Woodrow Lowe, a star linebacker who is one of two Alabama players to be named All-American three times, was a defensive star in a pair of Sugar Bowls. He had 10 tackles in the Tide’s 1973 memorable loss to Notre Dame and added 13 in its win over Penn State in 1975. In the latter game, he had two tackles on Penn State’s final drive, including a key stop to force a fourth-down (the Lions went for it and were stopped again) with just over a minute remaining. Lowe set the Alabama record for tackles in a season in 1973 and still ranks No. 4 all-time in tackles for the Tide with 315 while also keying four straight SEC Championships for his team. Selected for the College Football Hall of Fame in 2009, Lowe had an 11-year NFL career with the San Diego Chargers in which he only missed one game.
