That implies they ever gave an initial effort.

Wasn't there one more recent than that? I seem to recall the 2007 Alabama team fitting the theme pretty well. Started out 6-2 (with both losses close against good opponents), stomped Tennessee (eventual SEC East champion), ranked in the top 25. Then lost a tough game at home to LSU (eventual national champion) and just collapsed. Finished the regular season 6-6 on a 4-game losing streak, including at home to UL-Monroe. They did manage to win a nailbiter in a minor bowl game, but I don't see how that qualifies as bouncing back any more than LSU's 2015 football team did beating two high school teams to close out the season or any more than LSU's basketball team if it manages to squeak by Mizzou at home and/or win a game in the SEC Tournament.
