s

Top 25 recruiters nationally in 2009. In 2006, he mentored Drew Stanton who threw for 2,252 yards and 17 touchdowns and would go on to be a second-round NFL Draft pick by the Detroit Lions in 2008. Enos spent two years as quarterbacks coach at Cincinnati (2004-05), helping quarterback Gino Guidugli finish his career as the school’s all-time leading passer with 11,453 career yards, including 2,633 passing yards and 26 passing touchdowns in 2004. He also worked at North Dakota State (OC/ QBs, 2003), Western Michigan (QB, 2000-02), Missouri State (OC/QBs, 1999), Southern Illinois (QB/WR, 1997-98), Northern Michigan (OC/Off. Backs, 1996) and Lakeland College (OC/QB/ WR, 1994-95). He served as a graduate assistant on Michigan State’s staff from 1991 to 1993. A standout quarterback at Michigan State from 1987-90, Enos started two seasons and earned a 16-7-1 record (.688) as a starter, leading the Spartans to two bowl victories. He still ranks among the best in school history with 3,837 passing yards and 297 completions. His .621 completion percentage ranks fourth-best in Spartan history. Enos graduated from Michigan State with a degree in business administration in 1991 and earned his master’s in sports administration in 2006. The Dearborn, Mich., native and his wife Jane, have two children, Lia and Alex.

PETE GOLDING Co-Def. Coord./ILBs

First Year

Pete Golding joined head coach Nick Saban’s staff in December of 2017 and begins his first season in 2018 as the Crimson Tide’s co-defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach. Golding came to Tuscaloosa after coaching defensive backs and handling the defensive coordinator duties at the University of Texas-San Antonio the past two seasons. He inherits a talented group of linebackers in 2018 led by junior Mack Wilson and sophomore Dylan Moses. Wilson started two games and finished with 40 tackles and a team-high four interceptions. Moses also made two starts and finished with 30 tackles, 5.5 for loss, and added 1.5 sacks. Joshua McMillon provides quality veteran depth while underclassmen Markail Benton and VanDarius Cowan will push for playing time. Golding’s 2017 defense ranked seventh in the Football Bowl Subdivision, allowing just 287.8 yards per game. The Roadrunners finished eighth in scoring defense (17.0 ppg), second in first downs defense (166) and 19th in pass efficiency defense (112.19). UTSA’s improvement during Golding’s tenure was evident, as the defense allowed 156 less yards per game and 16.8 less point per game in 2017 compared to 2015. In his first season with the Roadrunners in 2016, he helped lead the program to six wins and its first bowl game – the 2016 Gildan New Mexico Bowl. His defense set several school records, including single-season standards for tackles (934), tackles for loss (77), sacks (27) and quarterback hurries (38). Individually, linebacker Josiah Tauaefa broke UTSA’s season record for tackles with 115 on his way to becoming the program’s first Freshman All-American (Football Writers Association of America) and collecting Conference USA Freshman of the Year and first-team all-conference honors. Defensive end Marcus Davenport and safety Michael Egwuagu were named second-team all-conference and safety Jordan Moore was honorable mention. Golding joined the UTSA staff after spending two years as an assistant coach at Southern Miss

where he coached the safeties. The Golden Eagles posted a six-win improvement in his second season, finishing 9-5 overall with a trip to the Heart of Dallas Bowl while winning the Western Division of Conference USA. Prior to his time in Hattiesburg, Golding was the defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach at Southeastern Louisiana for two seasons (2012-13). He helped guide the Lions’ program to a school-record 11 wins and its first conference title (Southern) since 1961 with a 7-0 league record. Southeastern Louisiana advanced to the quarterfinals of the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs in its first appearance and Golding’s defense led the Southland in both total and scoring defense. Before heading to Hammond, he was the defensive coordinator at his alma mater Delta State from 2010-11, leading the Statesman to the 2010 NCAA Division II National Championship Game and the Gulf South Conference title. He also spent three years on staff at Tusculum coaching the defensive backs while coordinating the defense the final two years as the Pioneers developed into a record-setting defensive unit under his direction. In 2007,

Tusculum intercepted a program-record 14 passes and produced conference-leading marks in sacks and forced turnovers on their way to an appearance in the NCAA Division II playoffs. Golding has tutored six All-Americans during his 10-year coaching career, including 2012 FCS Defensive Player of the Year and 2013 second round National Football League draft pick Robert Alford, who was a cornerback under Golding during his senior season. He coached 18 Delta State players to All-Gulf South Conference and All-South Region teams during his tenure, while six Tusculum defenders received All-South Atlantic Conference accolades. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Delta State in 2006 after starting four seasons at safety for the Statesmen (200205). A native of Hammond, La., Golding and his wife Carolyn have three children, Braxton, Bentley and Bailey. Golding graduated from Delta State in 2005 with a degree in business.

BRENT KEY Offensive Line

Third Year

GEORGIA TECH, 2001

COACHES/STAFF

Brent Key begins his third season on Nick Saban’s coaching staff at Alabama after joining the Crimson Tide in February of 2016 to coach the offensive line. For the third straight year, the Alabama offensive line was named a finalist for the Joe Moore Award, which is given annually to the nation’s top offensive front. The Tide’s rushing attack finished the season ranked 13th nationally, averaging 250.6 ypg while the Tide offense ranked 15th in the nation in scoring offense (37.1 ppg) in 2017. Bradley Bozeman was a first team All-SEC selection, a second team All-American and a finalist for the Rimington Trophy, which goes to the nation’s top center. Jonah Williams also a garnered first team All-SEC honors and second team All-America accolodes at left tackle. Ross Pierschbacher started 12 more games in 2017 and enters the 2018 campaign as the most experienced returner with 42 starts. Key’s 2018 offensive line will feature four returning starters with Pierschbacher and Williams, Lester Cotton Sr. and Matt Womack. Those four players boast 104 career starts with a bevy of talented players battling for a role along the front. Jedrick Wills Jr. started one game and played in 11 contests as a freshman and Alex Leatherwood filled in for an injured Williams in the second half of the CFP National Championship Game and played in seven games in 2017. The offensive line unit was named a finalist for the Joe Moore Award in 2016, a group that was led by Outland Trophy winner Cam Robinson, who was a unanimous first team AllAmerica selection. The Alabama offensive line helped the Tide rank second in the SEC and 12th nationally in rushing offense, averaging 245.0 yards per game. The Tide offensive line helped provide time and open holes for the nation’s No. 16 scoring offense at 38.6 points per game and No. 4 total offense at 455.3 yards per game. Williams, a true freshman at right tackle, was a SEC All-Freshman and secondteam All-SEC pick. Pierschbacher started all 15 games at guard and earned second team AllSEC recognition. Prior to joining the Alabama staff, Key spent the 11 seasons prior as an assistant coach at Central Florida, including the 2015 campaign as the Knights’ offensive coordinator and running backs coach. He originally started as a graduate assistant at UCF in 2005. Key was Central Florida’s offensive line coach for six seasons (2009-14), holding the title of assistant head coach from 2012-14.

the tight ends from 2006-08 and added the role of special teams coordinator for the 2008 campaign. In 2012, 2013 and 2014, Key was selected as a national nominee for the Broyles Award, which is given out each year to the top assistant coach in college football. Key coached eight players to 16 all-conference selections during his time as the offensive line coach for the Knights. Jah Reid was a third-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft and three more linemen have signed NFL free-agent contracts since leaving Orlando. During Key’s time at UCF, the Knights participated in seven bowl games and won four conference titles (2007, 2010, 2013 and 2014). Central Florida went 12-1 in 2013 and won the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl to finish No. 10 in the final rankings. Along the way, UCF earned its first two wins over top-10 teams (No. 6/5 Baylor and No. 8/6 Louisville), and did not allow a sack against Penn State, Louisville, Connecticut and Baylor. The UCF offensive line in 2013 paved the way for an offensive unit that averaged 441.5 yards and 34.6 points per game – two of the highest marks in program history. It also helped provide plenty of protection for quarterback Blake Bortles, who would be named The American Conference’s Offensive Player of the Year. Key took over the offensive line for Central Florida at the start of the 2009 season and the progress the Knights’ line made was evident. UCF improved from 229.5 yards per game in

2008 to 340.8 in 2009, one of the five largest jumps in the nation that season. While coaching tight ends for the Knights from 2006-08, Key helped tight end Mike Merritt develop into an NFL prospect. Merritt had 14 catches for 161 yards as a senior in 2007 and was a seventh-round selection of the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2008 NFL Draft. A standout player at Georgia Tech under George O’Leary, Key was a four-year starter (1997-2000) for the Yellow Jackets at right guard. During his career, he helped Georgia Tech rank in the top three in the Atlantic Coast Conference in rushing all four years. Key started 44 games for the Yellow Jackets and was part of a senior class that earned four straight bowl berths, a first for the program since the 1950s. During Key’s sophomore year in 1998, Georgia Tech went 10-2, earned a share of the ACC title and played in the Gator Bowl. He was selected All-ACC as a senior in 2000. He began his coaching career at Georgia Tech in 2001 as the offensive graduate assistant coach under O’Leary. Prior to joining the staff at UCF, he worked at Western Carolina in 2004, coaching the tight ends and running backs. A native of Trussville, Ala., Key earned allstate honors at Hewitt-Trussville High School. He graduated from Georgia Tech in 2001 with a degree in management. Key is married to the former Danielle Cumm and the couple is expecting their first child.

