as long as the media remains entranced with Bryant folklore.

Bear Bryant's Civil Rights wake-up call was 55 years ago this week - one year before 1970 USC-Alabama fairytale - Tom Shanahan Report

This Tennessee rout of Alabama -- one year before the 1970 USC-Alabama game -- is yet another example.

In his first season as a college starting quarterback, Chiles has completed 56% of his passes for 1,212 yards and five touchdowns through six games. He also has made his fair share of mistakes — Chiles has thrown eight interceptions in six games.
