• Linebackers Christian Harris and Shane Lee, and offensive lineman Evan Neal were named to the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) Midseason All American team.

• Alabama head coach Nick Saban was named to the Paul "Bear" Bryant Coach of the Year watch list. He’s won it before, but not with Alabama — 2003 at LSU.

• Former Crimson Tide defensive lineman Marcell Dareus could be sidelined for a while:

#Jaguars DT Marcell Dareus is headed to Philadelphia for a meeting with Dr. William Meyers to receive a second opinion and evaluate a core muscle injury, source said. If Dareus ended up having surgery it would knock him out roughly 4-6 weeks.

Update on @CStewartSports: As of today Chris has been in the hospital for 8 weeks. He’s definitely getting better & battling but it’s slow & he still has a tough road ahead. All involved continue to be very optimistic about a full recovery but as I’ve seen 1st hand PT/ (1/3)

prayers & love they’ve felt from so many of you. I can’t wait for Chris and I to be sitting courtside together calling @AlabamaMBB games in the near future but until then please continue to pray for @CStewartSports & @parkerzmom as Chris continues to heal! Thanks & Roll Tide!

On this date in Crimson Tide history:

Oct. 24, 2009: The play forever known as “Rocky Block” happened at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Oct. 24, 1925: In a battle of unbeatens, Alabama and Georgia Tech met for Southern Conference supremacy in Atlanta. A torrential rain cast gloom around Wallace Wade's team, noted for its quickness and passing abilities; however, the mud-drenched Crimson Tide won 7-0, thanks to a scintillating third-quarter touchdown punt return of 55 yards by Johnny Mack Brown.

Crimson Tide quote of the day:

"I didn't really get off the ground. I just reached my arm up. That's how I got it. I knocked [the blocker] back. He was on his back." – Terrence Cody after blocking his second field goal against Tennessee in 2009, forever known as “Rocky Block.” Alabama won 12-10.
