Legendary Alabama Coach Nick Saban Bids Farewell

Nick Saban, widely hailed as the greatest college football coach, has announced his retirement after an illustrious 17-year run at Alabama, leaving behind a legacy of 6 national titles.

A Legendary Coaching Career

Saban, 72, led the Crimson Tide to unprecedented success, securing six national championships in 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2017, and 2020. His final championship in 2020 marked his seventh national title, surpassing the legendary Bear Bryant. "The goal was always to help players create more value for their future, be the best player they could be, and be more successful in life because they were part of the program," Saban stated. https://twitter.com/BruceFeldmanCFB/status/1745207149960335652

Unprecedented Achievements

Saban's impact extended beyond championships. Under his guidance, Alabama produced four Heisman Trophy winners: Mark Ingram II (2009), Derrick Henry (2015), DeVonta Smith (2020), and the most recent, Bryce Young in 2021. "A truly remarkable career for Coach Saban," praised Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne. "What an honor it has been for us to have a front-row seat to one of the best to ever do it." https://twitter.com/mikerodak/status/1745244963128938533

Unmatched Success and Records

Saban's teams achieved winning seasons every year since 2008, culminating in a 12-2 record for the 2023 season. His influence reached the NFL, boasting an impressive 49 first-round draft picks, a testament to his coaching prowess. "There was no more perfect pairing than Saban and Alabama," with fans holding him in the highest regard, noted the reports.

The Future of Alabama Football

As the Alabama coaching chapter closes, attention turns to Saban's successor. Potential candidates include Dan Lanning, Steve Sarkisian, Dabo Swinney, Kalen DeBoer, and Mike Norvell. The task ahead involves maintaining the impressive roster talent composition and ensuring a smooth transition. "Alabama's head coaching search is the top priority," emphasized Alabama staff writer Kennington Smith III. https://twitter.com/SkinnyKenny_/status/1745245248656167001

Reflecting on a Legacy

Saban's retirement prompts reflection on his coaching philosophy encapsulated in the "process" - emphasizing hard work, discipline, and relentless pursuit of goals. His wife, "Miss Terry," expressed hope that their legacy extends beyond victories to making a positive difference in people's lives. "The rules for the game of football may change, but the 'process' will never go out of style," noted Terry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taeruJFmZNk In conclusion, Nick Saban's retirement marks the end of an era in college football, leaving an indelible mark on Alabama's program and the sport as a whole. His legacy goes beyond championships, emphasizing the enduring values of hard work and discipline. Read the full article

Washington: 2024 Sugar Bowl Champions

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The remarkable comeback story of Michael Penix Jr. is a victory away from a perfect ending for Washington.

Penix passed for 430 yards and two touchdowns, and the Huskies held off Texas 37-31 in the Sugar Bowl on Monday night to advance to the College Football Playoff title game, earning both the sixth-year quarterback with two surgically repaired knees and the beleaguered Pac-12 a chance to go out a champion.

The second-ranked Huskies (14-0) will face No. 1 Michigan next Monday night in Houston with a 21-game winning streak, looking for their first national championship since 1991 and the Pac-12's first since Southern California in 2004.

Washington is one of 10 schools fleeing the Pac-12 for other Power Five conferences next season, with the Huskies headed to join Michigan in the Big Ten. The conference is not going away, but its days as a potential football power are likely done.

But first, the final season of the four-team playoff before expansion to 12 in 2024 comes down to a Pac-12-Big Ten matchup, just like the first when Ohio State beat Oregon.

"Huskie Nation stand up," Penix told the UW crowd in the postgame trophy ceremony. "We goin' to the natty!"

No. 3 Texas (12-2) had four shots at the end zone after getting to the Washington 12 with 15 seconds left, but Quinn Ewers missed on the last three passes. The final throw was a fade to Adonai Mitchell that was knocked away by Washington's Elijah Jackson.

"Those guys are the most resilient guys I have ever been around," Washington coach Kalen DeBoer said.

In Texas' first CFP appearance and final football game as a member of the Big 12 before it goes to the Southeastern Conference, Ewers passed for 318 yards and a touchdown. But it wasn't enough against Penix and his array of talented receivers.

