Alabama's Greatest Hits, Part 2

From the beginning of the LSU game to the National Championship Game against Texas, Alabama kept hitting.
As the season wore on the hits became harder and more numerous.
Alabama never quit, but a lot of other teams sure did.

Terrence Cody vs. Jordan Jefferson

Jefferson's first big hit. Count 'em folks, because Jefferson is going to quit soon.

Terrence Cody vs. Chris Tolliver

Mark Barron plugged the hole while Mt. Cody knocks Tolliver to the turf.

Marquis Maze vs. Kelvin Sheppard

One of the biggest hits of the game. Maze puts a huge hit on Sheppard after this interception.

Javier Arenas and Brandon Deaderick vs. Jordan Jefferson

Arenas and Deaderick in the process of making Jefferson quit.

Mark Barron vs. Jordan Jefferson

How much more can Jefferson take? Barron takes him down and breaks up the pass.

Nico Johnson vs. Jordan Jefferson

Johnson gets into the act. How much more can Jefferson take?

Down Goes Jefferson!

Jefferson quits.

Marcell Dareus vs. Jarrett Lee

Dareus gets his sixth sack of the year against Jefferson's replacement Jarrett "Pick Six" Lee.

Mark Ingram and Julio Jones vs. Stefoin Francois

Julio Jones, one of the best blocking WRs in the game, gets to Stefoin Francois at the same time as Ingram. Mark Ingram gained an additional five yards after the two hits.

Mark Barron vs. Gravity

Okay, so this isn't a hit. But somebody please tell me how Mark Barron got so much air beneath his feet? Note the two photographers too awestruck to do their job.

Rolando McClain, Courtney Upshaw and Eryk Anders vs. Tyson Lee

Lee gets gang tackled for minimal gain.

Rolando McClain and Lorenzo Washington vs. Anthony Dixon

Anthony Dixon learning why running against the Alabama D is next to impossible.

Lorenzo Washington vs. Tyson Lee

Washington gets the sack.

Mauquis Johnson vs. O'Neal Wilder

Marquis was tested against Mississippi State as Dan Mullen challenged the DB three times in a row. MJ answered with three pass break-ups. Here he hits Wilder at the same time the ball arrives.

Luther Davis vs. Anthony Dixon

Luther Davis squashes Anthony Dixon in the backfield.

Chris Jordan vs. Chad Bumphis

Jordan taking down Bumphis behind the line-of-scrimmage.

Rolando McClain vs. Tyson Lee

Ro' gets the sack.

Alabama's Offensive Line vs. Mississippi State's Defensive Line

Perfect blocking = 48 yard TD strike to Julio Jones.

Cory Reamer, Eryk Anders and Brandon Deaderick vs. Tyson Lee

Yes folks, Tyson Lee is under there somewhere.

Rolando McClain and Mark Barron vs. Ben Tate

McClain and Barron stop Tate in his tracks.

Rolando McClain vs. Ben Tate

McClain cuts Tate.

Five vs. Barrett Trotter

Robby Green and four teammates bring down Trotter behind the line-of-scrimmage. In case you want to know who all missed their blocking assignments... well there are five Auburn players standing around watching.

Terrence Cody vs. Ben Tate

Cody gets penetration and brings down Tate for no gain. Big man could move.

Three vs. Ben Tate

I think that's Nico Johnson, Eryk Anders and Robby Green but I'm not sure. I'm positive that's Ben Tate.

Terrence Cody, Rolando McClain, and Ali Sharrief vs. Ben Tate

Lorenzo Washington was in on that tackle too but there were too many names to fit into the slide title.

Eryk Anders vs. Chris Todd

Anders knocks the ball loose, Alabama recovers.

Eryk Anders vs. Ben Tate

Anders gets an assist from Josh Chapman.

Rolando McClain vs. Ben Tate

Ro' all over Tate again.

Marquis Johnson vs. Mario Fannin

Green's hit left Fannin dazed and confused.

See?

Fannin returned, but not for long.

Javier Arenas vs. Chris Todd

Javy gets the sack.

Kareem Jackson vs. Ben Tate

Jackson was ready for this pitch to Tate. Another negative yarder for the "best running back in the state."

Mark Barron and Kareem Jackson vs. Tim Tebow

There's gonna be a lot of this going on.

Ron Woodson vs. James

Woodson takes James to the turf for little gain.

Rolando McClain vs. Tim Tebow

Ro' takes down Tebow.

P.J. Fitzgerald vs. James

Alabama's punter Fitzgerald makes an open field tackle.

Greg McElroy vs. Brandon Hicks

GMac blocking like a lineman for Trent Richardson.

Lorenzo Washington vs. Tim Tebow

This hit led to an incomplete pass on review but could just have easily gone the other way (fumble).

Nico Johnson vs. Nelson

Johnson stops Nelson before the first down marker.

Terrence Cody vs. Chris Rainey

Cody couldn't be blocked off this tackle as he slings Rainey to the turf. An assist goes to Arenas and Reamer. Lorenzo Washington gets the "Tough Man" award for continuing play without a helmet.

Marcel Dareus vs. Colt McCoy

McCoy's championship ending injury dealt by Dareus.

Cory Reamer, Rolando McClain and Terrence Cody vs. Tre' Newton

Gang tackle.

Courtney Upshaw vs. Garrett Gilbert

Upshaw was the first to introduce Gilbert to SEC style defense.

Lorenzo Washington vs. D.J. Monroe

Washington greets Monroe behind the line-of-scrimmage.

Marcell Dareus vs. Cody Johnson

Darius keeps No. 31 Johnson out of the end-zone. Texas settles for the field goal.

Alabama Offensive Line vs. Texas Defensive Line

This is how it's done. Cody makes a huge hole while Ingram waltzes in.

Courtney Upshaw vs. Garrett Gilbert

Upshaw gets to Gilbert.

Marcell Dareus vs. Garrett Gilbert

Dareus face-plants Gilbert to the ground and scores a defensive touchdown.
Had Dareus been carrying the ball in his left hand I'd say he was making a Heisman pose.

Kareem Jackson vs. Dominique Jones

Jackson freight trains TE Jones.

Eryk Anders vs. Garrett Gilbert

Anders jolts the ball loose, recovered by Courtney Upshaw.

Season over. 14-0.

I could have done 5 slide shows.
