AL SJR18

Congratulates the 2020 University of Alabama Crimson Tide Football Team for winning the College Football Playoff Championship on January 11, 2021, defeating Ohio State University.

Commends the team for going undefeated in a conference-only schedule and becoming one of the only teams in college football history to accomplish this while winning a national championship.

Recognizes record-setting individual accolades won by team members, including Devonta Smith (Heisman Trophy, Maxwell Award, Associated Press Player of the Year), Mac Jones (Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award), and Head Coach Nick Saban (seventh national championship and Paul "Bear" Bryant Award).

Honors the team for providing normalcy and inspiration during a year of disease, fear, and division, while risking exposure to COVID-19 to play.

Directs that copies of the resolution be presented to all named individuals, University of Alabama Athletic Director Greg Byrne, and President Stuart Bell.
