It's one of the most iconic plays in Alabama football history: The Strip.
Alabama defensive back George Teague supplied the signature moment of Alabama's 34-13 national championship game victory over Miami in the 1993 Sugar Bowl when he chased Miami's Lamar Thomas, took the ball away, and ran the other direction. The play forever neutered the Hurricanes' swagger and transformed the Crimson Tide from underdog to top dog.
Teague, now a 47-year-old high school football coach in suburban Dallas, recalled fear as his prime motivation for chasing chase Thomas to prevent a touchdown.
"Yeah, I was out of position, bro, and I talk to my football team about being out of position or taking a play off," he said in a recent interview with AL.