CRAIG KULIGOWSKI Assoc. Head Coach/DL

First Year

Craig Kuligowski joined Alabama head coach Nick Saban’s staff in February of 2018 as the Crimson Tide’s associate head coach and defensive line coach. Kuligowski comes to Alabama after two seasons at the University of Miami, where he coached the defensive line and served as the assistant head coach. He revitalized the Hurricanes’ defensive front and helped Miami return to national prominence in 2017 with a trip to the ACC Championship Game and the Capital One Orange Bowl. The Hurricanes ranked among the nation’s leaders in several defensive categories in 2017, including tops in the nation in team sacks (3.38), third nationally in tackles for loss (8.5) and turnovers gained (31), eighth nationally in fumbles recovered (14) and ninth in the nation in opponent yards per play (4.77). Three of his defensive linemen earned AllACC recognition in 2017 with RJ McIntosh named to the second team, Trent Harris the third team and Kendrick Norton garnering honorable mention honors. In his first year with the program in 2016, Miami’s defensive line enjoyed vast improvements under his guidance and served as one of the top units both in the ACC and nationally. After the season, Kuligowski was promoted to assistant head coach after spending the 2016 season as defensive line coach. In 2016, Miami ranked No. 20 nationally in total defense (up from No. 69 the previous season), No. 9 in yards per play (No. 86 in 2015), No. 12 in scoring defense (No. 77 in 2015), No. 5 in tackles for loss (No. 105 in 2015), No. 22 in team sacks (No. 70 in 2015) and tied for eighth in defensive touchdowns allowed (No. 61 in 2015). Prior to his time in Miami, Kuligowski spent 15 years at the University of Missouri coaching the defensive line for head coach Gary Pinkel where he was the second-longest tenured assistant coach in the league. During his time in Columbia, Coach “Kool” produced 24 allconference players along the defensive front, four first round NFL Draft picks from 2009 to his departure and 12 NFL Draft picks since 2002. Kuligowski’s final year in Columbia saw the Tigers’ defensive line rank second in the nation in team tackles for loss. The Tigers also ranked ninth in the nation in total defense. The 2014 Mizzou defense led the SEC in sacks (a schoolrecord 44), and was the stingiest defense in the league, allowing a conference-low 300.8 yards per game in conference matchups. Star pupil

Shane Ray was named the SEC Defensive Player of the Year and was selected in the first round of the NFL Draft the following April by the Denver Broncos. The 2013 season saw the emergence of Michael Sam, who became one of the more compelling stories of the year, as he rose from little preseason publicity to become one of the top rush ends in the nation. He led the SEC in both sacks (11.5) and tackles for loss (19.0), was named SEC Defensive Player of the Year and became MU’s first defensive First Team AllAmerican since 2001. Sam was a finalist for the Nagurski, Lombardi and Hendricks awards that season. Kony Ealy also turned in an outstanding season that year, claiming first team All-SEC accolades by the Associated Press. Kuligowski’s 2013 defensive line was one of the most disruptive in the nation, producing 39 of Mizzou’s 41 season sacks (which led the SEC and ranked 12th nationally), while notching 73.5 of the team’s 107 tackles for loss. Sheldon Richardson developed into one of the top defensive tackles in the nation in 2012, and claimed first team All-SEC honors for his play, which included leading all SEC linemen in tackles (75). Redshirt freshman end Aldon Smith developed into one of the top freshmen in the nation under Kuligowski’s tutelage in 2009. He was named the Big 12 Conference Defensive

Freshman/Newcomer of the Year, garnered Third Team All-American honors and was a First Team Freshman All-American. Smith broke the MU single-season sacks record in 2009 with 11.5 while accounting for 19 tackles for loss, both of which led the nation among freshmen. Kuligowski began his coaching at his alma mater Toledo as the recruiting coordinator in 1992 before adding to his role as the tight ends coach in 1993-95 and serving as the assistant offensive line coach for the Rockets in 1995 as well. Kuligowski moved to the defensive line in 1996 and was credited with building one of the top defensive lines in the MAC from 1996-2000. In 2000, the Rockets were ranked fifth in the nation in rush defense, allowing just 81.5 yards per game and 2.46 yards per carry. They were ranked third in the country in scoring defense, third in total defense and topped the national rankings in turnover margin. A four-year standout at Toledo (1987-90) as an offensive tackle, Kuligowski was named First Team All-MAC in his final two seasons with the Rockets. The 1990 season, his senior campaign, saw first-year head coach Nick Saban take over the Toledo program and lead the Rockets to the MAC title. Kuligowski earned a bachelor of business administration degree from Toledo in 1991. He and his wife Mary have two daughters, Peyton and Madeline, and a son, Max.

TOSH LUPOI Defensive Coord./OLBs

Fourth Year

Tosh Lupoi is in fourth season at the Capstone after joining head coach Nick Saban’s staff in 2015 as the outside linebackers coach. He added the title of co-defensive coordinator prior to the 2016 season and was promoted to defensive coordinator in February of 2018. He served as an analyst for the Crimson Tide during the 2014 season after spending the previous six years at California and Washington. Lupoi had to replace a bevy of outside linebackers in 2017 and then had to overcome a rash of injuries. Anfernee Jennings and Jamey Mosley stepped to the forefront as starters on the outside while linebackers Rashaan Evans, Dylan Moses and Mack Wilson spent some time on the outside in passing situations. Jennings led the outside linebackers with 41 tackles and six tackles for loss. Terrell Lewis and Christian Miller made it back for the final three games of the season after suffering injuries in the opener against Florida State, providing a boost late in the season. Lewis added a key overtime sack in the come-from-behind win over Georgia in the CFP National Championship Game. The 2017 defensive unit once again led the nation in scoring defense (11.9 ppg) and rushing defense (94.7 ypg). The Tide also ranked second nationally in total defense (260.4 ypg) and pass efficiency defense. Alabama allowed 10 points or fewer in nine of its 14 games with two shutouts and forced 24 turnovers. In 2016, Lupoi helped coordinate a defense that led the nation in scoring (13.0 ppg) and rushing defense (63.9 ypg), while ranking second in total defense (261.8 ypg) and ninth in pass efficiency defense (106.47). The group also added a nation’s best 11 defensive touchdowns. Lupoi’s unit returned several experienced veterans at outside linebacker in that 2016 campaign, including seniors Tim Williams and Ryan Anderson, and they turned in fantastic final seasons, combining for 35.0 tackles for loss, 18 sacks and 22 quarterback hurries. Anderson earned first team All-SEC honors from the Associated Press and Williams was a second team All-American by the same outlet. Anderson finished with 61 total tackles, an interception return for a touchdown in the Peach Bowl and 10 hurries to go along with nine sacks and a team-best 19 tackles for loss, which tied for the fifth most in school history. Williams had 16 tackles for loss while finishing with nine sacks. In Lupoi’s first year with the outside linebackers in 2015, the Crimson Tide recorded the most sacks during the Saban era with 53, which ranked third nationally and was the

second most in school history. The outside linebackers notched 22.5 by themselves, led by Williams’ 10.5. Denzel Devall and Dillon Lee started at the jack and sam linebacker spots with Williams, Anderson and Evans coming off the bench to provide a spark. Lupoi had previous experience in the 3-4 defense as an assistant coach at California and Washington, where he was responsible for coaching the defensive line as well as one of the outside linebacker positions. He was a defensive analyst during the 2014 season for the Crimson Tide. Prior to that role, he served as the defensive line coach and defensive run game coordinator at Washington in 2012 and 2013. The Huskies ranked fourth in the country in sacks per game (3.15) in 2013 while ranking among the top four in the Pac-12 both years in scoring defense. Two of the players he coached at UW during that time earned All-America honors that season in outside linebacker Hau’oli Kikaha and defensive lineman Danny Shelton. Kikaha led the country with 19 sacks in 2013 while Shelton was tops among all interior defensive lineman with nine sacks on the season. Shelton would go on to be the 12th overall selection in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns. Lupoi was the defensive line coach at California for four years, becoming the youngest full-time coach in Cal history when he joined the

staff at the age of 26 in 2008. The Golden Bears led the Pac-12 in total defense in 2011, allowing just 332.9 yards per game. They were third in sacks that year with 34 and gave up the fewest first downs per game (17.4) and fewest passing yards per game (204.2). California also led the conference in defense and ranked among the top 25 nationally in per-game averages for sacks, total defense and pass defense. The Rivals Recruiter of the Year in 2010, Lupoi helped sign California classes that ranked No. 11 nationally in 2011 and No. 14 in 2010. He developed multiple NFL draft picks during his tenure at Cal, including future first-round selections Cameron Jordan and Tyson Alualu. As a player, Lupoi was a defensive lineman for Cal from 2000-05. He led the Bears’ defensive line in tackles in 2003 and earned Pac-10 AllAcademic recognition in 2005. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in American studies in 2005 and completed coursework toward a master’s in education. Lupoi played high school football at De La Salle High School in Concord, Calif., one of the most successful programs in the history of prep football, where he earned all-state honors and won a national title. His father, John Lupoi, played collegiate football at Brigham Young and was later a part-time assistant coach at California. He is married to the former Jordan Pelluer and the couple is expecting their first child.

