When AJ McCarron got off Alabama’s team bus for Saturday afternoon’s game against Penn State, his father, Tony McCarron, was waiting with a letter.
The younger McCarron grabbed the letter from his father and walked to the locker room. Once inside, the redshirt sophomore quarterback read it.
The note included a list of 10 things that McCarron needed to do.
“Be a leader and lead by example, be aggressive, but be patient, make your throws count, make every handoff count …”
After reading the letter, McCarron folded it up and took the field before 107,846 rowdy fans at Beaver Stadium in his first career road start.
Nearly three-and-half hours later, McCarron had completed his father’s checklist during third-ranked Alabama’s yawner 27-11 victory against No. 23 Penn State. He was 19 of 31 passing for 163 yards with a touchdown and most importantly to demanding Alabama coach Nick Saban, McCarron didn’t commit a turnover.
