So we've had some really good games this year. A lot of them have came down to the final minutes or even last second field goals.

But when was the last time your team wasn't competitive in a game? I'll let you decided what you consider competitive, but some examples could be getting shut out or losing by 21 or more.

The two games that most stand out for Alabama was the 2009 and 2014 Sugar Bowls, but both were only loses by 14 pts.

For the last game that was in no way competitive for us was 2003 Alabama-LSU game. L 3-27. Damn you Saban..

So lets hear the last time you couldn't really make an excuse other then you just got your arse beat

We had the ball with a chance to tie with not a lot of time left in the 4th quarter against OU. We were plenty competitive and would have won if we hadn't turned the ball over as much as we did.


Utah did beat our arse in 08. That game was embarrassing.

You guys weren't very competitive against us in 2010. I almost got bored.

Utah 2008 and South Carolina 2010 are the two games of the Saban era that I'd say we weren't "competitive" in. Although there were even glimmers of hope, however brief, in the second half of both of those games too.

That's good stuff. I said many things each of those times.

You must bore easily.

You won by 14 but with 12:00 to go in that game, Bama had the ball 1st and 10 at the your 18 yard line down 7 and failed to score. On the next series, Spurrier went for it on 4th an 1 from his own 36 to keep from giving Bama the ball back. You also lost the total yardage battle.

Despite the final score, it was a very competitive game.

ETA: To answer the OP's question, the last time Bama got really dominated was the 2008 Sugar Bowl against Utah, but even that game was 21-17 in the third. The last time they got dominated where there was never even a shred of hope was the 2005 Iron Bowl.
