2010 PREVIEW 6 The Alabama Crimson Tide returns 10 starters and 39 lettermen for the 2010 season with 26 lettermen and eight starters on offense, 15 lettermen and two starters on defense while needing to replace all of the specialists. Headlining the returning starters for the Crimson Tide is 2009 Heisman Trophy-winning running back and unanimous first-team All-American Mark Ingram. The Tide offense also returns undefeated starting quarterback Greg McElroy, preseason Playboy All-American and three starting offensive linemen. The defense will feature 2008 Freshman All-American Dont’a High- tower, who returns after missing the final 10 games of 2009 with a knee injury, and third-team Associated Press All-American safety . Alabama is also armed with one of the nation’s top freshman classes, a group that - combined with the returning roster - gives the Crimson Tide a potent squad that could be primed for a run at another Southeastern Conference title. The 2010 schedule is one of the toughest in the nation and will provide Alabama fans with some of the most exciting games in college football. A traditional rivalry is renewed with Penn State visiting Tuscaloosa on September 11 while the Tide will also travel to Duke for a non-conference clash. A dangerous visit to Arkansas opens the SEC slate on Sept. 25 before Ala- bama returns home for another clash with the in the first week of October. After SEC games at South Carolina and a visit from Mississippi, the Crimson Tide travels to Knoxville for the annual “Third Saturday in October” showdown with Tennessee. A trip to the Bayou is next as the Tide and LSU battle for what could be SEC Western Division supremacy. Missis- sippi State and Georgia State are next with the scheduled for November 26 at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

FOOTBALL 7 2010 PREVIEW

Greg McElroy led Alabama to a 14-0 record and the school’s 13th national championship in his first year under center for the Crimson Tide. He is 30-0 as a starting quarterback dating back to middle school.

8 ALABAMA Alabama could feature one of the most dangerous and well-balanced offenses in school history in 2010. The Crimson Tide only needs to replace three starters from a 2009 unit that featured two All-Americans and the Heisman Trophy winner. Ingram returns to head the Crimson Tide attack along with McElroy, Jones and sophomore running back . All McElroy did in his first year as the starting quarterback was lead the Crimson Tide to a national championship; throwing for 2,508 yards with 17 with only four . Ingram rushed for a school record 1,658 yards with 20 total touchdowns as he etched his name into Alabama lore. Alabama must replace All-American left guard Mike Johnson, and right tackle Drew Davis, but a slew of talented players are battling to step into those roles. Senior left tackle James Carpenter, junior center and sophomore guard return to anchor the offensive line and all three are good enough to be in the discussion for the Outland Trophy. The likes of John Michael Boswell, D.J. Fluker, Tyler Love, Alfred McCullough, David Ross, and several others are battling for the two open jobs along the line. All three starting wide receivers also re- turn with Julio Jones, and forming a potent combination on the outside. Jones led all Tide receivers for the second straight year in 2009, catching 43 passes for 596 yards and four touchdowns after grabbing 58 for 924 yards in 2008. Both Carpenter and Julio Jones were second-team All-SEC selections a year ago while Barrett Jones was a Freshman All-American. Sophomore Michael Williams returns at tight end after starting 10 games and catching three passes as a redshirt freshman in 2009. Joining Williams is a trio of talented and experienced tight ends, including Preston Dial, and Chris Underwood.

FOOTBALL 9 Dont’a Hightower returns to the field in 2010 to lead the Crim- son Tide defense after missing the final 10 games of 2009 with an injury to his left knee. 2010 PREVIEW