"They were a second away from playing for a national championship," Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said. "They should be proud of themselves. Penix got hot and (Washington) made some big plays down the field."

Penix spent his first four college seasons at Indiana, suffering three season-ending injuries, one to each knee and one to his throwing shoulder.

When his former offensive coordinator at Indiana, DeBoer, took over at Washington, Penix didn't think twice before moving to Seattle, and then decided to take advantage of an extra year of eligibility and returned for a second year.

"He's been on a mission since he chose to come back, and a lot of the other guys followed his lead," DeBoer said

The left-hander stayed healthy and blossomed into a star, the Heisman Trophy runner-up this year, and now has a chance to win a national championship after another brilliant performance.

"It was the tough times. I feel like everything I've been through built me for this," Penix said.

Penix went 29 for 38 with no turnovers. He completed 12 straight at one point, the longest on-target streak in the CFP's 10-year history.

And he did it attacking down field as usual. He completed six passes of at least 20 yards, connecting with Rome Odunze six times for 125 yards and Ja'Lynn Polk five times for 122.

It was in some ways a perfect CFP semifinal for the last season before massive changes in college football: two teams switching conferences next season, led by star quarterbacks who transferred in.

A wild first half included a 77-yard connection with Polk on Penix's second pass of the game, Texas defensive tackle Byron Murphy II plunging into the end zone for a 1-yard TD run, a Penix-to-Polk TD pass when the receiver tipped the ball to himself and the Longhorns capping the second quarter with a long touchdown drive to tie it at 21-all at intermission.

There was a fourth-and-1 stop by Texas of Washington deep in Longhorns territory, which didn't deter DeBoer from going for a fourth-and-1 at his own UW 33, and converting.

Penix had 255 yards in the first half alone, and then kept it rolling on the first drive of the second half, throwing a dart down the middle to Jalen McMillen for a 19-yard score.

Washington added two field goals by Grady Gross to take a 34-21 lead early in the fourth quarter. Holding the Huskies to field goals kept Texas in the game, and when Ewers found Mitchell, the Georgia transfer with two national titles, for a 1-yard score with 7:23 left, it was a one-possession game.

The Superdome sounded like Darrell K. Royal Stadium east, with Texas fans easily outnumbering the visitors from the Pacific Northwest.

Penix calmly went back to work, hitting Odunze over the shoulder for 32 yards down the sideline to set up a first-and-goal that led to the third field goal of the day for Gross, a former walk-on who was put on scholarship after hitting a walk-off winner in the Apple Cup.

That put Washington up 37-28 with 2:40 left, and had its purple-clad fans doing its best to drown out the Longhorns with a "Let's go Huskies!" chant.

Texas kicked a field goal with 1:09 left cut the lead to six. Washington recovered an onside kick, but couldn't kill the clock. Texas flew down the field and had an improbable comeback in sight.

"Just was looking to give my guys an opportunity to go make a play," Ewers said of his final throws. At the end of the day, that's all you can really do.

Washington came through in the clutch — again.

"They've done it all year, coming up with big-time stops in big-time moments," Penix said.

The Huskies' last 10 victories have all been decided by 10 points or fewer. The close games have brought doubters.

"We're always disrespected, always made the underdogs," said defensive end Bralen Trice, another upperclassman who returned this season to make title run.

THE TAKEAWAY

Texas: Came in with a vaunted defensive line led by All-America defensive tackle T'Vondre Sweat and second-team All-American Murphy. They were tough to run against, as usual, but they didn't get much pressure on Penix through an offensive line that was named the best in the country. Throughout the week both sides seemed a little tired of talking about the line matchup when the Huskies had the ball. Ultimately, the Huskies' big guys came out on top, not allowing a sack.

Washington: On the Huskies' final offensive play as they tried to burn clock, star running back Dillon Johnson was shaken up, which stopped the clock and gave Texas an extra 30 seconds or so for their own drive. There was no word on Johnson's status for the matchup with Michigan.

