Big, long shots by Levi Randolph and Rodney Cooper lift Tide past Bulldogs | al.com
Never mind that Randolph was 8 of 36 from the field in his past six games. Never mind that he was 1 of 11 from the perimeter in the previous seven games. Randolph didn’t shoot, and during a media timeout, he heard from Grant. “Coach said that’s a shot I should have taken, but I drove instead, and I ended up turning it over,” Randolph said. “I knew the next time down the court, if the play presented itself, I was going to have to take the shot.”
Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Georgia Bulldogs - Recap - February 12, 2013 - ESPN
The Crimson Tide (16-8, 8-3 Southeastern Conference) won for the eighth time in 10 games with another stifling defensive effort. Alabama has held nine straight SEC opponents to less than 60 points, limiting the Bulldogs to 31 percent (16 of 52) from the field. Georgia (12-12, 6-5) went more than 10 minutes without a field goal in the second half but still had a chance because of both teams' offensive woes. When Donte Williams slammed in a wild miss off the backboard, the Bulldogs led 41-40 with 2:37 remaining.

"The thing that we will do is we have allowed the kids to commit and still look around the last couple of years -- we're not doing that anymore," Brown said last week on Signing Day. "If you are committed to us, be committed. If you're going to go look, we're going to go look."

Will SEC Follow Big Ten to Larger Schedule? - Team Speed Kills
The SEC is a leader in many areas, but when it comes to the conference television network, the Big Ten is the unquestioned leader. Where it goes with its network is probably a template that other conferences will go. I wouldn't be surprised if the SEC sits back and watches the Big Ten's greater-than-eight experiment go, just like it did with the existence of a conference TV network, but I suspect the league will have nine-game slate sooner than later.
D.J. Fluker Draft Profile – NFL.com
Tall, long, thick right tackle prospect with huge hands and a solid (not sloppy) build. That pure size gives him the power to collapse the edge to create running lanes. Defensive ends must be very quick off the snap to beat him on their initial pass rush move because of his length and hustle
Barrett Jones Draft Profile – NFL.com
Can get complacent and will fight for initial position, but doesn’t finish blocks and allows his man to disengage too often. Prone to making his initial block and then ball-watching instead of finding a second target. Has a lengthy injury history (but shows the toughness to play through them) and will need to check out medically.

Dee Milliner NFL Draft Profile - DraftSeason
- Trying to ignore the brilliant defensive minds on the Alabama sidelines is hard, but Milliner looks like the real deal as a number one corner. Considering it is a passing league, his ability to track the ball makes it easy to overlook his inconsistencies in the running game.