KARL SCOTT Defensive Backs

First Year

Karl Scott begins his first year on head coach Nick Saban’s coaching staff in 2018 after joining the program in January to serve as the secondary coach. Scott will be charged with replacing five starters in the defensive secondary from the Tide’s 2017 national championship team. Off to the NFL are Minkah Fitzpatrick, Ronnie Harrison, Anthony Averett, Levi Wallace and Tony Brown. Scott will have the services of redshirt junior safety Deionte Thompson, who started both games of the 2018 College Football Playoff, along with the likes of Trevon Diggs, Shyheim Carter, Xavier McKinney, Daniel Wright and Jared Mayden. The Crimson Tide also signed an impressive group of incoming players in the secondary, including junior college transfer Saivion Smith along with high school standouts Patrick Surtain III, Josh Jobe, Jalyn ArmourDavis and Eddie Smith. Scott spent the last two seasons as the secondary coach at Texas Tech before being named the defensive coordinator at LouisianaLafayette in late December. His secondary at Texas Tech this past season posted an impressive turnaround, helping produce 29 turnovers, including 14 interceptions. He mentored two All-Big 12 selections in Jah’Shawn Johnson and Justus Parker. Prior to his time at Texas Tech, Scott spent one season as the safeties coach at Louisiana Tech under head coach Skip Holtz. He helped the Bulldogs to a 9-4 record in 2015 and a second-place finish in the Western Division of Conference USA. Louisiana Tech defeated Arkansas State in the New Orleans Bowl as the Bulldogs finished eighth nationally in defensive touchdowns after forcing 22 turnovers, including 13 interceptions. Scott worked at Southeastern Louisiana for three years, serving as the defensive coordinator in 2014 and linebackers coach in 2012-13. During his tenure with the Lions, he helped lead the program to back-to-back Southland Conference championships (2013-14) and two NCAA Football Championship Subdivision playoff appearances. His 2014 defense at Southeastern led the Southland Conference in total defense while ranking seventh in the FCS. The Lions also led

the nation in pass efficiency defense (94.3), and ranked fifth in red zone defense, eighth in scoring defense (17.7 ppg) and 11th in turnovers gained (28). Isiah Corbett and Harlan Miller were two mainstays on Scott’s defense at Southeastern Louisiana, both earning All-America honors in 2014, while seven other defenders – Denzel Thompson, Jacob Newman, Tyler Stoddard, A.J. Bowen, Drew Misita, Jordan Batiste and Micah Eugene – joined the pair on the All-Southland Conference teams. Scott’s linebacker unit was a key factor in Southeastern’s 2013 Southland Conference championship campaign. His corps benefited from the emergence of Cqulin Hubert, who was named Southland Defensive Player of the Year after recording a team-leading 90 tackles, including 11.0 that went for a loss. Before his time at Southeastern Louisiana, Scott served as recruiting coordinator, defensive backs coach and linebackers coach for four years at Tusculum College from 2008-11.

SCOTT COCHRAN Strength & Conditioning

12th Year

LSU, 2001

COACHES/STAFF

The booming voice you hear leading a prepractice stretch or encouraging a Crimson Tide player to finish a workout session strong is that of Assistant Athletic Director and Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Scott Cochran. The high-energy coach, who is a two-time national strength coach of the year, 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 all six national titles, as he served as an assistant at LSU in 2003. Cochran, in his 12th year at Alabama, 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 2011 Samson Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Year, as featured in American Football Quarterly. He earlier was named the Samson Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Year following the 2008 season. Prior to the start of spring drills, Cochran implements Coach Saban’s offseason workout plan, which includes the well-known “Fourth Quarter Program” – a very important step in helping Alabama players develop physically and prepare for the upcoming practices. It is no coincidence that with 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 scoring margin of 121-32. The Tide continued the trend of finishing in 2011, as it again dominated the fourth quarter en route to the program’s second national championship in three years with a 111-18 fourth-quarter scoring margin. A third title in four years proved strong in the fourth quarter as well posting a 11847 advantage. The 2015 team won the fourth quarter 138-80 while the 2017 title team boasted 97-47 advantage.

Burton Burns begins his 12th season with the Alabama Crimson Tide football program in 2018 and his first the assistant athletics director for football. He previously served as the associate head coach and running backs coach for 11 seasons (2007-17). Over 20 seasons as a college assistant, Burns produced versatile running backs who have been effective in every phase of the game. His players proved to be equally effective on the ground and in the passing game. Few in college football can say they have coached a Heisman Trophy finalist, but Burns can claim a trio dating back to the 2009 season, including the 2009 recipient Mark Ingram, 2011 finalist Trent Richardson and 2015 winner Derrick Henry. The New Orleans native was regarded as one of the best assistant coaches in college football and was named the Football Scoop Running Backs Coach of the Year following the 2008 season. Burns was also named one of the nation’s top recruiters in all of college sports in 2011 by ESPN The Magazine. In 2017, Burns’ backfield boasted Damien Harris, Bo Scarbrough, Josh Jacobs, Najee Harris and Brian Robinson Jr. The group combined to gained 2,415 yards and 25 touchdowns, led by Damien Harris, who posted his second straight 1,000-yard season with 1,000 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns. Burns developed a trio of talented backs in 2016 with Harris leading the team with 1,037 yards while averaging 7.1 yards per carry. Scarbrough came on strong at the end of the season to finish with 812 yards and 11 touchdowns on 125 carries. Jacobs had 567 yards and four scores. In 2015, Henry stepped into the starting role and flourished with a school- and SEC-record 2,219 yards on 395 carries and 28 rushing touchdowns. His 2,219 yards were the fifth-most in a single season in college football history. He also became just the third back in league history to record four 200-yard rushing games, while setting the Alabama record for 100-yard rushing games with 10. Henry also became the second Tide player to win the Doak Walker and Maxwell Awards and the first Tide player to capture the Walter Camp Player of the Year. He turned in another masterful coaching job in 2013 with Yeldon cracking the 1,000-yard barrier as the back accumulated 1,235 yards and 14 touchdowns while backup sophomore Kenyan Drake accounted for 694 yards and eight scores. Eddie Lacy, a second-round draft pick by Green Bay in 2013, earned NFL Rookie of the Year honors. As injuries hammered away at the Tide’s depth at running back in 2012, Lacy and Yeldon stepped to the forefront and combined to rush for 2,430 yards and 29 rushing touchdowns (32 total touchdowns). The pair became the first Alabama running backs to

rush for more than 1,000 yards in the same season. UA ranked 16th nationally in rushing and second in the SEC with an average of 227.5 yards per game. Under Burns, the 2011 Crimson Tide rushing offense ranked 16th in the nation and first in the Southeastern Conference, collecting 214.5 yards per game. In addition to being a Heisman Trophy finalist, Richardson became the first Alabama player to win the Doak Walker Award as the nation’s top running back. He was named the SEC Offensive Player of the Year, ranking fifth in the nation and first in the league with 129.2 yards on the ground per game. Richardson equaled the school and SEC record with 24 total touchdowns. Under Burns’ guidance in 2009, Ingram was awarded Alabama’s first Heisman Trophy and earned unanimous All-America 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 scores. 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. Ingram rushed for 728 yards and earned Freshman All-SEC honors. An assistant coach at Clemson 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.

Already, several of the plan’s initiatives are underway, with multiple research institutes formed on campus, creating an interdisciplinary approach to address national and worldwide challenges in the areas of water, transportation and lifespan research. Prior to returning to UA as president, Dr. Bell was executive vice president and provost at Louisiana State University. Before his time at LSU, he served the University of Kansas as dean of the School of Engineering. Under his leadership, both institutions opened new facilities and saw great success in student recruitment and retention. An Abilene, Texas, native, Dr. Bell earned a nuclear engineering degree from Texas A&M University in 1979. He earned his master’s degree and doctorate in mechanical engineering from the same university in 1981 and 1986, respectively. It was also at Texas A&M that he met and fell in love with his wife, Susan. They have three adult children, Stuart, Stacy and Stephen. They are also the proud grandparents to one granddaughter and are expecting another granddaughter this fall.

Greg Byrne D I R EC T O R O F ATHL E TICS Greg Byrne recently completed his first year as Alabama’s Director of Athletics after beginning his tenure with the department on March 1, 2017. His role at Alabama is his third venture at the helm of a major collegiate athletics program. Prior to coming to Alabama, Byrne was Vice President for Athletics at the University of Arizona from 2010-17 and was Director of Athletics at Mississippi State University from 2008-10. With more than 20 years of experience as an athletics administrator, Byrne has fashioned an impressive administrative career hallmarked by consistent success in fundraising, innovative strategies and competitive success with a strong emphasis on academic excellence. Throughout his career, Byrne has been consistently more impactful and successful with each step up the administrative ladder. As a fundraiser, he has been directly involved in raising more than $200 million in gifts during his career. As a leader of competitive athletics programs, he has fostered major improvements across the spectrum of sports at both programs he has led. A proponent of developing student-athletes into productive people after college, Byrne has led programs that have attained academic success at levels not reached prior to his tenure. He also has deep experience working in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), having spent 2002 to 2005 at the University of Kentucky as Associate Athletics Director for Development and Fundraising before a four-year stint at Mississippi State (2006-10). From 2006-08, Byrne

served as Associate Athletics Director for External Affairs at MSU before becoming Director of Athletics. Under Byrne’s leadership, Arizona Athletics underwent more than $140 million in construction and renovation of athletics facilities. That work was highlighted by the $72 million Lowell-Stevens Football Facility, the addition of two video boards in Arizona Stadium (football), and a new scoreboard in the McKale Center (basketball). Additionally, Byrne oversaw a $30 million renovation of the McKale Center, a project that included upgraded locker rooms, seating, restrooms, concessions, enhanced lighting and a new playing floor. At Mississippi State, where he was the youngest athletics director in the SEC and the youngest to lead an athletic program at the NCAA Division I-A level, Byrne oversaw the hiring of head football coach Dan Mullen and former head baseball coach and current Director of Athletics John Cohen. As the son of veteran athletics administrator Bill Byrne, one of the nation’s most prominent college sports administrators with 30 years of experience as an Athletics Director, Greg Byrne has been around the enterprise of running successful athletic programs for most of his life. A native of Pocatello, Idaho, Byrne earned his bachelor’s degree from Arizona State University in 1994 and his master’s degree from Mississippi State University in 2009. Byrne is married to the former Regina Misa of Junction City, Ore., and the couple has two sons, Nick and Davis.

