A dream. His dream. That's what Dabo Swinney called the 1993 Sugar Bowl. Alabama 34, Miami 13 stands as one of the epic victories in Crimson Tide history for two reasons.
That national title showed there was life at the top for the program after Bear Bryant, and it was the last time Alabama surprised anyone by winning a championship game.
For Swinney, a senior wide receiver and special teams starter that season, his last game as a football player meant everything. He swiped a game ball from a manager and showed "the best ball security you've ever seen" as he tucked it high and tight during a victory lap to high-five the fans.
