    <description>Fifty years ago on a high school football field in Ozark, Ala., Bobby Bowden first saw the passion that burns inside Mickey Andrews.&amp;lt;p/&amp;gt;   At the time, Andrews was a do-everything star who would go on to be recruited by Paul ``Bear&amp;#39;&amp;#39; Bryant and play on two of Alabama&amp;#39;s national championship teams. Bowden was coach of tiny Howard College (now Samford University) in Birmingham, Ala.</description>
