BCS Pot Luck: Stories from around the country featuring Notre Dame’s BCS Championship opponent

Continuing our feature bringing you a pot full of stories from around the country on the upcoming BCS Championship Game. Yesterday was Notre Dame’s turn. Today, it’s Alabama’s. Dig in!

Saban: Bama Players Should 'Honor the Opportunity'

Alabama coach Nick Saban says he and his team "honor the opportunity" to play for a national title.

Alabama’s offensive line is on a roll

The nation's best college football team? That will be answered Monday night when No. 1 Notre Dame and No. 2 Alabama face off in the BCS championship game at Sun Life Stadium. But no one is asking what team owns the country's best offensive line

Shelley, Foster ready if BCS comes down to them

If Monday’s game comes down to Shelley or Foster, they certainly have the experience for it. They’ve split Alabama’s place-kicking duties for three seasons. That covers 39 games, with them combining for 173 extra points and 57 field goals.

In the movie, Ruettiger’s teammates plead for the coach to put him in a game, and when he gets a chance for one play against Georgia Tech, he sacks the quarterback. The team carries him off the field.

"He's really the key this week," Alabama senior linebacker Nico Johnson said Saturday. "Their quarterback is very good, and Blake has given us a great look.
