re: Trivia Question: What was the last Alabama-LSU game not to be broadcast on free TV?

Interesting Alabama squad that year. 6 of their 7 wins they gave up less than 10 points on defense. In fact, of those 6 wins, they gave up 29 points total. They gave up 28 alone to a Vandy squad they beat by 21. Of those 7 wins, they gave up an average of 8.14 points on defense.

Their 4 regular season losses were by a combined 17 points which is an average of 4.25 points. Of those games, their average scoring was 13.25 and giving up 17.5.

Of the 4 regular season losses, the first 3 were by a combined 8 points. Their "worst" loss was an 0-9 loss to Penn State.

Of course, their worst loss of the season happened to be against one of Louisville's best teams of all time in the Fiesta Bowl; a UL squad that went 10-1-1 lead by former Miami national champion coach Howard Schnellenberger.

Not counting the Fiesta Bowl loss, that Alabama team sure looked better than a 7-4 regular season squad considering how all the games were relatively close, especially the losses.

It was also Stallings first year.