THE RISE OF THE TIDE A BRIEF LOOK AT THE ORIGINS OF COLLEGE FOOTBALLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S GREATEST TRADITION 104 2018 ALABAMA FOOTBALL

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

the origins of the name crimson tide

Former University of Alabama President Alabama football boasts a rich tradition that dates back for more than a century. The winningest program in Southeastern Conference (SEC) annals, Alabama has won 26 SEC championships and 17 national championships in its storied history. It all began with University of Alabama law student William G. Little, who learned how to play American football while attending prep school in Andover, Mass. Little began teaching the sport to fellow Alabama students in early 1892. Later in the year, the school formed an official team of 19 players, with Little as captain and E.B. Beaumont as the team’s head coach. Those on the team included William B. Bankhead, future U.S. Speaker of the House, and Bibb Graves, future governor of Alabama. The team was referred to as the “Cadets,” the “Crimson White,” or simply as “The Varsity”. Following the 1907 season, the team adopted the “Crimson Tide” nickname. Shortly after the end of the 1922 season, in which he led Alabama in the victory over Penn, head coach Xen C. Scott passed away and Brown University alum Wallace Wade was hired as Alabama’s new head coach. Intent on building a dynasty after Wade had led the team to its first national championship with a win over Washington in the 1926 Rose Bowl, University President Dr. George Denny took advantage of the team’s newfound popularity and began advertising The University of Alabama in metropolitan New York City newspapers. Students, football players and fans alike from the Northeast began enrolling at Alabama at such a rate that by 1930, over one-third of the student body was comprised of students from outside of Alabama. Wade led the Crimson Tide to two more national titles before taking the head coaching job at Duke in 1931. Frank Thomas, a former quarterback for a Notre Dame squad led by Knute Rockne, was hired to replace Wade. Thomas led the team to consistent success and two more national championships during a 14-year tenure with the team. Among the players that Thomas coached were Harry Gilmer, Don Hutson and Paul “Bear” Bryant. Bryant returned to his alma mater as head coach in December 1957, leaving Texas A&M. In his fourth season at the Capstone (1961), Bryant led the Crimson Tide to its sixth national championship, which included Bryant’s first bowl

victory with Alabama. From 1961-66, Alabama went 60-5-1 (.917), won four Southeastern Conference Championships, enjoyed two undefeated seasons and won three national championships. During the 1970s, the Crimson Tide was one of the most dominant teams in college football history, winning eight conference titles and three national championships. Alabama posted a 103-16-1 (.863) record during the decade. During his tenure, Bryant led Alabama to a 232-46-9 record. His achievements included six national championships, 13 Southeastern Conference titles and 11 bowl victories. In 25 seasons as head coach, he led the Crimson Tide to 24 consecutive bowl appearances. At the time of his retirement, he was the winningest coach in college football history. Gene Stallings, a former member of Bryant’s famed “Junction Boys” at Texas A&M, had a successful seven-year run with the Tide from 1990-96, leading Alabama to the school’s 12th national title in 1992. Alabama’s current head coach Nick Saban has left his stamp on the football program at the Capstone in his 12th season. In 2017, Alabama finished 13-1 and won its second College Football Playoff Championship Game and 17th national title. The Crimson Tide finished 14-1 in 2016 and advanced to the CFP Championship Game. In 2015, the Crimson Tide went 14-1 en route to capturing Alabama’s 16th national title in the College Football Playoff National Championship. The 2014 squad went 12-2 and earned a spot in the first College Football Playoff. The 2013 team posted an 11-2 mark and appeared in the Allstate Sugar Bowl. In 2012, the Crimson Tide captured its third national championship under Saban, its second straight and 15th overall, with a 42-14 win over Notre Dame in the 2013 BCS National Championship Game. Alabama won its 14th title during the 2011 season with a commanding 21-0 shutout of LSU in the BCS National Championship Game. The Tide went undefeated and claimed its 13th national championship in 2009 with wins over Florida in the SEC Championship Game and Texas in the BCS National Championship Game. The 2010 Crimson Tide posted a 10-3 record and won the Capital One Bowl. In 2008, the Crimson Tide went 12-2. Alabama has posted an 125-14 mark over the past 10 seasons.

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

THE BEAR “I ain’t never been nothin’ but a winner.” PAUL W. “BEAR” BRYANT Alabama Head Coach, 1958-82

Legend Has It A young Bryant goes to the Fordyce Theatre in Arkansas where anyone who will wrestle a bear can win a dollar. Bryant wrestles the bear but the owner and the bear escape without paying. Bryant didn’t get the buck that day, but he earned a nickname, Bear.

Paul William Bryant retired from coaching as the game’s all-time winningest coach with a 323-85-17 (.780) overall record. He spent 25 of his 37 years on the sidelines at The University of Alabama, where he returned the Crimson Tide football program to national prominence. During his time in Tuscaloosa, Bryant compiled a 232-46-9 (.824) record and directed Alabama to six national championships. He also led the Crimson Tide to 13 SEC titles, was the national coach of the year three times and the SEC coach of the year on eight occasions. In 1958, Bryant returned to his alma mater and the rebuilding process was underway. In his second year back at the Capstone, he beat Auburn and took the Tide to its first of 25 straight bowl appearances. In 1961, Bryant’s first recruiting class, highlighted by quarterback Pat Trammell, linebacker Lee Roy Jordan and lineman Billy Neighbors, helped the Tide capture the first of Bryant’s six national titles. Two more titles followed in 1964 and 1965 and despite an 11-0 record the Tide missed out on a third in 1966. Bryant installed the “wishbone” offense in 1971 to revamp the Tide program. Over the next 10 years, Alabama dominated the college football scene, winning 108 games, three more national titles and placing Bryant atop college football’s all-time leaderboard for career wins. In 1934, the first year of the Southeastern Conference, Bryant helped the Crimson Tide win the initial SEC championship and a national championship as a player. Bryant became known in football folklore as the ‘other end’ to Don Hutson as Alabama went 10-0 and knocked off Stanford 29-13 in the Rose Bowl to claim the school’s fourth national crown. Bryant’s head coaching career began in 1945 at Maryland. The following year he made the move to Kentucky for eight years and followed that with a four-year stint at Texas A&M. Bryant guided teams to 15 conference titles, including 13 at Alabama, across his illustrious coaching career.

With renovation projects of $47 and $65 million to renovate and expand the north and south end zones, Bryant-Denny Stadium truly is one of the top football facilities in the nation. The current seating capacity of 101,821 makes Bryant-Denny Stadium one of the nation’s largest on-campus football stadiums. The most recent renovation not only pushed capacity to 101,821, but it gave BryantDenny Stadium an additional 36 skyboxes and 1,700 club seats. The 2010 renovation marked the fourth expansion since 1988 of this magnificent edifice and was the seventh time Bryant-Denny Stadium has been expanded since it was originally constructed in 1929. Other expansions were completed in 1946, 1961, 1966, 1988, 1998 and 2006. The 2006 expansion project, which began immediately following the 2004 football season, also added three levels of premium seating, a pair of large video scoreboards in the north end zone, and state-of-the-art, wrap-around display boards situated on the facades of the east and west upper decks. A unique aspect of the “new” stadium is a plaza connecting the stadium with University Boulevard. The plaza, which quickly became a focal point on game day Saturdays, honors Alabama’s national championship coaches and commemorates the Tide’s 16 national and 25 SEC titles. The 2006 expansion added 38 luxury skyboxes, bringing the total number of skyboxes in the stadium to 123. The most recent expansion (2010) increased that number to 159 skyboxes. Other additions included a club level area and traditional upper-deck seating. Office space was included, as well as a home team locker room located in the north end zone. A state-of-the-art sound system was installed before the start of the 2015 season. Since those early games, a number of projects have expanded Bryant-Denny Stadium to its current capacity. When Alabama and Hawai’i met to open the 2006 season, a sellout crowd marked the largest crowd to view a college football game in the state of Alabama. That record fell when 101,821 fans filled the seats for the Crimson Tide’s 2010 season opener against San Jose State. The 1998 east side expansion added 10,000 bleacher seats and two spiral walkways to give the stadium a more symmetrical appearance. A total of 81 skyboxes, on two levels, also were added. The skyboxes were built in two sizes, 24-seat capacity (18) and 16-seat capacity (64). In 1999, four additional skyboxes were added and a scoreboard with video replay capabilities was installed in the south end. Other additions to Bryant-Denny Stadium include two east side reception areas for Scholarship and A-Club level patrons. These areas are located above the center entrance on the east side and include rooms large enough to host receptions and pre-game meal functions. A bank of lights was also added on the east side. The 2016 season was only the 16th time in the stadium’s history that Alabama has played all of its home games at Bryant-Denny. From 1900 until 2003, Alabama played at least one home game at Birmingham’s Legion Field. The Crimson Tide owns an impressive 261-53-3 (.828) all-time record at BryantDenny Stadium and a 346-66-3 (.837) mark in all games played in Tuscaloosa. Dating back to the 1988 renovation of Bryant-Denny Stadium, more than 17.1 million fans have witnessed the Crimson Tide play in 206 home games over the past 30 seasons.

Alabama owns 26 SEC titles Alabama has a winning record against every school in the Southeastern Conference The Southeastern Conference begins its 87th season of play in 2018. The league began play in 1933 with 13 schools - Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Sewanee, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt. Alabama won the league’s first conference title in 1933 by virtue of its 5-0-1 conference record, and has won a total of 26 SEC titles in the school’s illustrious history. Sewanee left the conference following the 1940 season, while Georgia Tech left after the 1963 season and Tulane followed after the 1965 campaign. Arkansas and South Carolina entered the SEC prior to the 1992 season, and Texas A&M and Missouri began play in 2012.

