Captain(s): Mike Mizerany

With senior quarterback Ed Salem passing, receiver Al Lary catching most of his tosses, lineman Mike Mizerany dominating up front and sophomore sensation Bobby Marlow running, Alabama opened a new decade with a 9-2 record. Razor thin losses to Vanderbilt and Tennessee damaged an otherwise perfect season. Game-by-game this team got better and its closing routs of Miss. Southern (53-0), Georgia Tech (54-19), Florida (41-13) and Auburn (34-0) moved the Tide to No. 16 in the final polls. Ironically, no bowls came knocking when the season ended; however, AP voters did select Salem Ail-American and his teammates Lary (who caught a school record 10 TD passes) and Mizerany to the second team.
In the Georgia Tech rout, Marlow rushed for 180 yards and scored a modern day school record four touchdowns. His performance created such an impression on Yellow Jacket coach Bobby Dodd that he called the Bama soph "the best back he'd ever coached against." |
