Of course the football gods would send Alabama to the Rose Bowl on January 1, 2026...

Everyone’s on the fricking ground

Roll Tide!

100 years of setting the standard.

Its where our tradition of winning championships all began. Bear Bryant listened to that game on the radio and said I want to play for Bama. Without that game we dont get him. It changed everything for us.

Here come the SOONERS

I met a guy that played in that game. Wu Winslett. I was 16 and he was in his 70s. I missed a deer while hunting and he paddled me according to tradition of the camp we were at. Etched in my memory forever.

Probably short yardage situation, ever hear of the old adage in football, get lower to the ground and you gain the leverage?

With all these modern big fat boys its about holding a position on the OL but at that time especially on short yard situation, it was about getting under your opponent, you could take his legs out, and thus the runner could 1-3 yards, that is what you see above.

Go look at the 1978 (1979 Sugar Bowl) with Alabama vs. Penn. St. on the Goal Line Stand that won a national title, both teams were down so low, the D-Linemen took out the O-Line going low, which allowed the Linebackers to make the game winning tackle. You still see this in the Pros on on 3rd or 4th and 1 at the goal line if a team is in I Formation.

The reason young people have never seen this is the stupid pistol/shotgun formation. Give me old school football any day.

That was the tenth straight carry for number 10 on the series.
Pooley Hubert scored to put the game away.
Roll Tide

Didn't Hubert end his career as a HS coach in GA?
