As a sophomore, he is a young quarterback, but does have experience on his side. He played in all 13 games as a freshman, but only eight were at the quarterback spot. In the quarterback position, he totaled 389 yards, 30-of-48 passes and three touch-downs. His other position was accounted for as the primary holder on field goals and extra point attempts. So far this season McCarron has proven himself while aiding the Tide to victories. He won the Ozzie Newsome Most Improved Freshman Award after spring practice in 2010 and won the Bart Starr Most Improved Player this year. As the season progresses, look to see more of McCarron.

8 | TouchdownAlabama.net Fall 2011

This week the Tide is going against the Arkansas Razorbacks and this is also the SEC Opener for the Tide. Do you think that the Razorbacks will pose a bigger threat for the SEC West as opposed to LSU or Mississippi State? Either way, why do you think so? With the Razorbacks’ Knile Davis out with an injury, how do you think this will affect the team and their competition against the Tide?

I think Arkansas is a really dangerous team. They can pitch and catch the ball with the best of them. After seeing Mississippi State against Auburn, I have come to the realization that Mississippi State isn’t as good as I assumed and Arkansas is miles ahead of the Bulldogs. If I was asked that question at the beginning of the season, you would have received a much different answer. If you look at the LSU team, I think they have a solid team that might be

ahead of Arkansas but not by much. LSU has a better defense, but Arkansas could have a better offense. Either way both of these teams pose a threat for the Crimson Tide. Although these teams pose a threat, the team that poses the most threat to Alabama is Alabama. I believe the West is ours to lose and I don’t see this team losing or beating themselves. With Knile Davis out that will be a slight problem for Arkansas; he is a solid back that gave defensive fits last year. The Razorbacks will miss him slightly. Only because they are a pass-happy team and they have other guys who can step up into his role. Bottom line: Alabama should handle business against Arkansas to start the SEC season off. It should be a good game for a little while into Alabama pulls away and wins this game 31-17.Roll Tide Roll!

Alabama’s matchup against Arkansas has traditionally been billed as an early season test for

both teams. That trend will continue this year when the Razorbacks come to Tuscaloosa on September 24 to renew their rivalry with the Crimson Tide.

Since Bobby Petrino took over the program, Arkansas has been defined by very strong offense with a mediocre defensive performance. That script continues this year, even though Arkansas

only returns four starters on offense, while seven come back on defense.

The Arkansas offense was decimated by graduation and injuries. Ryan Mallett, Arkansas’s starting quarterback last year, left a year early and was drafted by the New England Patriots in the third round of the NFL draft. He passed for over 7,000 yards in his two years with the Razorbacks. He is replaced by Tyler Wilson, who torched Auburn’s secondary for over 300 yards when Mallett was

injured in their game in 2010. He started the 2011 campaign strong by passing for 264 yards and two touchdowns in a blowout against Missouri State.

Two other spots took a major hit since the end of the 2011 season and those are the tailback and offensive line. Only two starters return on the offensive line and neither of those were tackles. In Petrino’s pass-heavy offense, the tackles are relied on to protect the edges of the pocket. Arkansas will be breaking in two new

Section Title


tackles at the start of the season, and may still be when they come to Bryant-Denny.

In one of the more tragic off-season stories, the Razorbacks lost Knile Davis to a major ankle injury. Davis was the leading rusher in the SEC last season, tallying 1,322 yards. He provided much needed balance and kept defenses honest against the potent Razorback passing attack. A tailback by committee approach is being undertaken to replace Davis’s production. The injury has forced juniors Dennis Johnson and Ronnie Wingo into the spotlight.

One part of the Arkansas offense didn’t suffer major attrition: the skill positions, particularly wide receiver. Three receivers who started at least five games will return, as well as Joe Adams, who was lost to injury last year. The only loss was tight end D.J. Williams, who led the Razorbacks in receptions last year.

While the offense will be replacing many departed juniors and seniors, the defense will be hoping to improve with many familiar faces. It will have to improve its run defense, which gave up 162 yards a game last year. Good run defense starts up front, and Arkansas has two very strong defensive ends-Jake Bequette and Tenarius Wright, who combined for 13 sacks last season. They should be able to hold the edge against any

sort of outside running attack. The best returning player on the defense

plays middle linebacker for the Razorbacks: Jerry Franklin. Franklin is expected to contend for numerous post-season awards after notching 100 tackles last year. The linebackers only return one other starter, though, so look for defensive coordinator Willy Robinson to lean heavily on Franklin’s leadership and seniority to lead the unit.

Arkansas’s secondary returns everybody this season and should be the strength of the defense. Tramain Thomas, the starting free safety, was third on the team with 83 tackles. He also had four interceptions. The Razorbacks actually have three returning starting corners with Isaac Madison, Darius Winston and Jerry Mitchell. They have to improve, though, after providing just one interception among them last season.

The contest between Alabama and Arkansas on the shores of the Black Warrior River on September 24 will feature some fresh offensive faces and some veteran defensive ones. The returning wide receivers, as well as numerous returning defensive starters, will make spoiling the Razorbacks’ hog heaven a difficult task, but one that the Crimson Tide is absolutely capable of achieving.

“While the offense will be replacing many departed

juniors and seniors, the defense will be hoping to improve

with many familiar faces.”

News around theWEST

Arkansas Razorbacks:The Razorbacks will be visiting the Tide this week to open the Crimson

Tide’s SEC season. This is always a big matchup between the two teams of the West. Knile Davis is still out with an injury and quarterback Tyler Wilson looks to show his strengths against the Tide this week in Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Auburn Tigers:The Tigers are still rebuilding after the loss of some key players to the

NFL Draft, but have given their fans a show so far this season. The Tigers pack a punch when push comes to shove. Auburn has been known to start off slow, but then pull the win off late in the game. While the Tigers have had some close calls, they still have wins under their belt and play until the play clock runs out.