UP NEXT

Texas: Will Ewers be back for the Longhorns or is it Arch Manning time in Austin? Stay tuned.

Washington: The Huskies are 5-8 all-time against Michigan, including 2-2 in Rose Bowls.

[tsportsday]

Laken Litman College Football & Soccer Analyst Texas quarterback Maalik Murphy entered the transfer portal on Wednesday, as first reported by ESPN.This decision is not unexpected. With Longhorns' starting quarterback Quinn Ewers likely returning for another season and hotshot freshman Arch Manning waiting in the wings, Murphy has found himself in an all-too-crowded QB room. Murphy had been the clear backup and was coach Steve Sarkisian's choice to fill in while Ewers recovered from a sprained shoulder earlier this season. Murphy stepped in and helped lead the Longhorns to wins over BYU and No. 23 Kansas State, in which he combined to pass for 418 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions. The 33-30 overtime victory over the Wildcats was critical in helping keep the program's College Football Playoff hopes intact. And after that résumé-building win, Texas went on to win the Big 12 championship and earn its first-ever College Football Playoff berth. The Horns face Washington at the Sugar Bowl in a semifinal matchup on Jan. 1.Murphy is a respected player and teammate. He loves to compete and has never minded waiting for his turn. There were rumors that he might transfer before this season after an impressive performance at the spring game in April, but Murphy was committed to the Longhorns. He wasn't swayed by NIL deals. He wanted to develop under Sarkisian. "I'm gonna be candid on this, he didn't stay because of NIL," Sarkisian told reporters after the BYU game. "He stayed because he wanted to be part of this team. He just wanted to make sure that he had an opportunity to compete. And that's what makes him special. And I think that's why our team really loves him so much is that he loves his teammates. He motivates Quinn when Quinn is in there. He's a great teammate with Arch. That's why that quarterback room is so good right now. Those guys have a great rapport with one another."But now the time has come. Murphy got a taste of what it's like to be the guy and start. He's got great size — listed at 6-foot-5, 238 pounds — a strong arm, and should get playing time. Plus, there are plenty of top programs — Ohio State being one of them — who could use a talent like his.Laken Litman covers college football, college basketball and soccer for FOX Sports.

Many in Sooner Nation are beyond excited about our quarterback for 2024, Jackson Arnold. It is probably warranted. However, (see below)

Texas quarterback for 2024, Arch Manning, one of the most highly publicized recruits in history, really is all that. The stories and stats on him are almost perfect, like so perfect a person like this could only exist in fiction.

Many of you already know his story. He became a coveted recruit and in the spotlight during his freshman year in high school as the starting QB on the varsity team. His uncles are Peyton and Eli Manning, each of them have two super bowl rings. Arch attended the same private high school, Isidore Newman, as his uncles and broke all their records. He threw for 8,599 yards and 115 touchdowns with 20 interceptions while rushing for 1,155 yards and 25 TDs.

6'4" 220

Make all the throws - long ball (had a 60 yarder as high school freshman) great touch can throw receivers open. Can deliver with great velocity. Great anticipation, accuracy and timing on intermediate throws. Reads situation and throws the type of ball needed for that play.

Great Mechanics - and always practicing to improve them. Footwork, hip twitch...

Football IQ - off the charts. Insatiable desire to learn the game. Forget who it was that found his notes from a meeting, and were astounded on how much information he had absorbed.

Work Ethic - Beyond mechanics and mental game mentioned above. He is a gym rat, constantly lifting weights and running.

Running and scrambling - while his body is that of a prostyle quarterback he has good speed and can be elusive.

Humility- He is very hard on himself and Uber competitive. This is not how he interacted with his high school team mates. Hung out with them, one of the guys, laid back, joked around.

Steve Sarkisian is why he picked Texas. Not only great offensive mind but will develop traditional pro style quarterback. (Compare Sark to Lincoln Riley. Riley has three Heisman trophy winners, and two number one draft pics, he doesn't produce quarterbacks that are old school NFL. Riley's quarterbacks run, pull off Houdini escapes while finding open receivers.)

IMO - think he picked Texas because he was assured they would buy an offensive line that could protect him.
