Alabama Crimson Tide football program represents the University of Alabama. What we know as the powerhouse SEC gridiron team of the Tide had very humble beginnings. 'Bama undergrad, William G. Little, a student of Law, learned how to play football while attending prep school in Andover, Massachusetts and began teaching the sport to fellow Alabama students in early 1892. Later in the year, the school formed an official team of 19 players, with Little as captain and E. B. Beaumont as head coach. This storied program program as so far claimed 18 national championships, including 13 wire-service national titles in the poll-era, and five other titles before the poll-era. From 1958 to 1982, the team was led by Hall of Fame coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, who won six national titles with the program. Current Coach Nick Saban has brought even more glory and National titles to the school. Other legends that roamed the side line as head coach are; Wallace Wade, Frank Thomas, Harold D. "Red" Drew, Bear Bryant, Ray Perkins, Bill Curry, Gene Stallings, Mike DuBose, Dennis Franchione, Mike Shula, and Joe Kines. There have been numerous star players that have come through the Alabama program including Joe Namath, Johnny Mack Brown, John Hannah, Don Hutson, Ozzie Newsome, Bart Starr, and Ken Stabler, however, it was not until 2009 that an Alabama player received a Heisman Trophy, when running back Mark Ingram II became the university's first winner. In 2015, Derrick Henry became the university's second Heisman winner.

1934 Alabama Double Reverses Your Pleasure
When your team has one of the greatest ends in football history, one would expect the first touchdown pass of his senior year to come before the season’s seventh game, but that is what happened with Don Hutson and the 1934 Alabama team. Hutson was a fabulous, fluid athlete who played left end for Bama during the days when every end was tight. The counterweight on the right side of Alabama’s line was a junior named Paul \"Bear\" Bryant. — www.footballarchaeology.com
The FootballArchaeology.com website tells the story of the 1934 Alabama Crimson Tide and their talented speedster, the legendary Don Hutson and how the team devised ways to get Hutson the ball in open spaces.
