~-Alabama home game played at the Cramton Bowl in Montgomery; *-conference game; ^-Alabama home game played at Ladd Stadium in Mobile: #-Alabama home game played at
Legion Field in Birmingham; +-neutral site game played at Legion Field in Birmingham.
Head Coach: Harold “Red” Drew.
Assistant Coaches: Hank Crisp (line coach), Malcolm Laney (end coach), Tilden “Happy” Campbell (backfield coach), Lew Bostick (guard coach), James “Bubber” Nisbet (assistant
coach), Joe Kilgrow (freshman coach).

Notes: 1951 was the fourth losing season in Alabama school history, and the first since 1903. The Tide’s four-game losing streak from September 29th thru October 20th tied the
record for the longest losing streak in school history. The October 20th matchup with Tennessee was the first Alabama game ever shown on network television. Alabama did appear
in the second-ever known televised American sporting event in 1939 when they travelled to New York to play Fordham, but that was shown exclusively in New York City. The Tide’s
89-point victory over Delta State was UA’s 2nd-largest margin of victory in school history, second only to their 110-point margin over Marion Military in 1922.

to Georgia Tech and Auburn for the fourth straight year. The Tide also snapped a three-game winless streak against Southern Mississippi.

*-conference game; #-Alabama home game played at Legion Field in Birmingham; ^-neutral site game played at Legion Field in Birmingham; +-Bluebonnet Bowl played at Rice
Stadium in Houston, Texas (bowl game stats did not count in final team and individual stats before the 2002 season).
Head Coach: Paul “Bear” Bryant.
Assistant Coaches: Carney Laslie (AAD/AC), Jerry Claiborne (AHC), Pat James (DC), Phil Clutchin (OC), Eugene Stallings (SC), Charley Bradshaw (OLC), Sam Bailey (BC), Larry Hennessy (EC), Clem Gryska (AFC), Bob Ford (C&LB).

Notes: Alabama’s trip to the 1960 Bluebonnet Bowl was the Tide’s 14th bowl appearance in school history. The tie against Texas ran Alabama’s all-time bowl record to 7-5-2 and the
Crimson Tide remained winless all-time versus the Longhorns at 0-4-1. Alabama’s number five national ranking going into the week of September 24th was the Tide’s highest ranking since 1953, the same year as UA’s last SEC title. The Tide shut out rival Auburn for the second straight year, snapped a five-game winless streak against Vanderbilt, ran its all-time
record against Furman to 5-0-0, but remained winless versus Tennessee for the sixth straight season. Alabama’s defense only allowed 12 second half points all season.

*-conference game; #-Alabama home game played at Legion Field in Birmingham; ^-neutral site game played at Legion Field in Birmingham; ~-Orange Bowl played at the Orange
Bowl in Miami, Florida (bowl game stats did not count in final team and individual stats before the 2002 season).
Head Coach: Paul “Bear” Bryant.
Assistant Coaches: Phil Cutchin, Pat James, Gene Stallings, Dude Hennessey, Howard Schnellenberger, Elwood Kettler, Clem Gryska, Sam Bailey, Jim Blevins, Bobby Drake Keith.
Usual Lineup: Offense (Pro Set Base) - LE Richard Williamson, LT Butch Henry, LG Jimmy Wilson, C Lee Roy Jorday, RG Jimmy Sharpe, RT Charles Pell, RE Bill Battle, LH Cotton
Clarke, FB Eddie Versprille, QB Joe Namath, RH Butch Wilson. Specialists - P Ingram Culwell, PK Tim Davis.
Notes: A year after claiming the national championship, the 1962 version of the Alabama Crimson Tide came within a failed two-point conversion against Georgia Tech from having
a chance to repeat. UA posted its eighth 10-win season in school history. Alabama’s trip to the Orange Bowl was the Tide’s 16th bowl appearance in school history. The victory over
Oklahoma gave UA its ninth bowl win, and linebacker Lee Roy Jordan turned in a performance for the ages recording 31 tackles. President John F. Kennedy was in attendance in
Miami. Jordan was named consensus All-American. The Tide beat Mississippi State for the fifth straight time in 1962 and shut out Auburn for the fourth straight year. The loss to
Georgia Tech snapped a 26-game undefeated streak, a 19-game winning streak, and a 15-game conference winning streak for Alabama, all dating back to 1960.

*-conference game; ^-Alabama home game played at Ladd Stadium in Mobile; #-Alabama home game played at Legion Field in Birmingham; +-neutral site game played at Legion
Field in Birmingham; ~-Sugar Bowl played at Tulane Stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana (bowl game stats did not count in final team and individual stats before the 2002 season).
Head Coach: Paul “Bear” Bryant. Assistant Coaches: Carney Laslie, Sam Bailey, Pat James (AHC), Gene Stallings (DC), Howard Schnellenberger (OC), Dude Hennessy (Ends), Clem
Gryska, Jim Blevins, Ken Meyer, Dee Powell, Jimmy Sharpe, Charley Pell.