10 ALABAMA The Crimson Tide defense anchored Alabama’s run to the 2009 national championship, but the familiar names are gone and the 2010 defense must forge its own identity. The Tide defense, led by defensive coordinator Kirby Smart, returns just two starters from a unit that finished second nationally in total defense, scoring defense, rush defense, pass efficiency defense and was 10th in pass defense. The lone returnees are third-team All-American safety Mark Barron and the combination of Dont’a Hightower and at middle linebacker. Hightower started 12 games in 2008 and the first eight games of 2010 before a knee injury derailed his season. UA must replace All-Americans Javier Arenas, and Rolando McClain along with NFL first-round draft pick . But heavy losses for the Tide’s defense may not spell doom for Alabama in 2010 with a bevy of young and talented players waiting in the wings to step into starting roles. Leading that charge is junior defensive line- man , who produced a dominant performance in the Citi BCS National Championship Game win over Texas. Dareus should anchor the Tide’s front line with nose guard and Kerry Murphy manning the middle and Luther Davis and at the defensive end spot opposite Dareus. Young players like Brandon Lewis, Darrington Sentimore and Brandon Moore will also be counted on to preserve Alabama’s dominant front line in 2010. Hightower and Johnson return with starting experience in the linebacker corps, but expect the likes of , Chris Jordan and to play a major role this season. Barron spearheads the Crimson Tide efforts in a secondary that must be rebuilt if UA is going to sustain its success. Youngsters like , B.J. Scott and Phelon Jones could be ask to step into starting roles at cornerback while Rod Woodson, walk-on Will Lowery and others battle it out for the open job at safety. True freshman DeMarcus Milliner and John Fulton joined Alabama for spring practice and could play key roles in their first collegiate season.

FOOTBALL 11 2010 PREVIEW

Julio Jones and a returning cast must replace All-America return specialist Javier Arenas, who was a mainstay returning kicks and punts during his career. Jones averaged 15 yards per punt return last season and has a 12.3 yards per return average in his career.

12 ALABAMA The all-important special teams units from last season must be completely overhauled with the loss of record-setting , four-year starting P.J. Fitzgerald and long snapper Brian Selman. UA must also replace the SEC’s all-time leading punt returner and kickoff return man, Javier Arenas. The punt return duties appear to be in good hands with Julio Jones, who returned five punts last season and has the most extensive experience. Behind him the Crimson Tide has numerous options, including players like Marquis Maze, B.J. Scott, Mark Ingram, DeMarcus Milliner and several others. Kickoff returns also appears to be in good shape with several players with the explosiveness and athletic ability to shine in the role. The prime candidates should be Jones, Ingram and Trent Richardson. All three have had some experience returning kicks over the past two seasons. The long snapping duties also appear to be in good hands with sophomore stepping into that role. Alabama has two options at placekicker and could possibly employ both this season. True freshman joined the Tide in January and had the opportunity to adjust to college football during spring practice. He possesses a strong leg and excels at longer kicks. The other option is sophomore , the only returning player with experience at the position. He made one extra point for the Tide last season and is accurate on shorter kicks. Walk-on Zach Goehler handled punting duties during spring practice and true freshman Jay Williams enters the fall looking to challenge for playing time.

LSU produced 84 Academic All- SEC honorees in Saban’s five seasons, including 25 members of the 2003 national championship squad. LSU’s graduation rate for football players improved dramatically under his watch and two players, offensive tackle Rodney Reed (2002 and 2003) and offensive lineman Rudy Niswanger (2004) earned first-team Academic All-America honors. Linebacker Bradie James earned a postgraduate scholarship from the National Football Foundation in 2003.

Saban also spearheaded a $15 million fundraising effort to fund a new academic center for student-athletes at LSU, and he and his players were active in community involvement in the Baton Rouge area, taking part in community service projects, visiting schools to mentor children and taking time to visit local hospitals on a regular basis. More than 50 of Saban’s LSU players earned their college degrees, in addition to 28 who were selected in the NFL draft, including seven in both 2004 and 2006.

FOOTBALL 83 Burton Burns begins his fourth spring with the Crimson Tide football program as associate head coach and running backs coach. In the BCS National Championship Game against Texas, Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson both rushed for 100+ yards to help lead Alabama to the school’s 13th title. The New Orleans native is regarded as one of the best coaches in college football and was named the FootballScoop Running Backs Coach of the Year following the 2008 season. In the last two seasons, Alabama’s starting tailbacks Mark Ingram and have turned in two of the top single-season performances in school history. under Burns’ guidance last season, Ingram was awarded Alabama’s first Heisman Trophy and earned unanimous All-America honors. Ingram set the school’s single-season rushing record with 1,658 yards and 17 touchdowns while adding 32 receptions for 334 yards and three more scores. Richardson, a true freshman, was the team’s second-leading rusher (642 yards, 6 TD) and was named a freshman All-SEC selec- tion. The Tide also got some valuable production in 2009, especially on third downs, from senior Roy Upchurch. Upchurch earned an invite to the prestigious at the conclusion of the season. alabama ended the regular season 12th nationally with an average of 215.1 rushing yards per game. Burns also developed one of the nation’s strongest running games in 2008 as Alabama finished third in theSEC and 30th nationally with an average of 184.6 rushing yards per game. Coffee, a first-teamA ll-SEC selection and third round draft pick of the San Francisco 49ers, led the way with 1,383 yards on the ground. That single-season total tied for second in school history and was third in the conference.

