    Or one could think Alabama vs. NU in the 1967 Sugar Bowl where NU 
had the big guys and Alabama had the speed.  ;-)  In case someone 
doesn't remember back that far Alabama won 34-7.  It was after that game 
Devaney decided he not only needed to keep recruiting big guys but he 
had to recruit big guys with speed.  That is pretty much what we had 
later in Devaney's tenure and through the Osborne years.
