Game of My Life: Alabama Crimson Tide

From Harry Gilmer and his excellent play in the 1946 Rose Bowl to Mark Ingram becoming the Crimson Tide's first Heisman Trophy winner in 2009, Alabama has had more than its share of great games and great players. In Game of My Life Alabama Crimson Tide you'll discover the advice head coach Paul "Bear" Bryant gave his team before the 1967 Auburn game won by quarterback Ken Stabler's famous "run in the mud," and you'll learn about the favorite games of many other star players.
