There have been some gutsy comebacks in the Saban era, which one has been the most impressive?

2016 @ OM? 2014 Iron Bowl? 2014 @ LSU? 2013 @ TAMU? 2012 SECG? 2012 @ LSU? 2010 @ Arkansas? 2009 Iron Bowl?

Which ones am I missing?

I think that the Death Valley comebacks were the most intense, but they were one possession games at the time of the comebacks.

The 2010 Arkansas game was wild, and an improbable comeback. Very underrated game. I still can't believe we won that one.

What say you guys?

The best one is when he told Texas to shove it and signed an extension.

The UGA championship game might be my favorite.

Texas A&M 2013


A game that in many programs could have gotten out of hand. Saban's team put their nose to the grindstone and almost put it out of reach of Aggie and Johnny by the end.

2010 Arkansas

Bama had no business winning that game.

'12 SECCG. Down 21-10 against one of the best teams in the country.

Could be recency bias but I think 2016 OM is the best overall comeback with 2012 LSU being the best comeback moment.

Alabama historically has never been a come from behind team. The 21 point comeback against Ole Miss ties the largest in school history, so I'll say that. The others barely qualify as comebacks because the deficit faced was so small.

2010 Arkansas and 2014 LSU were probably the 2 most improbable. That late 1st half INT in the end zone against Arkansas was huge, and we probably lose without it. We were dead to rights in 2014 against LSU.


2012 UGA, and 2016 Ole Miss were probably the most impressive. UGA because of the stage and the way in which we won, Ole Miss because it was lead by a true freshman QB making his first start on the road.