84 ALABAMA curt Cignetti joined the Crimson Tide football coaching staff in February of 2007 as receivers coach and recruiting coordinator. The last three signing classes have been listed by most major recruiting analysts among the top five in the country and that young talent helped propel Alabama to the school’s 13th National Championship last season. At wide receiver this spring, Cignetti will have a more experienced group of receivers as the top three statistically return in Julio Jones, Marquis Maze and Darius Hanks. alabama looked for more diversity in the passing game in 2009 and the Crimson Tide receivers answered that challenge. Julio Jones again led the team in all three receiving categories (43 catches, 596 yards, 4 TD) but the team benefitted greatly as Maze and Hanks emerged as reliable targets and deep threats throughout the season. Maze joined Jones with 500+ receiving yards and finished second on the team in that category. Maze also led the team with five catches for 96 yards in the SEC Championship Game against Florida. in his second year at the Capstone, Cignetti coached Jones as he established school freshman records for receiving yards (924) and recep- tions (58). Jones was recognized as the Columbus (Ohio) Touchdown Club National Freshman of the Year, the AP Freshman of the Year in the SEC and also earned Freshman All-America honors.

FOOTBALL 85 Bo Davis begins his fourth season with the Crimson Tide football staff this spring as defensive line coach. Davis joined theA labama staff after serving the 2006 season as an assistant defensive line coach and assistant strength and conditioning coach with the Miami Dolphins under Nick Saban. The spring will be important for Davis and the defensive line as he must replace all three starters from last year’s Na- tional Championship team. Davis’ 2009 defensive line was again the key in setting the tone for an Alabama defense that ranked second nationally and led the SEC in four major categories - rush defense (78.1 ypg), pass efficiency defense (87.7), total defense (244.1) and scoring defense (11.7 ppg). Senior nose gaurd Terrence Cody earned consensus All-America honors for the second straight season and was a finalist for theL ombardi, Nagurski and Bednarik Awards. Seniors Lorenzo Washington and Brandon Deaderick anchored the defensive end positions while sopho- more Marcell Dareus emerged as a pass-rusher and led the team with 6.5 sacks. Dareus had a breakout game against Texas in the National Championship as he earned defensive MVP honors. The Alabama defensive line saw great improvement in 2008, which helped the Crimson Tide develop into one of the top defensive units overall nationally. Davis added Cody to the starting lineup at nose guard and the junior was named an All-American in his first season. Alabama ranked second nationally in terms of rush defense, allowing just 74.1 yards per game on the ground. UA also ranked among the top seven in the country in total defense (263.5 ypg) and scoring defense (14.3 ppg). under Davis’ watch in 2007, senior defensive end Wallace Gilberry put together one of the finest seasons in Alabama history.

86 ALABAMA Jim McElwain was named Alabama’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach by head coach Nick Saban on January 30, 2008, and his balanced offensive attack helped theC rimson Tide to a 12-2 mark in year one and a 14-0 mark in 2009, which featured a unit that totaled more yards from scrimmage than any offense in Alabama history (5,642). In the 37-21 victory over Texas in the BCS National Championship Game in 2009, McElwain utilized tailbacks Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson against the Longhorns as both rushed for 100+ yards and scored two touchdowns apiece in the Rose Bowl. Ingram was named the game’s MVP on the offensive side of the ball. Balance was again the key for the Crimson Tide in 2009 as the Tide utilized Heisman Trophy winning Ingram in both the run and pass game, including plenty of work from the “wildcat” formation. Alabama ranked 12th nationally in rushing yards per game (215.1) and 22nd in the country in scoring (32.1 ppg). First-year starting quarterback Greg McElroy was fourth in the SEC and 28th in the country in pass efficiency (140.6). McElroy, the MVP of the SEC Championship Game against Florida, boasted an impressive touchdown to interception ratio of 17-4 in the 2009 season. mcElwain’s 2008 offense proved to be one of the nation’s most efficient and productive units.A labama finished fifth in theSEC in scoring offense (30.1 ppg) and 35th nationally after ranking 64th (7th in the SEC) in that category in 2007 with an average of 27.1 ppg.