SEC TITLES BY SCHOOL Alabama (26) Alabama has been a force in the SEC over the past 10 seasons Alabama dominated the 2008 and 2009 seasons in Southeastern Conference play with a 16-0 combined mark in the regular season, capturing back-to-back SEC Western Division championships and the 2009 SEC championship. The 2011 season saw the Crimson Tide win the program’s 14th national championship but finish second in the SEC West to LSU, who the Tide would later defeat 21-0 in the Allstate BCS National Championship Game. Alabama won its 23rd SEC championship in 2012, followed by its 15th national championship. In 2013, the Crimson Tide tied for the SEC Western Division crown with a 7-1 record. Alabama secured the program’s 24th, 25th and 26th SEC titles in 2014, 2015 and 2016 becoming the first team to earn three consecutive SEC Championship Game victories since Florida won four in a row from 1993-96. In 2014, the Tide captured the trophy with a 42-13 win over Missouri, while the 2015 victory came against Florida, 29-15. Alabama defeated the Gators for the second consecutive year in 2016 by a score of 54-16. In 2017, the Crimson Tide finished 7-1 in league play to run its conference record to 71-9 (.888) over the last 10 seasons. The SEC was the first conference to split into two divisions and have its regular season culminate in a conference championship game. The first SEC Championship Game was held on Dec. 5, 1992, at Legion Field in Birmingham, Ala. The SEC Championship Game moved to the Georgia Dome in 1994 and was staged there through 2016. The game moved next door to Mercedes-Benz Stadum in 2017.

The National

Spotlight Alabama has proven to be one of the top television draws in college football due to its history, tradition, personalities and fans. The Crimson Tide was televised nationally 14 times in 2017 and has played in 128 nationally televised games since 2008. Further evidence was the presence of ESPN GameDay at four of Alabama’s 2008 games, three in 2009, two more in 2010, three in 2011, four in 2012, four in 2013, twice in 2014, four times in 2015, three times in 2016 and three times in 2017. Alabama’s popularity also has been a draw for national publications. The Crimson Tide has been represented on the covers of many of those publications in recent years. The Tide appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated 24 times since 2009, including four times in 2017, two times in 2016, three times in 2015, twice in 2013 and 2014, four times in 2012, three times in 2011, once in 2010 and three times in 2009. In 2008, head coach Nick Saban was featured on the cover of Forbes. Saban became the first college football coach to be featured on the cover of Forbes since the publication began in 1917.

From the roaring 1920s and Wallace Wade, through legendary coach Frank Thomas, on to the dynasty that was the Paul “Bear” Bryant era, through Gene Stallings’ 1992 national championship team and, finally, Nick Saban’s five titles in Tuscaloosa, the Alabama Crimson Tide has helped define college football for nearly a century. Alabama has captured a college football-best 17 national championships and an impressive 30 conference titles, including a conference-best 26 SEC titles. Bryant led the Tide to six national championships during his 25 years roaming the sidelines with national titles in 1961, 1964, 1965, 1973, 1978 and 1979. Wade won Alabama’s first three titles in 1925, 1926 and 1930. Thomas then led Alabama to championships in 1934 and 1941 while Stallings’ 1992 team has proven to be one of the best in college football history. Saban’s 2009 team carved an identity of its own with suffocating defense and an efficient and explosive offense. That 14-0 team produced the school and conference record for wins in a season, defeated No. 1 Florida in the SEC Championship Game and bested No. 2 Texas in the BCS National Championship Game to claim the title. The 2011 team avenged a regular-season loss to LSU in the BCS National Championship with a resounding 21-0 shutout of the Tigers in New Orleans. The defense was historic in 2011, leading all four major categories nationally, while the offense averaged almost 35 points per game. In 2012, Alabama beat LSU with a last-second comeback in Death Valley, escaped the SEC Championship Game with a thrilling 32-28 win over Georgia, and finished the year off by crushing then-No. 1 Notre Dame 42-14 in the BCS National Championship Game. In 2015, the second year of the College Football Playoff, the Tide shut out Michigan State, 38-0, in the CFP Semifinal at the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic and followed that up with a 45-40 win over Clemson to claim Alabama’s first CFP National Championship. Saban’s fifth title in Tuscaloosa in 2017 was punctuated with a dramatic come-from-behind 26-23 victory over Georgia in the CFP National Championship Game. Alabama trailed the Bulldogs 13-0 at halftime and made the move to Tua Tagovailoa at quarterback who helped engineer a comeback for the ages. Tagovailoa threw three touchdown passes after halftime, including a 41-yard strike on secondand-26 in overtime to DeVonta Smith to seal the victory. Alabama exacted sweet revenge over Clemson just seven days prior in the semifinal game at the Sugar Bowl with a 24-6 win.

THE FIRST TITLE

1925

Alabama’s football history has been about champions and the 1925 team garnered the first national title by posting a perfect 10-0 record and beating powerful Washington 20-19 in the Rose Bowl. It marked the first time a southern team had been to Pasadena, and the locals appeared shocked with the Tide victory. Senior stars Johnny Mack Brown and AllAmerican Pooley Hubert mesmerized the crowds of the 1920s with their unique skills. Known as the “Dothan Antelope,” Brown was the scourge of Bama foes. Brown scored on a 58-yard reception from Grant Gillis and a 62-yard catch from Hubert in the Rose Bowl win. In the win over Washington, Hubert also rushed for a touchdown and starred defensively. Both Brown and Hubert would become College Football Hall of Famers. Brown and guard Bill Buckler also were All-Southern Conference selections.

119

PASADENA BOUND Four teams (Alabama, Stanford, Navy and Lafayette) had been declared winners of the 1926 national championship before the Crimson Tide reached Pasadena to play Stanford in the Rose Bowl. A 7-7 tie between the Southern and Western Conference champions did not settle any scores New Years Day, 1927. The 1926 squad featured All-Americans Hoyt “Wu” Winslett and Fred Pickhard. Three other Alabama men, backs Ernie Barnes and Herschel Caldwell and center Gordon “Sherlock” Holmes joined them on the 11-member All-Southern Conference team. Besides the Rose Bowl standoff against Stanford, Alabama’s only other challenge came in a 2-0 tiff with then-powerful Sewanee. A blocked punt that went out of the end zone by Pickhard proved to be the difference in the Sewanee contest. The very next week, Pickhard blocked two punts, both resulting in touchdowns, in a 24-0 win over LSU. Alabama clinched a Rose Bowl berth with a 33-6 victory over Georgia on Thanksgiving Day.

1926

1930

PERFECTION A 10-0 season, along with a 24-0 whitewashing of Washington State in the Rose Bowl gave Wallace Wade his third championship and ended an era of Tide football on a glorious note. Extraordinary tackle Fred Sington finished an unmatched career as a student-athlete being unanimously picked to the 1930 All-America teams and earning Phi Beta Kappa honors for his toils in the classroom. Halfback John Henry Suther joined Sington on the All-America list while super sophomore Johnny Cain and guard John Miller were AllSouthern Conference picks. Incredibly in the Rose Bowl, Wade defied logic by starting his second unit, feeling his team was vastly superior to the West Coast Champions. Monk Campbell earned Rose Bowl MVP honors. Alabama shut out eight of its 10 foes with Tennessee (18-6) and Vanderbilt (12-7) holding the distinction of being the only teams to score on the 1930 Tide.

“MY BEST TEAM” Frank Thomas candidly called it his best Alabama team and the 29-13 romp over Stanford in the Rose Bowl confirmed the coach’s belief that the 1934 team was special. In an era where points were at a premium, Alabama averaged 31.4 a game while the opposition could manage but 4.5 a contest. Legendary end Don Hutson, who some 56 years later would be named to the all-time college football team, displayed the skills that would one day earn him induction into seven different Halls of Fame (Alabama, Arkansas, Green Bay Packers, NFL, College, Helms Foundation and Wisconsin). Tailback Dixie Howell and tackle Bill Lee joined Hutson as All-Americans. The only close game all year came in the annual heavyweight thriller with Tennessee, a 13-6 Crimson Tide win. Howell, Hutson, Lee and guard Charlie Marr earned AllSEC honors. In the Rose Bowl, Howell scored two touchdowns, one on a scintillating 67-yard scamper. He also passed 59 yards to Hutson for another score. For the game, he averaged 43.8 yards a punt, gained 111 rushing yards and 160 passing.

COTTON BOWL CHAMPS Alabama received a share of the 1941 title by being named to the honor roll of the Houlgate System. The Crimson Tide team finished the year 9-2 with conference losses to Mississippi State and Vanderbilt. The 1941 team was gifted with brilliant end Holt Rast earning unanimous All-America accolades and plaudits of being one of the best 11 players in the first 50 years of Alabama football. Along with a 29-21 victory over SWC champion Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl, significant wins for the Tide came against Georgia, featuring future Heisman Trophy winner Frank Sinkwich, along with Tennessee, Georgia Tech and Miami. In the Cotton Bowl win, halfback Jimmy Nelson returned a punt 72 yards for one touchdown and scored on a 21-yard run for another. Rast, concluding his career, returned an interception for a touchdown and Russ Craft scored twice. After the game, Nelson, Rast and Don Whitmire shared MVP honors.

123

SUGAR BOWL CHAMPS As far-fetched as it sounded back when he was recruiting his first class four years before, Paul Bryantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s promise of a 1961 national championship proved as accurate as his precise demand for excellence. Led by quarterback Pat Trammell, center/ linebacker Lee Roy Jordan and two-way line star Billy Neighbors, Alabama ascended to the pinnacle of the college football world, winning all 11 games and being named the No. 1 team in America. Alabama outscored its opponents 297-25 and after Tennessee managed a field goal in a 34-3 loss to the Tide, no one scored again until Arkansas equaled that three-point output in the Sugar Bowl. North Carolina State, led by future NFL star quarterback Roman Gabriel, fell to the Tide 26-7. The seven points were the most yielded to an opponent during the entire season. Neighbors was a unanimous All-America selection while Jordan and Trammell were second-team picks. It would be the first of six national title runs for Bear Bryant during his 25-year career at Alabama.

