Craig is very underrated and kind of forgotten. In my lifetime, born in ‘80, Craig is number two behind Cam. If Craig would’ve had decent running backs, they could have been a national title contender. Their D was pretty good that year. Was even better the next year, even though the team was way worse.

Bowden went all-in on Craig that year. When opposing defenses successfully schemed to contain him (like Florida and MSU) he stubbornly kept to his game plan and we got hammered.
Defense was outstanding. Oliver did as good a job with AU’s unit that year - with less overall talent and a tougher schedule - as he did at Bama in ‘92.