Wilson signed a free agent contract with the and earned a roster spot in 2009. mcElwain spent the 2006 season in the NFL as quarterbacks coach for the Oakland Raiders and served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Fresno State in 2007. He made an immediate impact, helping lead the Bulldogs to a 9-4 record. The Fresno State offense underM cElwain averaged 419.5 yards per game (38th nationally) and 32.9 points per game (32nd) in 2007. That was a significant increase from the 2006 campaign when the Bulldogs averaged 338.2 yards per game in total offense and 23.0 points per game in terms of scoring offense.A fter Fresno State rolled up 571 yards of total offense and defeated Georgia Tech 40-28 in theH umanitarian Bowl, McElwain moved up to No. 18 in the Rivals.com national power rankings (offensive coaches).H is quarterback, Tom Brandstater, finished 2007 with a passing efficiency rating of 140.5, which ranked 23rd in the country. Brandstater showed remarkable improvement under McEl- wain’s watch as he had posted a pass efficiency rating of 106.7 (89th) the previous year. mcElwain served as the assistant head coach, receivers coach and special teams coach at Michigan State from 2003-05. The 2003 team reached the Alamo Bowl behind a receiving corps that set school records for receptions (312) and yards (3,510).

FOOTBALL 87 a veteran coach with impressive credentials from the pro and college ranks, Joe Pendry begins his fourth year at Alabama serving as as- sistant head coach and offensive line coach. Pendry’s offensive lines atA labama are credited with being among the nation’s best year in and year out. That success is a credit to Pendry as his formula for creating a unit based on toughness, unmatched preparation and an outstanding knowledge of the game gives the Crimson Tide the edge against opposing defenses at the line of scrimmage. losing three starters, including All-Americans Andre Smith and Antoine Caldwell, seemed to be the biggest question mark for Alabama entering the 2009 season. Pendry took that challenge and put together a starting five that not only helped clear the way for a Heisman Trophy winning tailback in Mark Ingram, but also provided outstanding protection for first-year quarterback Greg McElroy. Left guard Mike Johnson earned All-America honors, giving Pendry three All-Americans in the last two years. Redshirt freshman Barrett Jones started all 14 games at right guard and was named a freshman All-American. Pendry’s experience was the key in the development of what many analysts regarded as the nation’s best offensive line in 2008. The group of Smith, Johnson, Caldwell, Marlon Davis and Drew Davis only missed a total of four starts between the five of them and cleared the way for one of the nation’s top rushing attacks. Smith won the Outland Trophy and was a as consensus All-American while Caldwell was also listed on several All-America teams. Johnson was also a second-team All-SEC selection. in 2007, Pendry saw Smith earn first-team All-SEC honors and win the Jacobs Blocking Trophy as the league’s top offensive lineman.

The defensive line accounted for 32.5 of the team’s 40 total sacks and also produced a pair of Pro Bowl players in Jenkins and Rucker. The Panthers’ defensive line has provided more than its share of superlatives. In 2006, the Panthers ranked seventh in yards allowed and seventh in sacks per play as two members of the starting unit, Peppers and Jenkins, were selected to the NFC Pro Bowl squad. In 2005, Carolina finished third in yards allowed, fourth against the rush and fifth in sacks per pass play.

