Alabama had the No. 69 passing offense that fall as running back Trent Richardson made the trip to New York for the Heisman. The Crimson Tide also won a national title that fall, but the doubters were looking at the stat sheet.

"But I wanted to be a winner," Cooper said. "That was the most important thing to me. People who were disagreeing with me, they were focused on my stats and what my stats would look like. And I was more focused on winning."

I'm glad he wanted to be a winner and didn't listen to the doubters.  #+