Catching Up With


Quarterback Club KickoffMal Moore recognized as first speaker

Alabama athletic directorMal Moore was the first speaker of the year for the Tuscaloosa Quarterback Club, which met Sept. 7 at The Zone in Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Moore opened by recognizing the University of Alabama

students and student-athletes, as well as others from Tuscaloosa and other places for their volunteer work during the tornado recovery. He then praised the leadership of UA president Robert Witt for improving all facets of the University, pointing out that for the seventh straight year the University has broken its enrollment record. He then acknowledged the accomplish-ments of some of the Crimson Tide’s athletic teams, specifically mentioning the national championship won by the gymnastics team and the SEC championship won by the softball team.

Moore noted the improvement of the men’s basketball team, pointing out that the Tide won all of its home games last season and that the team sold out the last five or six games of the season

in Coleman Coliseum.

“I told [head coach] Anthony Grant that in years past we would sell out because people would come to see Kentucky play, but now people are coming to see Alabama play,” Moore commented.

While touching on the successes and improvements of some of the other teams, he mentioned that the women’s soccer team defeated nationally-ranked San Diego State on Sept. 4 in California.

Moore said he was pleased that former football coach Gene

Stallings was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame last December and that former Crimson Tide star Marty Lyons will be inducted into the hall of fame this December. He said the 1961 national championship team, Bear Bryant’s first, recently cele-brated its 50th Anniversary. Moore was a member of that Crimson Ph

Moore also said that, for financial reasons, more and more schools are opting to play a big-name opponent at a neutral site, rather than scheduling a home and home match-up. For example, he said that for this weekend’s game at Penn State, Alabama was given 5,000 tickets, the same as Penn State received last year when the Nittany Lions came to Tuscaloosa. The visiting team would get $200,000 whereas when Alabama played Florida State in Jacksonville a few years back, each school was given 40,000 tickets and made about $2.5 million. “That’s a big difference, and it also solves a lot of problems for me.”

As for scheduling, Moore said that Alabama would like to play seven home games a year, “and with the neutral site revenue it’s almost like playing eight home games.” He said that when Alabama plays in Atlanta it exposes the Crimson Tide to people in Georgia, which also helps with recruiting.

Moore concluded his talk by praising the job Nick Saban has done.

“He’s an unbelievably sound football coach,” Moore commented. “He enjoys recruiting and he enjoys evalu-ating high school players. He recruits good student-athletes and that gives him a chance to win consistently. I enjoy watching him and the coaches do their jobs.”

Tide team, which finished 11-0, 7-0 in the SEC, scored 297 points, gave up only 25 points and registered six shut-outs.

“What a great team that was,” he said. “Coach Bryant turned the program around and changed the way everybody thought about Alabama football. Some of the guys hadn’t seen each other in years. It was quite a thrill seeing everybody together again. It was a very enjoyable time.”

Moore said that Alabama’s 1971 national champi-onship team would also be having a reunion later this year. “That was the first year of the wishbone,” he reminded the audience. “We were coming off a couple of back-to-back 6-5 seasons and Coach Bryant spent a lot of time with [Texas coach] Darrell Royal, and Royal talked Coach Bryant into switching to the wish-bone.”

“Royal brought [assistant coach] Emory Ballard [credited with developing the wishbone] and we stayed in the motel three days and they taught us the wishbone,” Moore related. “All of the practices were closed. We had the element of surprise when we [opened the season] on a Friday night in the LA Coli-seum against Southern Cal. They had no clue [what to do against that offense]. We scored the first three times we had the ball to take a 17-0 lead. Coach Bryant won his 200th game on his birthday. We went on to have an undefeated season.”

For the next 10 years, Alabama and its revamped offense dominated college football, winning 108 games, three more national championships and enabling Bryant to conclude his storied career as the all-time leader in coaching wins.

Moore said that the 1981 SEC Championship Team would also be honored. “That was the team that enabled Coach Bryant to break Amos Alonzo Stagg’s win record,” Moore said.

Stating that he is frequently asked about the varying starting times of Alabama home football games, Moore explained that the times, due to a 15-year, $3 billion contract, are dictated by television.

“CBS gets the first pick of the teams that it wants to televise, with ESPN having the second pick, ESPN2 the third pick and [the other networks] falling in behind,” he said.

Originally a native of Hackensack, N.J., who would have thought that Mark Ingram would have

the impact on Alabama that he had when he entered the Crimson Tide roster as a freshman in 2008?

Ingram attended school in Flint, Mich., first at Grand Blanc Community High School but after his junior year he attended Flint Southwestern Academy. He was a four year starter on his schools’ football teams, running for 2,546 yards and 36 touchdowns in his final two seasons.

As a senior, Ingram was Saginaw Valley MVP, Area Player of the Year, and an All-State selection. He was also a talented cornerback in high school, totaling 84 tackles and eight interceptions his senior season. In addition, he ran track and was a two-time All-State track star.

In 2008, Mark Ingram was a true freshman playing running back for the Alabama Crimson Tide. He played behind Glenn Coffee and brought uniqueness to the running back position that not many people have seen since the days of Shaun Alexander. He was selected to the 2008

SEC All-Freshman Team; his 12 rushing touchdowns also set an Alabama school record. At the end of his freshman season, Ingram rushed for 743 yards, averaging over five yards per carry.

