"Crimson Dominance"

18" x 27" Giclée

America’s Sports Artist Rick Rush has woven several monumental moments from the 2011 National Championship game into his painting entitled Crimson Dominance. At the foreground, quarterback and Offensive MVP A.J. McCarron (#10) hands off to unanimous All-American and Heisman Trophy finalist Trent Richardson (#3) on the touchdown run. Offensive linemen include: unanimous All-American and Outland Trophy winner Barrett Jones (#75), Alfred McCullough (#52), D.J. Fluker (#76), and fullback Brad Smelley (#47).

The middleground of Crimson Dominance features three vignettes, from left-to-right: Kicker Jeremy Shelley (#90), who scored 15 points. LSU’s Jordan Jefferson is gang-tackled by consensus All-American Dont’a Hightower (#30), Tre DePriest (#33), Nick Gentry (#58), and Courtney Upshaw (#41). Linebacker C.J. Mosley (#32) intercepts Jordan Jefferson.

In the background of Crimson Dominance, a mass of Crimson Tide players celebrate Alabama’s 14th National Championship, and gather around Coach Nick Saban as he holds the Coach’s Trophy.
