Namath wore that helmet, too, as did Steve Sloan and, if memory serves, Scott Hunter. All were great Alabama quarterbacks. Brodie Croyle also had 12.
I thought Hunter was the most underrated of all of them. It was practically the whole offense of Hunter to Homan and Hunter to Ranager for a few years there. I remember the Al-Tenn game (bama lost) of about ...... was it ‘69????, and Scott Hunter threw 57 passes in the game. Johnny Musso was their entire running game.
It was the year that Richmond Flowers Jr, son of the AG for Alabama, played for Tennessee.
I know way too much history on this team to be healthy for me!
Whoops. Scratch Holman from the above. Memory not as sharp as I thought it was. I meant to say HAYDEN to Ranager, as they rotated qb for a bit there.