In 2009, he began his Heisman run in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff opener against the Virginia Tech Hokies. He was the player of the game, rushing for 150 yards, a rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown. The touchdown reception was the decisive score of the game; it allowed the Tide to pull away with a 34-24 win against Virginia Tech. Against South

Carolina, Ingram ran for a career-high 246 yards and was named SEC Offensive Player of the Week. In the 2009 SEC championship game against the unde-feated and top-ranked Florida Gators Ingram, shined. He rushed for 113 yards and three touchdowns. He had two passes for 76 receiving yards to combine for 189 all-purpose yards. In the game, Ingram surpassed Bobby Humphrey’s single-season rushing record for the Crimson Tide, reaching 1,542 rushing yards for the season.

In December of 2009, Ingram won the sport’s most coveted individual award: the Heisman Trophy. He won in the closest vote in the award’s 75-year history. Ingram is Alabama’s first Heisman winner and the first running back to win the award since Reggie Bush. He was selected to the 2009 All-American Team by the Associated Press and AFCA. On January 7, 2010, Alabama defeated Texas 37-21 to win the BCS National Championship. Ingram received honors such as Offensive MVP after rushing for 116 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries. He became the first player since

Matt Leinart, in 2004, to win the Heisman Trophy and a National Championship in the same season. For the 2009 season, Ingram rushed for 1,658 yards and 17 touchdowns. He also had 334 receiving yards with three touchdowns.

In his junior season, he had knee surgery which caused him to miss the first two games of the season. The sophomore running back, Trent Richardson, filled in for him until the third game of the season. The Tide family saw Ingram’s return against Duke. He came back from the injury

looking like his old self. He rushed for 151 yards and two touchdowns. The Tide destroyed the Blue Devils 62-13.

In the game against Arkansas, Ingram helped the Tide overcome a 20-7 third quarter deficit by rushing for 150 and a touchdown and helped the Tide win 24-20. Unfortunately, Ingram did not have a 100-yard game for the rest of the season. He ended the season with 875 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns.

In January Ingram announced that he would forgo his senior season and enter the 2011 NFL Draft. At the time of the announcement, he was

projected as a first round pick. The New Orleans Saints selected Ingram with the 28th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft-the same pick number used to draft his father Mark Ingram, Sr.

Ingram was the first running back drafted in 2011 since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. This is the lowest pick used on the first running back chosen. The Saints acquired the pick from the New England Patriots, trading their second-round selection [No.56 overall] and their first-round selection in 2012 to do so. As Alabama head coach Nick Saban is part of Patriots head coach Bill Belichick’s coaching tree, the Patriots were widely assumed to be interested in drafting Ingram themselves. On July 28, 2011, Ingram decided on the jersy number 28 in honor of his and his father's draft pick number.

On July 29, 2011, Ingram agreed with the Saints on a four year contract,

with three years guaranteed and a fifth year option. The contract is worth $7.41 million, with a $3.89 million signing bonus. On August 12, 2011, Ingram scored his first touchdown as a Saint on a 14-yard run in a preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers.

He did wonderfully at Alabama, winning the Heisman Trophy, winning a National Title and many other awards in between. Expectations are high for

the new member of The New Orleans Saints.

Chapman’s journey with the Tide

“I just want to get up there and play.” - Tyler Hayes

key players on the defensive line is Josh Chapman. He joined the Crimson Tide in 2007 but received a medical redshirt, then became Terrence Cody’s backup during the 2008 season, and now he has ended up as a token nose guard within the past two seasons. Head Coach Nick Saban sees Chapman as an asset to the team also.

“[Josh] Chapman is a very good nose guard,” he said. While he has several seasons behind him, it all started in

2007. Chapman started the first three games until his season ended early due to an injury, but that didn’t hinder his ability to attend spring practices in 2008. After spring practices, he was awarded the Ozzie Newsome Most Improved Freshman Award. This was the beginning of Chapman’s journey at The Capstone.

After coming back from an injury, Chapman started the 2008 season as a backup for Terrence Cody while he was out with an injury. As a backup, he ended up seeing playing time in 13 games of the season and totaled 16 tackles, with four of those for loss. His first career start came against the Tennessee Vols, a game in which he totaled a career-high four tackles with three of those being solo.

Chapman started the 2009 season and recorded half a sack against Virginia Tech in the season opener. He also had his season-high number of three tackles with one for loss against the North Texas Mean Green. In the BCS Championship Game against the Texas Longhorns, Chapman made three solo tackles to help the Tide down the Longhorns and bring the champion-ship back to Alabama.

Last season, Chapman saw one of his best campaigns at The

Capstone. He started 12 games and saw action in all 13. He was the Tide’s nose guard, was at the forefront of the 10th nationally-ranked defense, tallied 31 tackles with 3.5 for loss and had one sack. With these accomplishments under his belt, he won the Billy Neighbors Defensive Lineman Award that season.

Chapman’s last season with the Tide is underway and looks to be his best yet. He won the Lee Roy Jordan Headhunter Award this spring and will be a big factor in the Tide’s rush defense. He comments on what it takes to prepare for an unpredictable offense and to be a good defensive powerhouse.

“It is all about going out and doing what we do best, including stopping the run, stopping the pass and being a great third-down team,” he said.

While Chapman has gone from an injury-ridden season to a backup for an All-American player and now to the core-player ranks within the defensive line, he has seen players come and go and now he comments on the strengths this set of players has.

“It [the talent level of the team] has changed,” Chapman commented. “We have a lot of guys that are bigger, faster and stronger. He [Coach Saban] is a great recruiter. We have a lot of talent.”

Chapman has seen five season openers while with the Tide family and saw his last this September.

