I don't know about blown out (VT in the 90s comes instantly to mind)
But the 2005 Iron Bowl was awful, like a travesty against football. Our performance was as bad as we've ever played in my life. Total mismatch and could have been a 40+ beatdown if Tommy didn't take his foot off the gas (or our throats).
I remember quipping to a friend that Brodie Croyle must have slept with every girlfriend of the O-line because they clearly wanted him to die that day.

The fact of the matter is, Alabama hasn't been truly blown out on the scoreboard since 2003 when LSU beat them 27-3 in Tuscaloosa.
2004:
Alabama - 10 Arkansas - 27
Alabama - 3 South Carolina - 20

The last time Alabama got blown out on the field was probably the '05 Iron Bowl. The final score was 28-18 but Auburn ran over us on both sides of the ball that day. That game was easily the most lopsided of Auburn's six straight wins over us.
I remember going to that game. Then I remember going back to Jordan Hare in 07, still hearing echos of Croyle screaming for someone to dig him out of the ground after being destroyed 11 times.

Some say you can still hear it to this day.

Maybe not by score but Utah totally dominated you guys and pretty much ran you off the field. Thats the last time I can remember.
numbers wise, this is false. However I was at that game and it felt far worse than what you even said. I was the most frustrating miserable game ive been to, mostly because of who it was I think and all the shite we talked on bourbon street the night before

The camera shots of the Bama fans were a sight to see by game's end.
Amazing we still had any hope coming off the 2000 campaign.

Pretty much what I said. You kept the score close but on the field, it was a total man handle. I was very surprised too. I thought Bama would handle them

As others have said, the game against South Carolina in 2010 was the last time Alabama just got beat badly for 4 quarters, very strange game, score was closer than the game actually went.
I've been following Alabama football for over 25 years and I can count the huge blowouts (final score wise) on one hand just about.
Alabama very rarely gets blown out. Even the shitty teams that went like 3-9 and 4-9 still managed to keep almost all the losses very close.
The biggest huge blowouts I can remember
At the end of the 90 season Louisville killed us bad in a bowl game.
In 91 Florida drubbed us badly (only loss of the season).
In 95 Tennessee demolished us.
In 98 Arkansas beat us bad, as did Va Tech in a bowl game.
In 2003 LSU beat us quite badly and we kicked a FG with almost no time left to avoid being shut out.
Outside of that very few huge blowouts.
Shula teams were very good at scoring points in garbage time of soon to be blowouts to make the game look more competitive than they were though.
People remember the Utah game poorly. They came out on fire and opened up a quick 21-0 lead but for the next 2 quarters Alabama controlled the game and got it back to 21-17 with a quarter to go, most people still though Bama would win at that point, Utah then had a great 4th quarter to put it away.

It depends on what your definition of a blow out is. I have always defined it as anything 21 points or worse.

That game totally pissed me off.

That '01 LSU game, despite the ungodly amount of yardage they were putting up on us, was still tied 21-21 in the 3rd quarter. It was 28-21 going into the 4th quarter.

The last time I saw Bama look hopeless with no answers was against Carolina in 2010. That was a solid whopping from begining to end. It only ended up being a 2 td win, but felt way worse.
No answers is dead on. It's really the only time I can remember recently where they weren't able to regroup in the second half after a terrible first half. Jeffery dominated.

Yeah, that 2010 game baffled me. Dre got torn apart.

Bama fell behind 21-3 and it was 28-21 in the 4th quarter. So they did make a comeback.

It certainly didn't feel like it.
Sadly, I was at a bunch of the games mentioned in this thread. Not the SC game, though. I just suffered through it on TV.

They lost to South Carolina by 2 TDs, which is more embarrassing than losing by 30 to anyone else.
To add to that embarrassment was the fact that that Alabama team was as talented on both sides of the ball as any team Saban has had. Played like shite against a perennial whipping post. Saban's worst loss at Bama after ULM.
