‘Well, these sumbitches wouldn’t block anybody, I wanted to see if they could tackle somebody.’” Pat Tramell answer after calling a quick kick on 1st down against Auburn. Bill Battle told the story. “We were up big against Auburn, but Pat needed to do something to break a record, maybe throw another pass,” said Battle, who went on to become head coach at Tennessee and later was Alabama’s athletics director. “So (Bryant) put him back in after they took the first bunch out. And the first play, he called for a quick kick. He came over to the bench and coach Bryant asked, ‘what the crap are you doing?’ (Trammell) said ‘well, these sumbitches wouldn’t block anybody, I wanted to see if they could tackle somebody.’”
