If I remember correctly, that was the play that had Gene so hot that Keith Jackson commented, "Ole Bebes is stimulated."Keith Jackson called it "picky", so he thought it was a bad call too.
Other than Julio, MI probably was more important than anybody else in our rise from the ashes under CNS!Alabama's first Heisman winner, Mark Ingram

Every time I saw Najee hurdle a player I cringed. Specifically, it wasn't the hurdle but the landing that I feared. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if "hurdling" became a penalty. I generally hate new rules, but that's one I wouldn't necessarily "disagree" with because of the injury potential.
That would never happen because it’s an offensive penalty and the powers that be only care about player safety when its convenient.Every time I saw Najee hurdle a player I cringed.

Saban hated it too. He used to really give Najee the business on the sidelines after one of his patented hurdles.Every time I saw Najee hurdle a player I cringed.

They should have finished 1-2-3 in the Heisman race.As time passes, and the more highlights I go back and watch, I'd be tempted to say Najee may have been our best RB of all time.
He deserved the Heisman. But so did DeVonta and Mac. What a stacked team that was.
