1967-70 were some pretty sucky years for Bama Football. The worst stretch under Bear.

I guess that is what confused me about the OP. USC curb stomped Alabama that year as did Ole Miss but the Bear says the worst "physical beating ever" was a 14-9 loss.
1970 was a strange year. OM beats the crap out of Alabama, then LSU beats Alabama, MSU beats an Archie"less" OM then LSU beats OM like 6,100 to 17 (embellish here) with Archie in a cast.
