Correct. The story is that Lacy had a terrible sophomore year in HS. Les did not think there was any way he could qualify. Saban challenged him to get his GPA up and he did at the last possible opportunity - summer school after his senior year.

So Lacy qualified by the skin of his teeth because Saban believed in him, while Les didn't. I have always wished Les would have believed in Lacy.
