• Collin Sexton talks about Year 2 with the Cleveland Cavaliers:

Collin Sexton looks noticeably bigger and stronger. He says he spent thousands of hours watching film in the offseason. He says he wants to be a different player defensively. He watched Kyle Lowry and Fred Van Fleet. Sexton hopes his added strength will help him finish at the rim pic.twitter.com/iRU9vu7AGd

On this date in Crimson Tide history:

October 1, 2005: In maybe the loudest game ever played at Bryant-Denny Stadium, Alabama routed No. 5 Florida, 31-3. Quarterback Brodie Croyle threw three touchdowns, including an 87-yard bomb to wide receiver Tyrone Prothro on the Crimson Tide’s first offensive snap. However, the win was costly as Prothro suffered a career-ending injury trying catch a fourth-down pass in the end zone in the fourth quarter.

Crimson Tide quote of the day:

“Tell him not to feel so bad, because he played a very good defense," safety Charlie Peprah on the 2005 Florida game, the first time an Urban Meyer coached team was kept out of the end zone.