BROADWAY JOE Gimpy-legged Joe Namath aired his immense talents to a nationally televised audience in the first ever night Orange Bowl game. Namath and his teammates contended then, and now, that the star quarterback scored what would have been a game winner on a sneak play from the Longhorn six-inch line in the fourth quarter. One official ruled him in, the other out, and in the end it was a 21-17 Texas win. Despite the controversial loss to Texas, Alabama was the 1964 AP and UPI National Champion. Namathâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knee injury vs. North Carolina State gave backup Steve Sloan the chance to lead the Tide to wins over Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi State and LSU. Namath, who came off the bench in the final minutes against Georgia Tech, sparked a 24-7 win over the Yellow Jackets that ended the bitter series for 15 years. Roy Ogdenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unforgettable 108-yard kickoff return and Namath-to-Ray Perkins touchdown pass were key plays in a 21-14 win over Auburn on Thanksgiving Day. Namath, halfback/kicker David Ray, tackle Dan Kearley and guard Wayne Freeman were named to different All-America teams.

125

ORANGE BOWL CHAMPS The 1965 edition of the Alabama Crimson Tide got off to a slow start, losing its first game of the season to Georgia 18-17. The Crimson Tide quickly rebounded with wins over Tulane, Ole Miss and Vanderbilt. Alabama finished off the season with a 30-3 thumping of in-state rival Auburn. This victory also gave the Crimson Tide the SEC title, its second in a row. The Crimson Tideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season earned the team a No. 4 ranking and an invitation to the 1966 Orange Bowl where they would face the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The national title seemed a long shot for both teams, but with No. 1 Michigan State falling to UCLA in the Rose Bowl and No. 2 Arkansas losing to LSU in the Cotton Bowl earlier in the day, it appeared that the outcome of the Orange Bowl would decide the national champion. The teams traded blows for much of the game but the arm of Steve Sloan proved too much for the Huskers. Sloan went 20-of-28 passing to break the Orange Bowl pass completion record set one year earlier by fellow Tide quarterback Joe Namath. Sloan finished the game with 296 passing yards, also setting an Orange Bowl standard and giving Alabama a 39-28 victory and the 1965 national championship.

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

127

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

1979

BACK-TO-BACK The 1979 Alabama Crimson Tide was fierce to say the least. Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense posted shutouts against Baylor, Wichita State, Florida, LSU and Miami. Alabama outscored five of its opponents on the season by 30 points or more with the biggest margin of victory coming against Vanderbilt in a 66-3 game. Alabama capped off the undefeated regular season by beating Auburn 25-18 and Miami 30-0. After its perfect 11-0 regular season, Coach Bryantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crimson Tide team returned to the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans again for the second straight year. This time the Crimson Tide faced its future SEC West rival in the University of Arkansas Razorbacks, who then were a part of the Southwest Conference. Alabama was led by running back Major Ogilvie as the Tide outgained the Razorbacks 284-97 in rushing yards. Ogilvie scored two touchdowns in a 24-9 victory that gave the Crimson Tide its 11th national title and Bryant his sixth and final championship.

129

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

1992

2009

BACK ON TOP Nick Saban’s 2009 national championship team had the perfect combination of suffocating defense, a potent rushing attack, a winning quarterback and outstanding special teams. The 2009 team captured the program’s 13th national championship and the school’s 22nd SEC Championship with a 14-0 record. The Crimson Tide conquered every challenge placed in front of them, including a 32-13 thrashing of top-ranked Florida in the SEC Championship Game and a 37-21 triumph over Texas in the Citi BCS National Championship Game at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. The Crimson Tide produced a record six first team Associated Press All-Americans and eight first team All-SEC selections. Mark Ingram became Alabama’s first Heisman Trophy winner and Rolando McClain claimed the Butkus Award and the Lambert Award, presented to the nation’s top linebacker. Ingram set a school record with 1,658 rushing yards with 20 total touchdowns while averaging 189.0 all-purpose yards and nine touchdowns in six games against nationally ranked opponents. McClain led the team with 105 tackles while accounting for 14.5 tackles for loss, four sacks, two interceptions, four pass breakups and 14 quarterback hurries. Firstyear starting quarterback Greg McElroy completed 61 percent of his passes for 2,508 yards with 17 touchdowns. His 81.25 pass attempts for every interception thrown in 2009 was the second-best mark in SEC history, behind only Peyton Manning. Alabama knocked off six top-25 opponents on the way to the national championship with wins over No. 7 Virginia Tech, No. 16 Ole Miss, No. 22 South Carolina, No. 9 LSU, No. 1 Florida and No. 2 Texas. Maybe the Tide’s toughest wins came in hotly contested games with rivals Tennessee and Auburn. UA used two blocked field goals by Terrence Cody against the Vols to escape with a 12-10 win and then used a fourth-quarter drive, engineered by McElroy, for a 26-21 win over the Tigers on the Plains.

131

DOMINATION IN THE DOME The 2011 Crimson Tide claimed the school’s 14th national championship, handing the previously undefeated LSU Tigers a resounding 21-0 loss in the season’s title game. It was the first shutout in Bowl Championship Series history and the first time since Miami in 1991 that a team pitched a shutout to secure the national title. Alabama produced an astounding seven first-team All-Americans, including Mark Barron, Barrett Jones, Dont’a Hightower, Dre Kirkpatrick, DeQuan Menzie, Trent Richardson and Courtney Upshaw. Richardson became Alabama’s first Doak Walker Award winner and finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting. Jones received the Outland Trophy, the Wuerffel Trophy and the ARA Sportsmanship Award. Carson Tinker accepted the Disney Spirit Award for the team’s efforts following the April 27, 2011, tornado that ravaged Tuscaloosa. Richardson set a school record with 1,679 rushing yards to go along with 24 total touchdowns and 21 rushing scores. Hightower led the team with 85 total tackles while Upshaw accounted for a team-high 18 tackles for loss (-90 yards) and 9.5 sacks (-62 yards) plus one interception return for a touchdown, two forced fumbles and 11 quarterback hurries. First-year starting quarterback AJ McCarron completed 66.8 percent of his passes for 2,634 yards with 16 touchdowns. McCarron threw only five interceptions or one every 65.6 pass attempts in 2011, which was the third-best mark in SEC history, behind only Peyton Manning and Greg McElroy. Defensively, Alabama put together one of the best seasons in the modern era of college football. The Crimson Tide led the nation in the four major categories: scoring defense (8.2 ppg), total defense (183.6 ypg), rush defense (72.2 ppg) and pass efficiency defense (83.69) while also leading the nation in pass defense at 111.46 ypg. Alabama was only the second team to lead the nation in all four defensive categories and the first since Oklahoma in 1986. On the offensive side of the football, the Tide averaged 429.6 yards per game while scoring 34.85 points per game, statistics that ranked fourth and fifth, respectively, in school history.

2012

BACK-TO-BACK The Alabama football team established its dominance early against Notre Dame on its way to an overwhelming performance as the Crimson Tide earned the programs 15th national championship in football with a 42-14 victory over Notre Dame in the 2013 Discover BCS National Championship Game. Alabama’s 2012 senior class won a school record 49 games over a four-year span while losing only five contests. The 49 wins tied Nebraska for the most in college football history and ranks among the best four-year totals in Southeastern Conference history (Florida won 48 games from 2006-09 and Alabama won 48 from 2008-11). Alabama produced four first team All-Americans in 2012, giving them 22 All-America honors by 19 different players from 2008-12. The 2012 first team All-Americans included Barrett Jones, Dee Milliner, C.J. Mosley and Chance Warmack. D.J. Fluker was also a second-team All-American and AJ McCarron garnered third-team honors. Jones also became Alabama’s first William V. Campbell and Rimington Trophy winner. McCarron led the Alabama offense with a school-record 30 touchdown passes while leading the nation with a 175.28 pass efficiency rating. He threw for 2,933 yards with only three interceptions while completing 67.2 percent of his passes. Lacy led the way on the ground with 1,322 yards and 17 scores. Yeldon added a freshman record 1,108 yards and 12 rushing touchdowns. Cooper led all receivers with a freshman-record 59 receptions for 1,000 yards and 11 scores. Defensively, Alabama put together another outstanding season, leading the nation in three major categories: scoring defense (10.9 ppg), total defense (250.0 ypg) and rush defense (76.4 ppg). Alabama pitched four shutouts, the most since the 1979 team had five. On the offensive side of the football, the Tide averaged 445.5 yards per game while scoring 38.7 points per game. UA’s 542 points in 2012 was a school record.

133

BACK ON TOP In a top-ranked matchup of contrasting styles, the Alabama Crimson Tide showed incredible resourcefulness and resilience to earn its 16th national championship against the Clemson Tigers in the College Football Playoff National Championship by a score of 45-40. The title, Alabama’s fourth in the last seven seasons, concluded a 14-1 year for the Tide while Clemson suffered its first loss of the 2015 campaign. It was head coach Nick Saban’s fifth national title, four of which came at UA, joining Paul “Bear” Bryant as the only two coaches in college football history to win at least five national championships during their tenure. Tight end O.J. Howard caught five passes for a career-high 208 yards on his way to Offensive MVP honors in the season’s final game. Jake Coker passed for a career-best 335 yards, while running back Derrick Henry rushed for 158 yards and three scores. Senior Kenyan Drake returned a kickoff for 95 yards and a score to lift the Tide to the 45-40 win in front of 75,756 (capacity: 71,000) at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. Alabama’s 2015 senior class won a school record 50 games over a four-year span while losing only six contests. The 50 wins were the most in college football history. The 2014 Crimson Tide seniors and the 1997 Nebraska Cornhuskers, who posted a 49-2 record and three national championships, previously held the record for wins by a senior class. Alabama recorded 62 victories from 2011-15, the most in a five-year span in major college football history, surpassing the previously held record of 61 wins by the Tide from 2008-12. The Crimson Tide had four first team All-Americans in 2015, including unanimous selections in Derrick Henry and Reggie Ragland, to go with consensus choices Ryan Kelly and A’Shawn Robinson. Eddie Jackson was chosen as a second- and third-team honoree, while first-year standouts Minkah Fitzpatrick and Ross Pierschbacher were each freshman All-Americans. Henry cleaned up on the awards circuit, highlighted by winning Alabama’s second ever Heisman Trophy. The junior tailback was also selected as the Maxwell Trophy and Doak Walker Award winner, and the Walter Camp Player of the Year. Kelly brought home the Crimson Tide’s second Rimington Trophy, awarded to the nation’s top center. The conference also recognized a trio of Alabama players with its top honors, as Henry was the Offensive Player of the

