Origins
Gill came out of the stands in 1922 to stand ready as the last available substitute, and a hundred years later the entire student section still stands for the whole game. Bryant's Junction Boys built the toughness myth here before he went home to Alabama.

Success: 50% of yardage needed on 1st, 70% on 2nd, 100% on 3rd/4th. Explosive: 12+ yd rush / 16+ yd pass. National rank is shown only for 1st and 2nd down, where every team has 100+ plays; the later buckets average 18-43 and a rank there would be noise.