“It feels like it [his last season opener] took forever for it to get here and now it is here,” Chapman confessed.

While he has played in over 40 career games and notched over 65 tackles in his record book, he looks to improve those numbers this season, his last with the Tide.

Arkansas Football Roster

Section Title Arkansas Opposing Team


It is an age-old football cliche. Offense sells seats; defense wins games. That is what Arkansas is hoping for and they

will look to senior safety Tramain Thomas for help. Thomas is a 6-foot, 198-pound beast who is a nightmare for any offensive player on whom he sets his sights.

Thomas will likely test his skills against all of Alabama’s playmakers. He is adept at breaking up the pass, which could be a problem for Marquis Maze, who has been a surprise weapon for the Tide so far this season. Thomas can then switch gears and protect against the run, where head coach Bobby Petrino will be sure to place him against standout Trent Richardson. And then, just to make sure that the ball doesn’t even

get that far, Thomas is known for gunning for the quarterback and forcing losses or fumbles. This could be a threat for Alabama, who is still toying with the idea of a two-quarterback system that admittedly needs tweaking. Add in a safety that loves to stay in his opponent’s backfield, and it is a sack waiting to happen.

In 2010 Thomas finished his season with four interceptions, 83 tackles, five tackles for loss and four forced fumbles. These all help to make him first among current Razorbacks in forced fumbles and interceptions. If last year was any indicator, it will not be long before he becomes ranked with the entire Razorback program.

In a conference whose bread and butter is the run and a great defense, a quarterback is mostly there to help

move the ball around. They do not have to be great, just good. So Hog fans were not expecting much from their new quarter-back Tyler Wilson, but the junior is doing everything he can to prove that he can hold his own against all of those SEC defensive lines.

Wilson has to follow up the incredible success brought by Ryan Mallet during his time at Arkansas. Mallet was taken in the third round of the draft to the New England Patriots after completing 62 touchdowns and close to 7,500 yards during his time at Arkansas. But so far Wilson seems to be

doing just fine. In his 2011 season opener, Wilson

handled the game like a good leader should and proved that he can throw a football. In that game against Missouri State, Wilson completed 18-of-24 passes for 260 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. He needs to work a little on his rushing, but with his arm, the run is probably not going to be something coach Petrino focuses on.

Let us not forgot about his performance last year against Auburn, who would go on to win the national championship. He completed 25-of-34 passes for 332 yards.

This will definitely be a quarterback to watch out for, as he is getting more and more comfortable in his position.

Practice for Performance


Females playing sports are on the rise. Often you hear the question of how to train the female athlete differently from the male athlete. The answer is that you don’t train

a female any differently than you train a male; you have to prepare their bodies for the demand of any sport they choose to play as you would with all athletes.

This is why strength training should be on the top of the list when training a female athlete. The reason being, it will improve performance. The most important byproduct of strength training is that it will reduce the risk of injury in females. There are no excuses and you have to train hard.

Females are at a higher risk of injury because of their wider hips and narrow knees. Females are built different than males and there is nothing you can do about it other than build a sound program to lower the risk of ACL injuries.

To build a sound program, coaches need to focus on lower body strength with additional focus on single leg strength. The focus should be on single-leg bodyweight progressions before any external load is added. The athlete should also stay away from training on machines. Program in knee dominant [back or front squats] and hip dominant exercises [single leg deadlifts]. Just make sure the focus of the training is on the posterior chain which is glutes, hamstring and lower back. The athlete will now have a sound strength program.

When female athletes step off a box, more than likely their knees buckle. This is why coaches should teach proper landing techniques. Jumps are good to do but are not always appro-priate to do when injury reduction is the goal.

Hopping should be a staple in any good training or ACL injury reduction program. Hopping must be done forward,

laterally and medially. To hop correctly, the athlete should hop on one leg [just like bounding and skipping]. The coach can then progress to more plyometrics once the athletes gets the basics downpath and gets the lower body strength to progress.

The program should also include a change of direction. The coach must teach the athlete to move and change direction properly. Most coaches tell their athletes to run from one cone to the the other, but this could potentially put their athletes at risk. The focus should be to teach the athlete how to crossover or how to push off the foot to create force through the ground. As coaches, we teach our athletes to start and stop correctly when doing any kind of agility drills or change of directions. Doing so will have a carryover to the field or court and play a role in ACL injury reduction. Last but not least is the warm up. This is the first thing the athlete will do in any good program. The warm up should be active. This means the athlete needs to activate one muscle and lengthen the other. To see examples of correct warm ups, visit this website: http://smsmf.org/pep-program/warm-up.

The point is that if the athlete has a good training program; then the athlete has a good ACL-injury prevention program. All these things must be included in the athlete’s program. As coaches, we should always understand functional anatomy and the biomechanics of movement. Always remember to train movement and not muscles.

WESTMississippi State Bulldogs:

While Mississippi State has been the underdogs of the SEC at times, these Bulldogs are looking to give their SEC counterparts a run for their money. Quarter-back Chris Relf has gained experience and is making the field his own.

Ole Miss Rebels:The Ole Miss Rebels started the season off with a

Larry’s Lowdown


Most SEC teams start the season with cupcakes, and it’s usually not until a few of those have been played that teams start their SEC schedules and find out

quickly how they can expect to measure up in the league. Such is certainly the case for the Alabama - Arkansas

contest this weekend. Both schools are well coached and attract good recruits and both are typically in the upper tier of the SEC West. It is the earliest clash of top teams for either school and saying that, I hope, takes nothing away from Penn State who is in rebuilding mode.

This game is indeed not only a test, but a launching point for the winner, not just for the SEC race alone, but in national standings as well. A loss here all but relegates the loser to little chance of a conference title.

