...ears to his legend, in every way he is more than several sizes larger than standard: 6 ft. 3½ in., 210 lbs., 322 victories (more of those than anyone else); a farmer's son from Arkansas, a wrestler of carnival bears, "the other end" to Don Hutson at Alabama, the other coach to Adolph Rupp at Kentucky, the scourge of Texas A&M, the sage of Alabama, the supreme being of college football.
