Any mystery about Alabama's runner-up trophy from last season was answered Thursday.
It exists no longer.
A video posted from the Instagram account of Crimson Tide receiver Jerry Jeudy shows strength and conditioning coach Scott Cochran destroying the hardware. He raised the trophy above his head and threw it to what appears to be the locker room floor.
Cochran finished off the remains with a sledgehammer. The language was not suited for all ages.
Alabama lost 35-31 to Clemson in last season's national championship game. The Tide plays Georgia on Monday night for this season's title.