Since 2002, Bama has a six games to three advantage, including the last four in a row. The series has been a good

one, with three games that were decided by less than a touchdown.

There have been some thrilling games in the series, including the 2003 game that went into two overtimes before Arkansas finally pulled it out 34-31.

Last season’s 24-20 Alabama win was certainly a close game and shows that Bobby Petrino is closing the gap between the talent he got when he took over the Razorbacks in 2008 and what Nick Saban routinely puts on the field.

If that game was a measuring stick, it showed one of two things, that either Arkansas is quickly becoming a better team or Alabama was suffering a downturn last year. The year before, the Tide trampled the Razorbacks 35-7 and went on to win a national championship.

Bobby Petrino is said to have a better overall team this year than last year, so this year’s game will show whether

Alabama is better or worse than last year’s team. A decisive victory by the Tide could mean they do, in fact,

have a team that could go all the way. A close game would show that they may struggle to finish the season undefeated and a loss would show that this team was full of promise but fell short on heart to get it all together.

A close game by the Hogs could show that they are indeed one of the true top 20 teams in America and, of course, a win by Arkansas could launch them into national title talk.

But a loss by blowout proportions, could seriously ruin morale on the team and drop them out of any consideration for a top bowl later in the year.

Not only is this a good game to measure athletic ability and personnel in helmets, it’s also a game that puts against each other what many consider to be the two sharpest minds on the sidelines of the SEC, Coach Saban and Coach Petrino themselves.

There’s an old saying that goes, “You never what you’ve got ‘till you start your SEC schedule.” and it has never been more true.

“This game is indeed not only a test, but a launching point for

the winner...”

WESTLSU Tigers:

The Tigers are on the Tide’s radar this season, as they are most seasons. Preseason hype surrounded the Tigers to be a key competitor for Alabama in the SEC West, but the Tigers have started the season on a good note. With the loss of a quarterback before the season started, the Tigers look to prove themselves.

Alabama Crimson Tide:The Crimson Tide looks to keep the national

championship game within reach. Starting the season off with non-SEC competitors, the Tide opens SEC play this week against the Razorbacks of Arkansas. Head Coach Nick Saban is trying out a new two-quarterback system with A.J. McCarron and Phillip Sims. While the Tide looks to win the West, the Razorbacks will provide a tough fight this weekend.

has slowly but surely made a name for himself in the Powder Springs, Ga., area. The high school he attends, Hillgrove, was built in 2006 and is just getting around to estab-lishing itself as a competi-tive program. Drake committed to Alabama on Feb. 14 and wanted to get the recruiting out of the way. He attended a junior camp on campus a month before and was offered a scholarship after the camp. Drake says it’s ridiculous when these prospects go

on TV and pump themselves up, because when they get to their school, they’re just another freshman.

Drake doesn’t like the huge spotlight and national atten-tion. Once he felt comfortable with the school he had chosen, that’s who he was going to commit to. When Georgia assis-tant Stacey Searels left the program to join Texas, it was hard for him to connect to Georgia and saw himself as a better fit at Alabama.

“When he left it kind of left a void,” Drake told The

Birmingham News. “I had only talked to them once through this whole experience, and that was on signing day. I went to Alabama and everything there was over-whelming for me. I thought this was the place I could see myself being at for the next four or five years. That’s the ultimate decision you have to make, being a student-

Kenyan Drake looks to keep the running back tradition alive at Alabama

athlete at this school.”

The 6-foot-1, 195-pound athlete boasts a 3.5 GPA and knows what it takes to be a student-athlete. In his first game this season, Drake helped lead Hillgrove to a 41-21 victory over Sprayberry carrying the ball seven times for 166 yards and two touchdowns. In his second game, he showed up again, wowing the home crowd and scoring five touchdowns including a 93-yard kickoff return. He carried the ball five times for 33 yards and caught four passes for 155 yards and three touchdowns as Hillgrove dominated Marietta 48-8.

As far as what position Drake ends up playing at Alabama, Drake says it is possible for him to play running back, but it all depends on how he develops at the next level. Drake also said the coaching staff told him that really good players can play at any posi-tion. He says, however, he wants to be a great player.

Rivals lists Drake as the 18th best athlete in the state of Georgia and 18th best prospect in the state. As far as his commitment to Alabama, Drake says he is as solid as ever.

“I stand by the word ‘commitment,’” Drake told the Atlanta Journal Constitution. “I actually talked to Coach Saban about that tonight and he gave me the P’s and Q’s of the word commitment, especially

this early. I totally understand where he was coming from. He talked about how some other schools might still recruit me. But once I commit somewhere I stand behind it. That’s just how I was raised and what I believe in. I feel like my commit is a solid one.”

Interview


&Q’sQ’s A’sA’s

David Casteal has done a little bit of everything. Now a teacher in Spokane, Wash., he traveled the world

growing up in a military family, did some acting on Broadway, studied in West Africa and holds a PhD in ethnomusicology. He also played a little football. After high school in Niceville, Fla., Casteal was recruited as a running back for Alabama and played four seasons under Ray Perkins and Bill Curry. After graduating from the University of Alabama, Casteal was not about to rest upon the laurels of his sports notoriety.

TDA (Touchdown Alabama Magazine): Does your record, 15 carries for 227 yards in one quarter of football, still stand today at Niceville High School?

DC (David Casteal): As far as I know. However I know there have been some extremely talented running backs at my high school since I attended. Actually, there is a long line of players from my high school, Niceville High, that have played for the Tide.

TDA: What were Ray Perkins’ and Bill Curry’s strengths as head coach?

