  On This Day in Crimson Tide History:

  October 14, 1961: After trailing for the first time in the season, Alabama roared back to down Roman Gabriel-led North Carolina State 26-7 at Denny Stadium. Touchdown passes from Pat Trammell to Richard Williamson and Bill Battle gave Alabama a 12-7 halftime lead. A 5-yard run by Trammell and a 45-sprint by fullback Ed Versprille capped the Crimson Tide's rally. In the head-to-head quarterback matchup, Trammell was 10-for-14 for 155 yards while Gabriel finished 16-for-23 for 123 yards. – Bryant Museum

  October 14, 1978: Kendal Moorehead was born in Memphis, Tenn.

  Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

  “There’s nothing wrong with reading the game plan by the light of the jukebox.” – Kenny Stabler

  We'll leave you with this...

  Happy Homecoming to all who will be celebrating this weekend!
