Knight knows history won’t beat Tide now

Playing 2014 Sugar Bowl win, QB earns respect of current team.

- Bohls Kirk Bohls Commentary

Trevor Knight was bemused by one of his offensive linemen.

When the Texas A&M quarterbac­k was told that left tackle Jermaine Eluemunor had praised Alabama as the king of college football before adding as a postscript that “no king reigns forever,” a reporter said the 6-foot4-inch, 325-pound senior did hail originally from London, where monarchs rule.

“Yeah,” Knight said with a chuckle, “it was a history lesson.”

The Crimson Tide players have been reminded more than a few times of some history as well.

This won’t be the first time Knight challenged college football royalty. He did so as a redshirt freshman quarterbac­k at Oklahoma, when he played the game of his career and completed 32 of 44 passes for 348 yards and four touchdowns to dethrone twotime defending national champion Alabama 45-31 in the 2014 Sugar Bowl.
