Near the end of the regular season last year, Rolando McClain went into Alabama's inside linebacker meeting room and wrote out a challenge on the white board.
To beat it, a player had to produce statistically like McClain during one of his top games with the Crimson Tide while, like McClain during that game, making few -- if any -- mental mistakes.
For more than a month, no one checked all the boxes.
The player that finally did? Mack Wilson in the national title game. Making just his second career start, the then-sophomore posted a team-high 12 tackles and two tackles for a loss during Alabama's win over Georgia.