92 ALABAMA The booming voice you hear leading a pre-practice stretch or encouraging a Crimson Tide player to finish a workout session strong is that of Director of Strength and Conditioning Scott Cochran. The high-energy coach joined the Alabama staff in 2007 after spending three seasons with the New Orleans Hornets of the NBA as an assistant strength coach. He received one of the highest honors in his field when he was named the 2008 Samson Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Year as featured in Quarterly following Alabama’s 12-2 season in 2008. Prior to the start of spring drills, Cochran implements head coach Nick Saban’s offseason workout plan, which includes the well- known “Fourth Quarter Program” -- a very important step in helping UA players develop physically and prepare for the upcoming practices. It is no coincidence that through improvements off the field in strength and conditioning, Alabama is known as one of the most physically dominant teams in the country. The main goal of the program is to win the fourth quarter and wear down your op- ponent as the game goes on. On the way to the 2009 National Championship, Alabama did just that as they won the fourth quarter by an astounding margin of 121-32. While in the NBA with the Hornets, Cochran’s duties included assisting with the exercise and strength conditioning programs to help players achieve and maintain optimal fitness throughout the NBA season. With the Hornets, he coached NBA standouts Chris Paul, Baron Davis, David West and Tyson Chandler. Prior to joining the Hornets staff, Cochran worked for his alma mater, Louisiana State, as an assistant strength coach in 2003 (13-1, BCS National Champions) and 2004 (9-3, Capital One Bowl). He was a graduate assistant in Baton Rouge from 2001-03. Cochran returned to LSU after starting his career in the strength and conditioning field at University Laboratory High School in Baton Rouge, La. He held that position from 1998-2001 before returning to LSU as a graduate assistant for all sports from 2001-03. Cochran was then hired on to the full-time staff for the 2003-04 season. a native of New Orleans, Cochran received a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from LSU in 2001 and added a master’s degree in sports management from LSU in 2003. Cochran was born on March 21, 1979, and is married to the former Cissy Schepens. They have a son, Beau, and a daughter, Savannah.

The Tide captured the program’s 13th national championship and the school’s 22nd SEC Championship with a 14-0 record. Alabama conquered every challenge placed in front of them, including a 32-13 thrashing of top-ranked Florida in the SEC Championship Game and a 37-21 triumph over Texas in the Citi BCS National Championship Game at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif.

The Crimson Tide produced a record six first-teamAssociated Press All-Amer- icans and eight first-team All-SEC selections. Mark Ingram became Alabama’s first Heisman Trophy winner and Rolando McClain claimed the Butkus Award and the Lambert Award, given to the nation’s top linebacker. Ingram set a school record with 1,658 yards rushing with 20 total touchdowns while averag- ing 189.0 all-purpose yards and nine touchdowns in six games against nation- ally-ranked opponents. McClain led the team with 105 tackles while accounting for 14.5 tackles for loss, four sacks, two interceptions, four pass breakups and 14 quarterback hurries. First-year starting quarterback Greg McElroy complet- ed 61 percent of his passes for 2,508 yards with 17 touchdowns. His 81.25 pass attempts for every interception thrown in 2009 was the second-best mark in SEC history, behind only Peyton Manning.

The Crimson Tide knocked off six Top 25 opponents on the way to the na- tional championship with wins over No. 7 Virginia Tech, No. 16 Mississippi, No. 22 South Carolina, No. 9 LSU, No. 1 Florida and No. 2 Texas. Maybe the Tide’s toughest wins came in hotly contested games with rivals Tennessee and Auburn. UA used two blocked field goals by Terrence Cody against the Vols to escape with a 12-10 win and then used a fourth-quarter drive, engineered McElroy, for a 26-21 win over the Tigers on the Plains.

Ingram is the ninth player in Southeastern Conference history to win the Heisman Trophy and the second in the last three years, joining 2007 winner Tim Tebow (Florida). Other SEC winners include Frank Sink- wich (Georgia, 1942), Billy Cannon (LSU, 1959), Steve Spurrier (Florida, 1966), Pat Sullivan (Auburn, 1971), Herschel Walker (Georgia, 1982), Bo Jackson (Auburn) and Danny Wuerffel (Florida).

Ingram produced a 2009 season that was one for the Alabama football history books. He rushed for a school-record 1,658 yards with 20 total touchdowns in 14 games for 118.43 yards per game average to rank 11th nationally and second in the SEC. Ingram added 30 receptions for 322 yards and three scores. His 1,992 all-purpose yards is the second- highest single-season total in school history. Ingram also gained an astonishing 1,075 yards - or 54 percent of his all-purpose yards - after contact. His numbers climbed even higher when the Crimson Tide’s opponent were ranked in the top 25, accounting for 1,134 all-purpose yards or 189.0 ypg, six games against top-25 foes, including four against top-10 teams.

