Bill "Brother" Oliver had devised some masterful game plans over the years as Alabama's defensive coordinator.
But he really didn't know how great his plan was in the Crimson Tide's 34-13 1993 Sugar Bowl victory over Miami to win the national championship until years later.
Oliver was playing in a charity golf tournament when another one of the participants walked up to him, threw his around Oliver's shoulder and began gushing about Oliver's game plan.
The admirer was Gino Torretta, the 1992 Heisman Trophy winner and Miami's quarterback that fateful January night when the No. 1 ranked Hurricanes had their 23-game winning streak snapped by the No. 2 Crimson Tide.