134

2015 Year, Ragland the Defensive Player of the Year and Kelly the Jacobs Blocking Trophy winner as well as the Scholar Athlete of the Year. Henry was the catalyst for the Alabama offense, recording school records in yards (2,219), rushing touchdowns (28), attempts (395) and all-purpose yards (2,310). His 2,219 yards led the nation and shattered the SEC singleseason rushing record previously held by Herschel Walker (1,891). Firstyear starter Jake Coker finished his career at Alabama a perfect 14-0 as the starting quarterback and recorded 3,110 yards through the air along with 21 touchdowns by season’s end. His favorite target, Calvin Ridley, set the freshman record for yards with 1,045 receiving, eclipsing the previous freshman record of 1,000 held by Amari Cooper (2012). Ridley hauled in a team-leading 89 catches for a team-high 1,045 yards in 15 games (11 starts) and added seven touchdown catches. In total, the Crimson Tide’s offense averaged 199.9 rushing yards per game and 227.1 yards through the air per contest. Defensively, Alabama checked in as the nation’s top-ranked rush defense, third in total defense and scoring defense, and eighth in pass efficiency defense. Possibly the best defense during the Saban era, the Tide recorded 49 sacks, the most by a Saban-coached team and the third-most sacks in program history. The defense also forced and SEC-leading 27 turnovers, 19 of which were interceptions which also led the conference. The 442 return yards on those picks led the nation, while the four pick-sixes by Alabama’s secondary ranked second in the NCAA. Senior linebacker and defensive captain Reggie Ragland led the Tide in tackles with 102, while defensive lineman Jonathan Allen paced the defense with 12.0 sacks (-80 yards) and 14.5 tackles for a loss (-92 yards). Eddie Jackson, in his first year as the starting safety, picked off six passes for an Alabama all-time record 230 return yards, including two scores. The Crimson Tide won 14 games by an average of 20 points per game and outscored all opponents by a margin of 526-227. Alabama beat the likes of No. 20 Wisconsin in Arlington, No. 8 Georgia in Athens, ninth-ranked Texas A&M in College Station, No. 2 LSU and 17th-ranked Mississippi State in Starkville. Alabama downed No. 18 Florida, 29-13, to earn the program’s 25th Southeastern Conference championship, before defeating No. 3 Michigan State, 38-0, in the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the 2015 Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic.

17 in 17 The No. 4-ranked University of Alabama football team defeated third-ranked Georgia, 26-23, on a game-winning 41-yard touchdown pass from freshman Tua Tagovailoa to fellow freshman wide receiver DeVonta Smith in the 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship Game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The Crimson Tide won its 17th national championship and fifth in the last nine seasons with the win over the Bulldogs. Alabama head coach Nick Saban improved to 12-0 against his former assistants with the win over UGA’s Kirby Smart. Tagovailoa was named Offensive MVP after going 14-of-24 for 166 yards, three scores through the air and 27 yards on the ground, all in the second half. On defense, junior Da’Ron Payne was named the Defensive MVP with six tackles in the game. Sophomore linebacker Mack Wilson led the team with 12 tackles, including two tackles-for-loss. Senior defensive back Tony Brown and sophomore defensive lineman Raekwon Davis each had an interception in the win. Georgia received the ball first in the overtime period, starting at the UA 25-yard line. The Alabama defense pushed Georgia back nine yards to the 34-yard line, where the Bulldogs netted a 51-yard field goal attempt to go up 23-20. Lining up on the UGA 25-yard line in Alabama’s first overtime possession, Tagovailoa was sacked on the first play for a 16-yard loss to the 41-yard line. On the next play from scrimmage, Tagovailoa found Smith sprinting down the field for a 41-yard touchdown reception to give Alabama the 26-23 win in thrilling fashion. The game opened with a scoreless first quarter before Georgia took a 3-0 lead on a 41-yard field goal with 14:14 left to go in the first half. The Bulldogs extended the lead to 6-0 on the next drive, going 70 yards on 13 plays to set up a 27-yard field goal. Georgia found the end zone late in the first half to go up 13-0 following a one-yard touchdown run with just seven seconds left in the first half of play.

2017 The Tide began the second half with freshman Tua Tagovailoa in at quarterback. On the second drive of the half, UA faced a third-and-seven from its own 47-yard line when Tagovailoa escaped multiple Bulldog defenders and scrambled for nine yards to keep the drive alive. Alabama capitalized with Tagovailoa completing four-straight passes, including a six-yard touchdown pass to freshman Henry Ruggs III, capping a seven-play 56-yard scoring drive that cut the lead to 13-7 with 8:52 left in the third quarter. Georgia quickly responded with an 80-yard touchdown pass to put the Bulldogs up 20-7 with 6:52 remaining in the third quarter. But following that score, the Crimson Tide defense stiffened, limiting the Bulldogs to just 71 yards of offense and a single field goal the rest of the way to spur the UA rally. The comeback started on the next Georgia drive when sophomore defensive lineman Raekwon Davis intercepted a Bulldog pass and galloped 19 yards to the UGA 40-yard line. The Tide capitalized on the turnover, with a 43-yard Andy Pappanastos field goal to cut the deficit to 20-10 with 5:15 remaining in the third quarter. Alabama cut the lead to 20`-13 with 9:24 left in the fourth quarter as Tagovailoa engineered an eight-play, 71-yard drive that ended with a 30-yard Pappanastos field goal. Freshman running back Najee Harris provided a spark off the bench with a 16-yard scamper to begin the drive, followed by a 35-yard run two plays later to put the Tide in position for the score. Alabama then came up with a big stop on defense, stuffing Georgia on a thirdand-two to force a three-and-out and the Tide took over on its own 34-yard line with 7:10 remaining in the game. Tagovailoa drove UA down the field where the offense was faced with a fourth-and-four from the UGA seven-yard line. The true freshman scrambled around in the backfield before finding junior wide receiver Calvin Ridley in the end zone for the seven-yard touchdown. Pappanastos’ extra point tied the game at 20-20 with 3:56 left in the game. After a Georgia three-and-out, Alabama was wide left on a field goal attempt at the end of regulation to send the game into overtime.

In 2009, Alabama sophomore running back Mark Ingram became the 75th recipient of the Heisman Trophy and first Crimson Tide player to take home the honor.

HEISMAN Derrick Henry brought home Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second Heisman Trophy in 2015 after rushing for an SEC record 2,219 yards and 28 touchdowns, as he led the Crimson Tide to its 16th national championship.

Alabama boasts a rich and storied football history. Alabama has won 17 national championships, 30 conference championships, produced 125 first team All-Americans, 25 members of the College Football Hall of Fame and numerous national award winners. But, until 2009, Alabama had never laid claim to the most celebrated and soughtafter award in college athletics – the Heisman Trophy. The Heisman is a national symbol of the collegiate football experience and unmatched competitiveness. The Crimson Tide had been represented by numerous finalists over the years, but none of the first 74 Heisman Trophies found a home in Tuscaloosa. All of that changed as a sophomore from Flint, Mich., burst into the nation’s consciousness in 2009, breaking tackles all the way to the Nokia Theater in New York City’s Times Square where Mark Ingram became Alabama’s first Heisman Trophy winner. He edged Stanford’s Toby Gerhart by 28 points to capture the most coveted award in college football, tallying 1,304 points and 227 first-place votes in the closest Heisman Trophy vote in the award’s history. The Crimson Tide collected its second Heisman Trophy in 2015 as Derrick Henry, a native of Yulee, Fla., set the SEC rushing record with 2,219 yards on his way to victory. Henry earned 1,832 points to capture the Heisman, including 378 first-place votes that outdistanced Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey by 293 points with Deshaun Watson third (1,165 points). Ingram and Henry are among 12 players in Southeastern Conference history to win the Heisman Trophy as the SEC has produced five in the last seven years, joining 2007 winner Tim Tebow (Florida), 2010 winner Cam Newton (Auburn) and 2012 winner Johnny Manziel (Texas A&M). Other SEC winners include Frank Sinkwich (Georgia, 1942), Billy Cannon (LSU, 1959), Steve Spurrier (Florida, 1966), Pat Sullivan (Auburn, 1971), Herschel Walker (Georgia, 1982), Bo Jackson (Auburn, 1985) and Danny Wuerffel (Florida, 1996). Ingram produced a 2009 season that was one for the Alabama football history books. He rushed for a then-school-record 1,658 yards with 20 total touchdowns in 14 games for a 118.43 yards per game average to rank 11th nationally and second in the SEC. Ingram added 30 receptions for 322 yards and three scores. His 1,992 all-purpose yards is the third-highest single-season total in school history. Ingram also gained an astonishing 1,075 yards - or 54 percent of his all-purpose yards - after contact. His numbers climbed even higher when the Crimson Tide’s opponent were ranked in the top 25, accounting for 1,134 all-purpose yards or 189.0 ypg, six games against top-25 foes, including four against top-10 teams. Henry’s 2,219 yards in 2015 was the fifth-best rushing total by a running back in the history of the Football Bowl Subdivision. He also set school records for rushing touchdowns (28), rushing yards per game (147.9), all-purpose yards (2,310), carries (395) and points scored (168). He seemed to play even better against the best competition, averaging 138.8 yards per game (10 games) against teams with rush defenses ranked in the top 50 and 166.6 ypg against teams ranked in the top 25 (nine). Known as the DAC Trophy when it first was presented to Jay Berwagner, the legendary “one man gang” of the University of Chicago on Dec. 9, 1935, the bronze statue depicts a football player side-stepping and straight arming a tackler. Cast in the highly artistic method known as the lost wax process of bronze medal molding, the statue weighs 45 pounds and is 14 inches long, 13 and a half inches in height and six and a half inches in width. It was designed by New York sculptor Frank Eliscu, who was commissioned by the Downtown Athletic Club to create a figure of a football player in imperishable bronze to serve as an annual trophy award. Eliscu used his friend, Ed Smith, a starter on the New York University Football team, as the player model for his initial creations. However, reference to the award as the DAC Trophy was only used once. Following the death of John Heisman in October, 1936 (Heisman at the time was the Director of Athletics at the Downtown Athletic Club), the award was renamed the Heisman Memorial Trophy. Today, the annual award involves the use of two statues. One is presented to the college football player selected for excellence and this remains the permanent possession of the winner. A second trophy is awarded to the school represented by the winner.