FOOTBALL 151 152 ALABAMA FOOTBALL 153 154 ALABAMA Former Alabama head football coach Gene Stallings was selected to the 2010 class of the College Football Hall of Fame.

As head coach of the Crimson Tide from 1990-96, Stallings led Alabama to an on-field record of 70-16-1 (62-25 after eight wins were forfeited due to an NCAA ruling) while leading the Crimson Tide to the 1992 National Championship, one Southeastern Con- ference title (1992), four SEC West Division championships (1992, 1993, 1994 and 1996), five victories in postseason bowl games and four final top-10 national rankings.

Under Stallings’ direction, the Crimson Tide posted a 28-game winning streak spanning the 1991-93 seasons. He coached 13 First-Team All- Americans during his head coaching career. In 1992, Stallings was the National Coach of the Year, the American Football Coaches’ Association Coach of the Year, the Paul Bryant Coach of the Year and the Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year, and honor he earned twice at Alabama.

A member of College Football Hall of Fame coach ’s “Junction Boys” as a player at Texas A&M, Stallings returned to his alma mater in 1965 as head coach. In his third season, the Aggies captured the Southwest Confer- ence title and defeated Alabama in the Cotton Bowl. Stallings compiled a 27-45-1 record in seven seasons as head coach of the Aggies. After spending the next 17 seasons as an NFL coach, Stallings took over as head coach at Alabama in 1990.

Former Crimson Tide greats Don Hutson, John Hannah, Joe Namath, Ozzie Newsome, Bart Starr, Dwight Stephenson and Der- rick Thomas are all enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Names such as Shaun Alexander, Cornelius Bennett, and Kenny Stabler have starred on the NFL gridiron after their career at Alabama. Recently, linebacker Demeco Ryans was the 2006 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year and a 2008 Pro Bowl selection. Alabama had seven players drafted in 2010, including Rolando McCLain (Oakland), Mike Johnson (Atlanta), Javier Arenas (Kansas City), Terrence Cody (Baltimore), Kareem Jackson (Houston), Marquis Johnson (St. Louis) and Brandon Deaderick (New England).

158 ALABAMA READY TO WORK: The NFL pipeline leading out of Tuscaloosa was once again tapped by the Houston Texans as they selected Kareem Jackson as their first pick (20th overall) of the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. The Texans drafted Alabama’s DeMeco Ryans in the second round of the 2007 draft and Antoine Caldwell in the third round of the 2009 draft.

FOOTBALL 169 170 ALABAMA FOOTBALL 171 Scouts from across the country find their way to The University of Alabama campus every year to test the agility, speed and power of the Crimson Tide players. Every player wanting to make it to the next level performs for the scouts in hopes of fulfilling their dream of playing in the NFL.

In hopes of taking their careers to the next level, 18 draft-eligible Crimson Tide Alabama players had an opportunity to prove to scouts they were ready for the NFL.

On March 10, 2010, all 32 NFL teams were represented at Alabama’s Pro Day in Tuscaloosa, including head coaches Tom Coughlin (New York Giants), John Fox (Carolina Panthers) and Rex Ryan (New York Jets). Media members were also in attendance, including the NFL Network and a host of other local and national media.

“It’s a little bit like going from high school to college,” Fox said. “There’s a level jump, the season’s longer and the NFL is built to have parity, so that every game is competitive. I’d liken it to trying to see if a great high school player is going to make it at Alabama.”

Members of the Crimson Tide spent the day with physical testing as well as interviews. Workouts started off in the weight room where each player was measured for height and weight, bench press repetitions at 225 pounds, as well as the vertical jump and broad jump. Some players who worked out at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis earlier in the spring chose to go with their combine results.

After the weight room, media, scouts, players, and staff headed to the Indoor Facility. Players were given the chance to run the 40-yard dash, the three-cone drill and the 20-yard shuttle while demonstrating their skills at vari- ous position drills. This gave NFL scouts and coaches a chance look at, in detail, each player and evaluate their performance at their specific position.
