Bama Trivia...

on this day

5/18/1979

Coach Paul Bryant goes back to Texas for a reunion with his 1954 Texas A&M team, the famed squad taken to Junction, Tex., for what was termed a "football boot camp." Only 27 players returned from the Junction to play for Texas A&M and 23 of those were at the reunion. While Bryant is out of town, the Birmingham News reports the league coaches are picking Alabama to repeat as SEC Champions but only two Bama players receive "best awards." Dwight Stephenson is listed as the "best offensive lineman" and Major Ogilvie the "best blocker in the SEC."

  In his second season D.V. Graves coached Alabama to a 5-3-1record and it was a team that featured three VandeGraafs: end Hargrove, tackle Bully, and back Adrian. In a 52-0 win over Marion, Adrian and Hargrove each scored two TDs; then in a 62-0 win over Owentown College, Hargrove scored four more TDs. Adrian's most memorable run came on a scoring jaunt to beat Tennessee 7-0 on Thanksgiving Day, 1912. By 1912, touchdowns were worth six points.  
 
Notes: For the first time since 1908 Bama plays Tennessee and records its sixth straight shutout over the Vols.