DC: Coach Perkins was a tough and a focused leader. Coach Curry’s strength was his ability to relate well with players and to keep young men motivated. He spoke vividly about life beyond football.

TDA: What are some of Bill Curry’s attributes in building a successful program at Georgia State?

DC: I think Georgia State football will find quick success on the shoulders of Coach Curry. He has a deep desire to win. I still remember his five characteristics of a champion: 1. Singleness of purpose. 2. Unselfish. 3. Tough. 4. Smart. 5. Never quit. I have used them in many aspects of my life.

TDA: Can you remember the hardest hit you ever took as a running back?

DC: Once in practice I was smacked by Woody Wilson. It was on a counter play. Woody was an undersized linebacker, but a vicious hitter. I also got my bell rung in the Sun Bowl. I didn’t know where I was for three plays. I remember in the huddle asking Wayne Shaw where I was and he replied, “Oh don’t worry about it, just run left, because you’re getting the ball.”

TDA: Who was the funniest guy on your Alabama football team, and why?

DC: Maybe Phillip Brown. He could ease the tension with his witty remarks and impressions of some of our coaches.

TDA: What was the “Kick-Off Classic” like when you all went to New York City and played Ohio State?

DC: It was a thrill. I only played on special teams, but the environment was electric. To prepare for the game we had three-a-day practices. We practiced something like 21 times in one week! We ate at the Windows of the World restaurant at the top of the World Trade Center.

TDA: Were there any unwritten rules for freshmen on the football team when you played?

DC: The upperclassman ate first, period. I remember as a freshman, we had to put on a talent show for the team. I did magic. Doug Allen sang. I got booed and Ricky Moore asked if I could make myself disappear.

TDA: You’re a teacher now. When you were a student, did a teacher ever reprimand you? In hindsight, did it give you a lifelong lesson down the road?

DC: Bill Wilson taught me a lesson that I have never forgotten: luck is when preparation meets opportunity. So work to be lucky.

TDA: Education is a big part of your life. Was that instilled in you at a young age?

DC: When I was young I lived in Spain. When my family returned to the U.S. I was fluent in Spanish and struggled in English and reading. I was teased relent-lessly. That motivated me to forever respect education and lead me to a love of literature. I read like a wolf eats!

TDA: Who has had the most influence in your life, outside your family?

DC: Easy, my junior high football coach Bill Wilson. He taught me so much about being a man of honor and dignity. It’s funny because I love him now for the things I hated him for then.

TDA: What was it like to perform on Broadway? DC: Sublime. It was a one-man show called “York.” It

was based on the life of York, a member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. I had to memorize 46 pages of text. NYC was a tough crowd. But hey, I had to block Derrick Thomas in practice every day. Broadway…piece of cake.

TDA: Childhood obesity in America is at an epidemic level. How do you think the parents should be addressing that issue right now with their children?

DC: Parents need to engage their children in exer-cise every day for 45-60 minutes. Think about it. There are 1440 minutes in a day. Find some time to run and play. Also, families must make healthy choices regarding nutrition. I always thought it would be interesting to replace the term “fast food” with “fast fat.”

TDA: When did you realize you wanted to attain a doctorate degree, and why?

DC: As soon as I learned what a doctorate degree

was, I knew it was something I wanted to do. While traveling around the world I found myself in Ghana. The drumming there was surreal and mythic. After two months there I realized I wanted to study ethnomusicology from a West African rhythmic perspective. Consequently, I have traveled to Africa thirteen times to do field work. Drumming in Africa is such an organic experience. The continent is truly the birthplace of rhythm. I was excited to add to its body of research.

TDA: What obstacles did you run into on the way and how did you overcome them?

DC: Obstacles. Well, I contracted malaria. [It’s like the flu on steroids]. I was jailed in Uganda for taking photos. [I paid a bribe of $7 and my Leatherman knife to get out]. At Mali the mosquitoes in the village were so bad that I trapped two bats and put them in my mud hut so I could sleep. My statistics class, enough said. Bathing in the River Niger is dangerous. Never argue with the tall customs officer in Guinea, it can prove to be expensive.

TDA: What’s on your bucket list? DC: Reunion with my Alabama freshman class. Ride

a motorcycle across India. Become fluent in Italian. Learn to draw [really well]. Live on the beach. Become an excellent swing dancer. Compete in a triathlon. Visit Antarctica. Be the first black James Bond. Have my own photography show.

TDA: Do you think Alabama will have a harder time this year than last going towards the SEC Championship game?

DC: It’s Alabama - the best football program on the planet! Every season is a challenge. The mantra in college football has yet to change: Want to make a name for yourself? Beat Alabama.

by the history of his football teams, Head Coach Nick Saban’s recruiting efforts are more easily sold on defense than offense.

Alabama’s football team is not like that of Oklahoma, which averages 500 yards a game while throwing the football all over the field. The Crimson Tide, renowned for its defense, is more of a power football team. An examination of the Alabama linebacking corps reveals a string of star names, such as Trey DePriest, Jerrell Harris, Dont’a Hightower, Nico

Johnson, C.J. Mosley and Courtney Upshaw. Therefore it is much easier to understand how Coach Saban keeps

would rather put weight on and play linebacker or stay where he is and play safety. Hayes replied with this.

“Whatever they need me to play, I’m not going to ask any questions,” he said. “I just want to get up there and play. I mean I would like to play safety because it would be something new. I think I would be a good coverage guy. Whichever one comes first, I guess I’ll be playing.” Hayes compares his playing style to C.J. Mosley.

