The 1963 Orange Bowl saw the first ever meeting between two of college football's most storied programs.

Lee Roy Jordan stole the show with one of the greatest single game performances in Alabama football history with thirty one tackles, prompting Coach Bryant to say, "If they stay in bounds, Lee Roy'll git 'em." Watch and listen as Tide greats Mal Moore, Mike Hopper, Dude Hennessey, Benny Nelson and Lee Roy Jordan recap the thrilling 1962 season and the 1963 Orange Bowl that would become a "Crimson Classic.".
