Backup quarterback Gary Hollingsworth became the starter after an injury sidelined Jeff Dunn and a Cinderella season evolved for a forgotten signal-caller and a determined team. After winning its first 10 games, including a 47-30 thriller over Tennessee in Birmingham, Bill Curry's team had clinched a tie for the school's first SEC title since 1981. The historic showdown versus Auburn, the first matchup between the two schools in the Tigers' lair, proved disappointing for the second-ranked Tide that fell 30-20 to the War Eagles. In the Sugar Bowl, Alabama played inspired football but not well enough to defeat eventual national champ Miami. Alabama's 10-2 squad featured two first team All-Americans, linebacker Keith McCants and cornerback John Mangum. Eight other Tiders earned All-SEC recognition, including Hollingsworth, tight end Lamonde Russell, center Roger Shultz, tailback Siran Stacy, tackle Terrill Chatman, nose tackle Willie Wyatt, cornerback Efrum Thomas and kicker Philip Doyle. |
