Mildren should have had the Heisman trophy in 71. He was an absolutely super athlete and the most major figure in a game said to have been THE game of the 20'th century, despite the Okie defense having lost it. Mildren and leon Crosswhite ran roughshod over the Auburn squad whose quarterback actually was given the Heisman.
Steadman Shealy who ran the Alabama national championship wishbone back around 1979 was a member of our church.
The year before he won the national title, he was recovering from knee surgery. He mentioned that they were working on having a much better passing game. Shealy was not a real passing QB but he learned to be a pretty good one.
