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."

  Alabama was back in the football business in 1919 and Coach Xen Scott's first Crimson Tide team recorded an 8-1 season and only a 16-12 loss to Vanderbilt blocked a Southern Conference title. Backs Mulley Lenoir and Riggs Stephenson joined guard Ike Rogers as All-Southern Conference picks. Coach Scott called Stephenson a "better football player than Jim Thorpe." Lenoir scored 13 touchdowns for the Tide.  
 
Notes: Alabama shut out seven opponents and gave up only 22 points for the season.
