re: Who was the best College Football Team Alabama ever played against.

Imo, Nebraska 1971.
Yep, I agree. I watched the game on TV and they just destroyed us from the start; also watched Nebraska whip Oklahoma 35-31 in the 'Game of the Century' that year as well, one of the best games I've ever seen. That Nebraska squad was the only team in poll history that defeated the teams that finished #2, #3, and #4 in the final AP Poll...
After they spanked us in the '72 Orange Bowl 38-6 (we were undefeated and ranked #2 at the time), this was Bear's response:
Paul (“Bear”) Bryant said tonight that Nebraska's Cornhuskers “toyed” with his Alabama football team and he shouldered the blame for the Crimson Tide's worst bowl beating.
“We were beaten soundly by a far superior football team. Their team was much better prepared, too, than ours,” a dejected Bryant said in the Alabama dressing room after Nebraska's 38-6 rout of the Tide in the Orange Bowl game.
“Actually, most of the time they just toyed with us,” said Bryant. “They were one of the greatest, if not the greatest, I have ever seen.”

LSU. Louisiana has good high school talent and no competition for recruiting form other in-state schools...

Was this a pick or a catch?
During the 2014 Iron Bowl where a similar play happened, the announcers stated that if it's judged that both have possession of the ball but both are in the air, the player who lands first with a foot inbounds is considered the possessor...not sure if that's the actual rule or not though...

re: Before Last Night, Who Was the Last SEC QB to Have Five Interceptions in One Game?

Jeff Rutledge threw 5 interceptions all year in 1977…and all 5 came in a single game…Bama lost an away game at Nebraska (31-24), their only loss that year…

but Talty just barely missing a long FG attempt (over 50 yds) is no reason to diss the young man.
Especially considering Simpson took a sack the play before that made it about 7 yards longer than it should’ve been…
Both of his kicks were right on line so I’m hoping that’s a good sign…
re: Why didn't we roll.milroe out last year and let him take 15 yard drop backs.
Posted by OldPete on 8/31/25 at 5:55 am to FairhopeTider
From what I saw yesterday, it appears to me that Ty doesn’t throw well on the run, at least when it’s not a designed play. With this offensive line, that’s a problem…

There is absolutely no threat of a pass rush
Yep, we’re weak in the trenches; no pass rush and we can’t stop a pass rush…
The only thing worse than our O-line is our D-line…
No pass rush, no one is staying home. Malzahn relies on misdirection, gotta stay home and seal the edges; if not, gonna be a long game…
Auburn, Tennessee, LSU

Why are they scared and why is the SEC trying to protect them?
In 2010, Bama played 6 SEC teams coming off a bye week. If you wanna be top dog in the SEC, better learn to live with that target on your back...

We lost to Pavia once. Auburn loss to Pavia twice in a row and your coach has loss to Pavia three straight times...think y'all had more motivation to buy him than we did...

Last two games, we can't seem to get off the blocks. We played Auburn even for the last 38-and-a-half minutes of the game and we lost by 9. We played Mizzou even for the last 37 and a half minutes of the game, and we lost by 12. We can't afford to start games in a 9-0 or 12-0 hole in the opening couple of minutes against good/great teams and still expect to win...
