Alabama upset the heavily favored Washington Huskies in the 1926 Rose Bowl, putting southern football on the map in the process. Funnily enough, had the Heisman Trophy existed in 1925-26, Washington's star player - George "Wildcat" Wilson - would have likely been its recipient that season.

History never repeats but it does rhyme.

Whatever man. Auburn had already won five or six national titles by then.

Apparently Albert Einstein was present at the game. Here he is posing with the Citadel marching band during the Rose Bowl parade.
