Kelly: Ducks 'cooperated fully' with NCAA investigation
Oregon coach Chip Kelly says the Ducks have cooperated fully with the NCAA investigation into the school's use of recruiting services, and he isn't particularly surprised that the process has taken so long.
Quotable:
McElroy spent two seasons on the bench at Alabama, then struggled in several of his first seven games as the starter in 2009. But he came on strong in the last four, including a seven-pass, game-winning drive against Auburn the week before the Florida game.
“That was a huge turning point in my Alabama career,” McElroy said.
But facing Coach Urban Meyer’s Gators was a different test. Their defense would have five players chosen in the first three rounds of the N.F.L. draft, including cornerback Joe Haden, selected No. 7 over all by the Cleveland Browns.
Then there was Tebow, who had scored 30 touchdowns in the previous 12 games and was a Heisman Trophy finalist for a third time. Alabama, ranked third in the country, lost to Florida, 31-20, in the 2008 SEC title game, in which Tebow threw for three touchdowns.
“That was the one hurdle we needed to overcome as a program,” McElwain said. “And Greg played lights out.”
