Former Crimson Tide offensive lineman and current Pittsburgh Steeler Chris Owens discussed his interesting hopes for the future of his football career.
The story of the week was the mismatch Alabama's O-line had taking on the dominant Georgia defense. It looked like they may not be able to overcome the talent of Georgia's defensive front seven. Instead, the story was flipped and this game was won up front where the Crimson Tide offensive line took the challenge head on and gave Heisman candidate quarterback Young time to shine.
Chris Owens spoke with reporters for the first time Monday since making the decision to return for a sixth season.
