Alabama football fans lament "The Missing Ring" for the undefeated Crimson Tide team of 1966 that was not declared the national champion at the end of that season. But Alabama has another national-title beef of less notoriety that remains a point of contention for Tide fans.
A few college coaches expressed concern about a recent situation that saw LSU hit with significant penalties for its contact with Alabama signee Matt Womack.
Coach Nick Saban noted in a game week press conference that he [Former No. 1 PK recruit, Adam Griffith] was playing through an undisclosed injury, which Griffith later revealed prior to the Tide’s College Playoff semifinal game as a stress fracture in his lower back.
rbr opYeah, being a kicker is really easy, you guys. Half of the people dumping on these guys won't walk across the house to get a beer if they have a hangnail, much less play tackle football, at a position placing intense torque on the core -- and do so with a broken back.
Oh, yeah. And our punter is amazing.