BILETNIKOFF AWARD

BROYLES AWARD

butkus award

Created in 1995, the Chuck Bednarik Award is presented annually to the top defensive player in college football as chosen by the Maxwell Football Club. The award is named for Chuck Bednarik, a former college and professional American football player. Voters for the Maxwell College Awards are NCAA head college football coaches, members of the Maxwell Football Club, and sportswriters and sportscasters from across the country.

The Biletnikoff Award is presented annually to the nation’s outstanding college football receiver (the award defines receiver as any player who catches a pass) by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation, Inc. Amari Cooper was the first Alabama football player to win the Award (2015) after a record-setting season with 124 catches for 1,727 yards and 16 touchdowns. Cooper was selected by the Biletnikoff Award Selection Committee, comprised of 265 distinguished college football commentators, journalists and former players. The award is named for Fred Biletnikoff, who starred for Florida State and then the Oakland Raiders.

The Frank Broyles Award was established to recognize some of the most dedicated, hardestworking people in America – the college football assistant coach. And, over the years, the award has done just that. Each year the five Broyles Award finalists are chosen from almost 1,500 assistant coaches representing the College Football Bowl Subdivision. Each head coach can nominate one assistant coach from his staff. Kirby Smart became Alabama’s first Broyles Award Recipient in 2009. Smart guided one of the nation’s top defenses as the Crimson Tide claimed the program’s 13th National Championship.

Created in 1985, the Butkus Award is given annually to college football’s top linebacker. The award is named in honor of College Football Hall of Fame and Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker Dick Butkus, widely regarded as one of the best linebackers of all time and a star at the University of Illinois and the Chicago Bears. A 1979 inductee of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Butkus played in the NFL for the Chicago Bears and earned a reputation as one of the most intimidating players in the history of the game.

Alabama offensive lineman Barrett Jones was the sixth Alabama player selected as a finalist and became the program’s first winner in 2012.

The Disney Sports Spirit Award has been presented each year since 1996 to college football’s most inspirational player, team or figure. The Alabama football team, represented by Carson Tinker, was recognized for its efforts following the April 27, 2011, tornado that tore through Tuscaloosa. The award is not based on statistics or other on-field records or achievements, but rather for bravery, courage, overcoming adversity, and the love of college football.

The Joe Moore Award, presented by the Joe Moore Foundation for Teamwork, awarded Alabama the inauguaral trophy in 2015. It will now be given annually to college football’s best offensive line unit. The award is designed to preserve the legacy of Joe Moore, who coached most notably at Pittsburgh and Notre Dame. Moore was responsible for developing the skills of several AllAmericans throughout his storied career, including Bill Fralic, Mark May, Russ Grimm, Jimbo Covert, Mark Stepnowski, Aaron Taylor, and Andy Heck. Coach Moore sent 52 players on to the NFL, several of whom are in the Pro and College Football Hall of Fame.

NFL DRAFT Names such as Shaun Alexander, Cornelius Bennett, Joe Namath, Chris Samuels, Kenny Stabler and Derrick Thomas have starred on the NFL gridiron after their career at Alabama.

Alabama had five players taken in the first 35 picks in the 2012 and 2017 NFL Drafts and four selected in the first two rounds in 2013. In 2016, six Tide players were selected in the first 60 picks. Alabama set an NFL Draft record in 2017 with seven players selected in the first 55 picks. The Tide’s 12 selections in 2018 is a school and Southeastern Conference record for a single draft.

Don Hutson could outmaneuver and outrace virtually every defender in the league. He led the NFL in receiving in eight of his 11 seasons and in scoring five straight years. Twice, in 1941 and 1942, he was named the league’s MVP.

Bart Starr was a 17th-round draft choice of the Green Bay Packers in 1956. Three years later, his playing time still was limited and his football future appeared in doubt. That’s when Vince Lombardi took over as the Packers coach, an event that may have saved Starr’s NFL career.

Joe Namath is best remembered for his performance in the New York Jets’ stunning 16-7 upset of the heavily favored Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III. However, during his 13-year tenure from 1965 through 1977 he was one of the game’s most exciting, proficient and publicized quarterbacks.

Lombardi, in tireless study of films, found that he liked Bart’s mechanics, his arm, his ball-handling techniques and, most of all, his decision-making abilities. Under Lombardi’s careful nurturing, Starr gained the confidence to become one of the NFL’s great field leaders.

Namath earned all-league accolades four times in his career (1967, 1968, 1969, and 1972) and was named to the all-time AFL honor team in 1969. He also was elected to four AFL all-star games and one AFC-NFC Pro Bowl.

When Hutson retired in 1945 after 11 superb seasons, he held 18 NFL records, including 488 career receptions.

John Hannah, a 6-2, 265-pound guard from Alabama, was the first-round pick of the New England Patriots and the fourth player selected in the 1973 National Football League Draft. He was an eight-letterman star in football, track and wrestling and a two-time gridiron All-America at Alabama.

Dwight Stephenson was born Nov. 20, 1957, in Murfreesboro, N.C. He was a quiet, intense, hard-working and competitive offensive lineman out of the University of Alabama. He was an exceptionally quick blocker and possessed an explosive charge off the snap. Stephenson was the Dolphins offensive captain and his presence as the anchor of the offensive line was a major factor in the Dolphins’ record of allowing the fewest quarterback sacks in the NFL for six straight years.

Throughout his 13-season, 198-game NFL career with the Cleveland Browns from 1978 to 1990, Ozzie Newsome was a fixture at tight end, a true team leader in every respect, and one of only five players in Browns history to play in parts of three decades.

Hannah finished his career after the 1985 season on a high note. His final campaign had produced an AFC championship and Super Bowl XX appearance for the Patriots, and All-Pro honors and a Pro Bowl invitation for the veteran lineman.

Derrick Thomas displayed extraordinary pass-rushing skills throughout his 11-season career that tragically was cut short by his death following an automobile accident shortly after the 1999 NFL regular season.

A four-time Pro Bowl selection and twotime AFC Player of the Year, Kenny Stabler led the Oakland Raiders to their first Super Bowl championship with a victory over the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl XI.

No player amassed more sacks during the decade of 1990s than the 116.5 sacks by Thomas. He finished his career with 126.5 sacks, which was the fourth-highest total by a linebacker in NFL history. Thomas had 10 or more sacks in a season seven times and recorded multi-sack games 27 times during his 169-game career.

Stabler was named the NFL’s MVP in 1974 when he led the Raiders to a 12-2 record and a berth in the AFC Championship game. He remains Oakland’s career leader in victories, passing yardage, completions and touchdown passes.

Nicknamed the “Wizard of Oz,” Newsome became the leading tight end receiver in NFL history with 662 receptions for 7,980 yards and 47 touchdowns. He ranked as the fourthleading receiver when he retired. Newsome is now the general manager of the Baltimore Ravens.

Compliance NCAA legislation expressly prohibits University supporters from providing “extra benefits” to studentathletes. An extra benefit is any special arrangement to provide a student-athlete or his/her family a benefit not authorized by NCAA legislation. In general, you may not provide anything or make special arrangements for student-athletes or prospective student-athletes that are not available to the general student population: • • • • • • • • • • • • •

when dealing with student-athletes. WHO IS A REPRESENTATIVE OF AThletics INTERESTS?

RULES

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

Who is a Prospective Student-Athlete? NCAA rules stipulate that a prospective student-athlete is a person who has started classes for the ninth (9th) grade, regardless of his/her athletic ability. A prospective student-athlete remains a prospect even after he or she has signed a National Letter of Intent or accepts an offer of financial aid to attend The University of Alabama until he /she reports for the first day of classes for a regular term (fall or spring), registers, enrolls and attends summer school prior to initial full time enrollment, or participates in a regular squad practice or competition before the beginning of any term.

What about Student-Athlete Appearances & Promotions? Student-athletes are prohibited from being involved in the advertisement, recommendation or promotion of sales or use of any commercial product or service of any kind. All charitable, educational and nonprofit promotional activities involving student-athletes must have prior approval from the athletics department. All student-athlete appearances for such events are coordinated through the UA Athletics Student-Athlete Enhancement Office. For information, please call (205) 348-4621.

providing cash or loans, or signing for a loan; a guarantee of bond; the use of an automobile; gifts of any kind, including birthday cards; gift of clothing or equipment; providing loans to relatives or friends; any tangible items, including merchandise; free or reduced-cost services, rentals or purchases of any type; free or reduced-cost housing; gift of cash or like items; providing special discounts for goods and services (e.g., car repairs, haircuts, etc.); purchasing complimentary admissions from a student-athlete; providing an honorarium to a student-athlete for a speaking engagement.

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

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

What About Recruiting? As a representative of Alabama’s athletics’ interests, you may not: • Contact a prospect’s coach, principal or counselor in an effort to evaluate a prospect; • Visit the prospect’s institution to pick up film or transcripts pertaining to the evaluation of the prospect’s academic eligibility or athletic ability; • Contact a prospect, his/her parents, legal guardians or spouse on or off the Alabama campus; • Contact a prospect by telephone, letter, e-mail, or interaction on social media; • Make special arrangements for entertainment for recruiting purposes; • Provide reduced cost products or services to a prospect.
