We had no idea about him. We were expecting Mallet.

Same thing happened when South Carolina brought in Shaw against us. And Louisville with Lamar Jackson and even Texas AM in 2014 I think with a new kid.

All spanked our defense. The only game we lost was the AM game but we lost that one. They didn’t win it.

Fumbled snaps and all.

About the only thing positive about that game was we knew what we had after Mallett. We had an idea but we knew after that game. Sucks he didn't get a chance to have a real coach his senior year.

The one football player that stands out to me was the back-up South Carolina QB in 2000 that beat us with about a 25 yard TD over Kendall Roberson on 4th down late in the 4th quarter. I had never heard of him before or since that day. Talk about random.

Auburn at Florida 2002.

I remember Ronnie Brown coming off the bench in the 2nd quarter to replace Cadillac Williams when he broke his leg and I was thinking, this guy is better than Cadillac. He ran for 163 yards and 2 TD's and caught a 54 yard TD pass. Auburn came back from a 16 point deficit in the 4th quarter and had a 23 yard FG to win in regulation, but it was blocked by 6'6" DE Bobby McCray.

Fla lucked up in OT and won on a 25 yard pass that Rex Grossman let go of right as he was flattened. Even though we won it felt like a loss during the whole 4th quarter.

Brown had been a bench warmer but after this game they split carries when Cadillac got healthy and were one of the best backfield duos of all time.

What about backup coaching option?

If so, I submit Ed Orgeron.

I’m going to have to agree with others and say Tre Smith. That game I thought we would for sure snap the streak and the planets were aligning. Tre single handedly fricked that up.

Another to consider even though he didn’t come in because of injuries DURING the game but 12 freakin Gauge at OSU hurt me bad and had me in a closet sucking my thumb in fetal for several weeks after that game.

I'm going back to when Spurrier was a jr QB in 1965 and we played AU at the plains...which back then was always a L and it was no exception.

I watched it on color TV which (don't laugh, its true) were not common at all...We were leading until backup QB from AU, Alex Bowden threw a 64 or so yd TD pass to take the lead late 21-17 and a fumble later score a TD to finish it 28-17.

All of them the last 20 years or so.

So sick of seeing backup QBs or RBs come in and just dominate us like we were a 7th grade team.

Deep cut: Brian Stallworth.

Tim Rattay's backup at Louisiana Tech in 1999 when Alabama lost to La Tech for the second time in the Dubose era. In the era before every game was on basically national TV, dunno if a lot of people actually saw the game, so easy to forget: Tim Rattay had gotten hurt in the final minute.

Rattay had torched the Alabama defense for 360+ passing yards that day. (While bama had passed for only 104.) Tech had taken the lead early in the 4th quarter but a Shaun Alexander touchdown and field goal had Bama clinging to a 6 point lead late when Rattay was injured.

Brian Stallworth comes in and goes 2-2 for 31 yards including the game winning touchdown to Shane Cangelosi in the corner of the end zone: Video

Stallworth would go on to take over the job the following year only to blow out his knee early in the season and never throw another college pass, throwing less than 200 total in his career, this pass one of 10 touchdowns he ever threw.

But he'll always have that day at Legion Field when they beat the team that would go on to be SEC Champs. Dubose man, smh.

Bama at one point was trailing 15-3 in the game and Shaun Alexander, along with Chris Samuels literally the only thing that team really had going for it on offense, ran the fricking kick back. He wasn't even usually in to return kicks. Shortly after scored two more touchdowns on the ground to seemingly put the game out of reach. Greatness. Another thing that gets easily forgotten about that game.

That guy was good man. Only reason that Bama team was able to be anywhere near Atlanta that year. Feels like a lifetime ago.
