How can you explain this?
QB A.J. McCarron won 36 games in 3 years at Alabama and TWO national titles! But didn’t win the Heisman!
QB Greg McElroy led Alabama to an unbeaten season. But didn’t make the playoff or the New Year’s Six bowls.
QB Jake Coker led Alabama to the 2015 national title! But didn’t win the Heisman!
Finally, this year, QB Bryce Young took Alabama to tonight’s national title game … AND won the Heisman! About time.
Let’s see if Young can earn his big H against Georgia tonight, a team he already beat this season in the SEC title game.
I know this is a West Virginia forum. Well, Bama coach Nick “Brother” Saban is a West Virginia native, his father Nick, Sr. was a legend in youth football and baseball in Marion County, Brother quarterbacked the 1968 Monongah High state championship team, even had a short stay with the WVU athletic department. Can’t get much more West Virginia than that.
State championship at Monongah High, maybe his 8th national title tonight (7 at Alabama, 1 at LSU). Just the normal resume for a Monongah High graduate.
As, for example, Dr. Bruce Edmond, WVU Medicene CEO, another Monongah High graduate.
Brother led the LSU Tigers to the BCS National Championship in 2003 and the Alabama Crimson Tide to BCS and AP national championships in 2009, 2011, 2012, and College Football Playoff championships in 2015, 2017 and 2020. He has won seven national titles as a head coach, the most in college football history.
And he's not done yet! Bear Bryant is a distant 2nd in Alabama legend!