Ryan Anderson is the most underrated linebacker in the Class of 2012. At 6-foot-3-inches and 250 pounds, Anderson, who plays for Daphne, has the ability to play jack linebacker in the future. In fact, the Tide’s staff is extremely high on Anderson because of the intangibles he brings: great awareness, strength, size and speed. Anderson committed to the Tide in April and has not wavered since then, in spite of the fact that other teams are still going after him. Out of all the line backers in this class, Anderson seems to fit the jack mold better than any of the others. This is the position that Courtney

recruiting at the highest level of any team in the BCS at the linebacker position. The following is an assessment of the Crimson Tide’s outstanding 2012 linebacker class.

Tyler Hayes recently shot up the recruiting rankings to the No.13 outside linebacker in the country. At 6-foot-3-inches and 215 pounds, Hayes is a great in-state pull from Thomasville, Ala. Hayes is extremely fast and, depending on how much his weight fluctuates with his speed, he could actually end up at the strong safety posi-tion. For now, however, he is a linebacker. Hayes is a hard hitter who uses his speed to get into the backfield to create mayhem for the quarterbacks and the running backs. Recently awarded four stars for his exceptional performances on field so far, Hayes looks to get even better as the season progresses. In a question and answer segment with Tidesports.com, Hayes was asked if he

By: Mike Parker


Upshaw currently holds. Jack linebacker, one of the key positions to Coach Saban’s defense, relies on the players being tough, physical, fast and most importantly being able to get into the backfield to disrupt plays. Anderson fits that mold perfectly.

Alabama reached once again into the heart of the Peach State to pull out Buford, Ga., linebacker Dillon Lee, who committed to the Tide over Georgia and Florida State. Lee, a four star, is ranked the 5th outside linebacker in the country. He was offered by all of the top teams, including Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Ohio State and USC. Yet he chose to roll with the Tide. He is one of the quickest linebackers in the class of 2012 and even though he is currently about 220 pounds, he has the perfect frame to add more weight. Kirby Smart, who started as safety for the Georgia Bull Dogs in his own playing career, is the Bama recruiter who landed Lee for the Tide, in spite of the fact that Lee’s brother attended Georgia. Because Lee is one of the best in the Class of 2012, other teams will continue to pursue him until signing day. For now, Lee says he is 100 percent Alabama. He is a huge recruiting addition to Bama’s Class of 2012.

Reggie Ragland, an inside linebacker from Madison, Ala., is a four star recruit and is ranked the No.2 inside linebacker in the country. Alabama is always searching for their future inside linebacker, that is, the one who can lead the defense and call the plays like Rolando McClain did and this year, his succesor, Dont’a Hightower.

“The one thing I like about getting to play linebacker is getting to hit people and you are the leader of the defense,” Ragland said. “You set the tone for everybody else to show out and do what they have to do on the field. That’s why I love playing linebacker.”

Ragland relishes pres-sure and leadership roles. His commit-ment to the University of Alabama has not stopped other schools from recruiting him. Florida Head Coach

Will Muschamp is still avidly recruiting him. However, Ragland remains solid with Alabama. Much like his predecessors, he does play a lot like McClain and Hightower. He has good speed and technique but most importantly he controls the defense. This is exactly what Coach Saban wants him to do in the future for the Crimson Tide.

This is the best linebacking corps in the country and probably Coach Saban’s most talented yet. Look for the Tide to continue to recruit linebackers, even though it already has secured an exceptional class for 2012.

The Gators Look To Chomp The Tide

He may have had to live in the shadow of the one of the greatest college players of all time

for a few years, but Florida’s quarterback, John Brantley, is starting to make the Florida offense his own down in the swamp. After a somewhat dismal season last year, Brantley is coming into his senior year with more experience and a new offensive coordinator in Charlie Weis.

He finished the 2010 season completing 200 of 329 passes for 2,061 yards and more intercep-tions than touchdowns. His numbers for 2011 are looking better, as he has a 70 percent completion rate thus far. This 6-foot-3, 219-pound senior from Ocala, Fla., played his season opener seemingly well despite reports that he has been experiencing back soreness. In that season opener he was able to lead his team to an

impressive 41-3 win over Florida Atlantic. The last time Brantley faced the Tide, he

threw two interceptions and no touchdowns. Although his yardage surpassed Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy’s that night, it did not matter, as the rushing yards more than doubled Florida’s and helped Alabama win 31-6, with Florida’s only points coming from two field goals.

Some of the most epic games in college football, the past few years, have come from the Gators and the Tide matchups. Most of that is thanks to back-to-back Heisman winners Tim Tebow and Mark Ingram. Now that they are both gone, Brantley is looking to make his mark as a leader and quarterback on this classic SEC rivalry.

One of the scariest things for a defense to face is a versatile player. And that is exactly what

the Crimson Tide defensive line will be up against in Florida’s Jeff Demps. This 5-foot-7, 191-pound senior from Winter Garden, Fla., is able to help out Florida’s offense in both rushing and receiving. As an athlete who has been key to Florida since his first year, Demps is one to watch for in every game.

This explosive and fast athlete can do pretty much anything for which an offensive coordi-nator could ask of a player. Part of this is due to the fact that he is also a sprinter for track and field. With this being Charlie Weis’s first year at the Swamp, having a player like Demps is a blessing.

When speaking of Demps and Chris Rainey, head coach Will Muschamp said, “They are very special with the ball in their hands.”

In 2010, Demps rushed for 551 yards, three touchdowns and a long rush of 72 yards. But do not forget he is a receiver also and in that position, he made 18 receptions for 116 yards last season. In his first game of 2011, Demps had two touchdown runs of 20 and 35 yards. With Florida using a limited playbook, Demps was crucial to making it all work.

