[QUOTE="Heisman's Ghost, post: 950509, member: 4015"] Interesting but Curry was likely a true freshman during the 1961 season as he graduated as an All American center in 1964. Colleges were still not allowing freshmen to play at that time. Tech played at Birmingham in 1961 with Alabama ranked number 2 in the country. Alabama won 10-0. That game was the infamous Chick Graning game. According to Dodd's autobiography, the Tech team doctor said that Graning had numerous small bones broken in his face and it was the worst facial injury he had ever seen as a team doctor in football. The game the next year was in Atlanta and as recalled by Kim King who was being heavily recruited by Alabama he and his family visited with the Bear in his hotel room before the game. Bryant was chain smoking Chesterfield cigarettes while watching a downpour and mumbling "This is Dodd weather, he will know how to take advantage of it" So, he did as Tech upset number one Bama in what Dodd later called his "greatest victory".
