  • The Following Players Comprise the College Football Great Teams 2 Card Set
    COLLEGE FOOTBALL GREAT TEAMS OF THE PAST 2 SET ROSTER The following players comprise the College Football Great Teams 2 Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards. 1971 NEBRASKA 1971 NEBRASKA 1972 USC 1972 USC OFFENSE DEFENSE OFFENSE DEFENSE EB: Woody Cox End: John Adkins EB: Lynn Swann TA End: James Sims Johnny Rodgers (2) TA TB, OA Willie Harper Edesel Garrison Dale Mitchell Frosty Anderson Steve Manstedt John McKay Ed Powell Glen Garson TC John Hyland Dave Boulware (2) PA, KB, KOB Tackle: John Grant Tackle: Carl Johnson Tackle: Bill Janssen Chris Chaney Jeff Winans Daryl White Larry Jacobson Tackle: Steve Riley John Skiles Marvin Crenshaw John Dutton Pete Adams Glenn Byrd Al Austin LB: Jim Branch Cliff Culbreath LB: Richard Wood Guard: Keith Wortman Rich Glover Guard: Mike Ryan Monte Doris Dick Rupert Bob Terrio Allan Graf Charles Anthony Mike Beran Bruce Hauge Allan Gallaher Glen Henderson Bruce Weber Monte Johnson Booker Brown George Follett Center: Doug Dumler Pat Morell Don Morrison Ray Rodriguez John Kinsel John Peterson Mike McGirr Jim Stone ET: Jerry List CB: Jim Anderson TC Center: Dave Brown Tom Bohlinger Brent Longwell PC Joe Blahak Marty Patton CB: Charles Hinton TB.

    Know your college football? Discover Enter the GameDay famous Pick ‘em Challenge at former UA gameday.ua.edu. 8 students Friday, September 10, 2010 Serving the University of Alabama since 1894 Vol. 117, Issue 24 A storied rivalry comes back to life By Britton Lynn Senior Sports Reporter [email protected] When Alabama fans think of the Crimson Tide’s greatest rivalries, most often they think of the in-state one, Auburn. There’s another rivalry, however, that many students have never seen in their lifetimes: the Penn State series. The series hasn’t had a game since 1990, when Joe Paterno’s Nittany Lions beat Gene Stallings’ Tide 9-3. “It’s a game that I’ve had circled on my calendar for the past four or five years,” said senior quarterback Greg McElroy. “It’s a game you tell recruits about and it’s a game that I was aware of when I first got on cam- pus. It’s obviously one of those games; it’s kind of a showcase game. We always kept saying, ‘I hope Coach Paterno’s still coaching. It would be great to compete against him.’” Penn State does know how to win, espe- cially in Tuscaloosa, where they have a 2-1 edge over the Tide. Despite the Nittany Lions’ better record at Bryant-Denny Stadium, Alabama leads the overall series 8-5. Although both teams’ players haven’t been See PENN STATE, page 9 Bryant Museum Right: Members of the Alabama defense, including Murray Legg (19), Curtis McGriff (96), Barry Krauss (77) and Rich Wingo (36), held Penn State in the famous goal line stand in the 1979 Sugar Bowl, giving head coach Paul "Bear" Bryant his sixth national championship with the 14-7 win.