Demps will not disappoint as the season continues. The Tide secondary will be put to a serious test as they defend against him, helping to continue the great tradition of Alabama versus Florida.

against the Georgia Bulldogs and defeated them in a close call. Late in the fourth quarter the Gamecocks came away with the victory. The Gamecocks’ Melvin Ingram snagged top defensive honors during this game also. The Gamecocks’ next competitor will be the Vanderbilt Commodores.

EASTTennessee Volunteers:

The Volunteers’ quarterback Tyler Bray has been successful at the beginning of the season. He tallied a career-best day during the Cincin-nati matchup. He finished the game with 34-of-41 passes and connected for four touchdowns for over 405 yards. The Vols’ next competitor will be Buffalo after a week off.

At A Glance


Out With the Old,IN WITH THE NEW

A new era in Gator country has begun. The faces of Urban Myer and Tim Tebow are in the rear-view mirror, and the Gators are looking to rebuild and fast.

After a disappointing 8-5 record in 2010, the first true test for the Gators’ new regime will be the Crimson Tide. Throughout the preseason, Florida was the most difficult team to predict in the SEC. The mystery starts with first time Head Coach Will Muschamp, but it certainly does not end there.

Head Coach: Will Muschamp While this is his first year as a head coach, Muschamp

brings 16 years of coaching experience and was named the coach-in-waiting at Texas before he took the Florida job. He was also Coach Saban’s defensive coordinator at LSU from 2002 to 2004, and has eight years of SEC coaching experience. Muschamp is a defensive-minded coach, which is essential to long-term success in the SEC.

Offensive Coordinator: Charlie Weis Most football fans know Weis from his New England Patriot

success as the play caller for Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. Weis is a 32 year veteran of coaching, including four Super Bowl championships. In 2010, Weis was the offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs, who won the AFC West title reaching 10 wins for the first time in five years. Weis is not only known for his play calling success, but his development of quarterbacks.

For the first time since 2000 at Hofstra, Quinn is running the defensive show. He has spent 10 years in the NFL as a defensive line coach. In 2010, Quinn helped the Seahawks reach the playoffs and defeat the defending Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints.

With all of these new coaches comes a huge philosophical change in offensive and defensive strategy. Only time will tell what type of offense and defense these Florida coaches will call their own, but there are a few obvious changes.

First, Muschamp and Quinn bring a 3-4 base defense to the Swamp. This is the same base defense as the Crimson Tide, and is a change from the traditional 4-3 to which Gator fans have become accustomed. For those who do not know, “3-4” means three down linemen and four linebackers. This style of defense allows for a hybrid lineman/linebacker the Gators call the Buck. Many Gator fans believe this position will allow Ronald Powell [So.] to reach his full potential. The weakness of the Florida defense will not be the new scheme, but rather the lack of experience. For the first time in Gator history, a true freshman will be starting at safety. De’Ante Saunders was an Army All-American in 2010, but fans will see how he matches up against the offenses of the SEC.

To accompany Saunders, six of the remaining starters are sophomores.

The most noticeable change for the Gators will be on the offensive side of the ball. The spread-option left with Urban Myer. Charlie Weiss brings a pro-style offense to the Swamp, which will benefit the current playmakers more than the spread of 2010. “Pro-style” is a broad term. In general, a pro-style offense uses the short passing game to open a running game. Coming off a nine touchdown, 10-interception season in 2010, many may be surprised at Jeff Brantley’s success in the Weis offense. The most important factor in a pro-style offense is quick decision making from the quarterback. Most of the passing game is a three-to five-step drop, with only a few reads. The Gators will need to get Chris Rainey [Sr.] and Jeff Demps [Sr.] a lot of touches if they want to compete with Alabama.

The Florida-Alabama game has always been an exciting one, especially with recent national title implications. This year’s meeting in the Swamp has a completely different meaning for both teams. The Crimson Tide are looking for a huge road win en route to an SEC and hopefully National Championship. For the Gators, the Alabama game is a way to measure the program. Look for the Swamp to be electric when the Tide visits.

“Throughout the preseason, Florida was the most difficult team to predict in

the SEC. The mystery starts with...”

THEAROUND

Florida Gators:The Gators are well

underway with new Head Coach Will Muschamp. They have won their first two games and invite the Tide to The Swamp next week. Look for quarterback John Brantley to connect with Chris Rainey throughout the game. Florida has started the season off on a good note, but can they keep it up against the Tide next week?

Georgia Bulldogs:The Georgia Bulldogs have

started the season off slow. With losses in their first two games; this looks to be a long and wild road the Bulldogs are taking. They opened SEC play against the Gamecocks and lost with a close score of 45-42. Although Head Coach Mark Richt is undergoing some criticism for his team’s perfor-mance, he looks to brighten the season up against the Ole Miss Rebels this week.

GATOR ROSTER

ON THE COVER: Robert Lester #37 Dequan Menzie #24

This defensive duo gives opponents a run for their money. Lester, a senior defensive back for the Tide has made appearances in over 23 games. He started every game last season at the safety position. He was selected as second-team All-SeC choice and a Walter Camp second-team All-American. He has 60-career tackles, 29 being solo, and is ranked sixth on the team. He has the SeC-best eight interceptions. Junior defensive back, Menzie, came onto the scene last season where he made appearances in 12 games with seven of those as a starter in the defensive back-field. He was an asset of the secondary last season and has 31 tackles, three for loss, and four pass breakups. He snagged the Bobby Johns Defensive Back Award earlier this spring. Menzie joined the Tide last season as a JuCO recruit and looks to continue making a name for himself this season alongside Lester and the rest of the defensive side of the Tide.
