09/10 11:59 CDT Penn State-Alabama might lack only Heisman winner
Penn State-Alabama might lack only Heisman winner By JOHN ZENOR AP Sports Writer TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -- Storied programs, iconic coaches and the kind of rich history normally reserved for longer-running rivalries. If only No. 1 Alabama and No. 18 Penn State - Joe Paterno vs. Nick Saban - could toss a Heisman Trophy winner into this tasty football stew on Saturday night. But Crimson Tide tailback Mark Ingram seemed less likely to return for the game from a knee injury as the week went along. Nevermind that, though. It's the first meeting in two decades between onetime rivals who forged a tradition of classic games in the late 1970s and through the 1980s. It's also the first chance for Alabama to offer hard evidence it's worthy of top billing. And for JoePa and Penn State to make their own statement. |
