Alabama has a tradition of mixing faith and football that rivals Notre Dame, according to former Crimson Tide Coach Gene Stallings. “People think in terms of Notre Dame being a Catholic university and Alabama being a state university, but there’s a strong Fellowship of Christian Athletes program at Alabama, the longest continuous chapter in the country,” Stallings said. “The perception leans toward Notre Dame, but I think they’re about the same.” So who does God support in the Jan. 7 National Championship game?