Eddie Versprille, QB Joe Namath, RH Ray Ogden. Specialists - P Buddy French, PK Tim Davis.
Notes: Alabama’s trip to the Sugar Bowl was the Tide’s 17th bowl appearance and its fifth consecutive. The victory over Mississippi gave UA its 10th bowl win, despite starting
quarterback Joe Namath being suspended for the game. It was also the first and only time the Tide has faced a fellow member of the SEC in a bowl game. Alabama had not played the
Rebels since 1944 even though they were in the same conference, and the win ran the Tide’s overall record against UM to 18-2-2. Halfback Benny Nelson was named All-American.
After losing to Florida, Alabama would not lose another game in their Tuscaloosa home until 1982, a streak of 57 games. The Tide ran their all-time record against Houston to 5-0-0
and beat Mississippi State for the sixth straight time in 1963.

1966. It was the Tide’s 10th conference title and fifth under head coach Paul “Bear” Bryant. It was also UA’s 11th undefeated regular season in school history and the fourth under
Bryant. The trip to Miami for the Orange Bowl was Alabama’s 25th bowl game overall and their 14th consecutive one. The loss extended the Tide’s bowl winless streak to five.

Head Coach: Ray Perkins. Assistant Coaches: Ken Donahue (AHC/DC/DL), George Henshaw (OC/RB), Jim Fuller (OL), Rockey Felker (WR), David Radar (QB), Steve Hale (TE/RC),
Mike DuBose (OLB), Sylvester Croom (ILB), Louis Campbell (DB), Al Miller (S&C), Rodney Stokes (ST). Usual Lineup: Offense (Multiple, Pro Set Base) - SE Clay Whitehurst, C Wes

Notes: Despite high expectations and a top ten preseason ranking, 1984 was the first losing season for Alabama since 1957. It was also the first time Alabama did not end its season
in a bowl since 1958. The loss to Vanderbilt snapped a streak of 26 straight homecoming victories for the Tide. UA shut out Penn State, handing the Nitany Lions their first shutout
loss since 1972. Also in that game, sophomore place kicker Van Tiffin hit a school-record 53-yard field goal. The season did end on a positive note, as the Tide defense posted a goalline stand with three minutes left to upset a heavily favored Auburn team to claim the Iron Bowl. Linebacker Cornelius Bennett was named first-team All-American.

#-Alabama home game played at Legion Field in Birmingham; *-conference game; ^-neutral site game played at Legion Field in Birmingham; +-Hall of Fame Bowl played at Tampa
Stadium in Tampa, Florida (bowl game stats did not count in final team or individual stats before the 2002 season).
Head Coach: Bill Curry. Assistant Coaches: Don Lindsey (AHC/ILB), Rip Scherer (AHC/QB), Mac McWhorter (AHC/OL), Tommy Bowden (WR), Andy Christoff (DB), Jim Fuller (OL),
John Guy (DE), Larry New (DL), Chip Wisdom (RB), John Thompson (OLB), Rich Wingo (S&C).
Notes: Bill Curry was named Alabama’s 20th head football coach on January 4, 1987. Curry came to Alabama after serving as head coach at Georgia Tech for seven years. All of
Alabama’s home games, including the A-Day spring game, were played at Legion Field in Birmingham due to stadium construction at Bryant-Denny Stadium. UA’s trip to the Hall
of Fame Bowl was the Tide’s 40th all-time bowl appearance. Alabama’s game at Penn State was CBS’s only prime time game of the season. Florida freshman running back Emmitt
Smith ran for 244 yards against the Tide defense, a school record performance. Jeff Dunn’s 90-yard touchdown completion to Pierre Goode versus Tennessee was the longest pass in
school history. The UPI named running back Bobby Humphrey the SEC Offensive Player of the Year and Curry the SEC Coach of the Year. Humphrey also finished 10th in the Heisman
Trophy balloting. Cornerback Gene Jelks was named Touchdown Club of Atlanta’s Collegiate Player of the Year.

*-conference game; #-Alabama home game played at Legion Field in Birmingham; ^-neutral site game played at Legion Field in Birmingham; +-Sun Bowl played at the Sun Bowl in El
Paso, Texas (bowl game stats did not count in final team or individual stats before the 2002 season).
Head Coach: Bill Curry. Assistant Coaches: Homer Smith (OC/QB), Don Lindsey (AHC/DC), Tommy Bowden (WR), Andy Christoff (DB), Jim Fuller (OL), John Guy (OLB/ST), Mac
McWhorter (OL/AA), Larry New (DL), Chip Wisdom (RB), Rich Wingo (S&C). Notes: 1988 was the year of Derrick Thomas. Number 55 was named to the first team of no less than
11 All-American teams, won the Butkus Award, and was named the SEC Athlete of the Year. Thomas was honored by both the Pigskin Club of Washington D.C. as well as the Birmingham Touchdown Club and finished 10th in the Heisman Trophy balloting. He also rewrote the Alabama record book in the sack category, breaking his own single-season record with
27 and 52 sacks in his Alabama career. The Crimson Tide’s game in College Station against Texas A&M was postponed from week 2 of the season to December 1 due to the threat
of Hurricane Gilbert. Mississippi spoiled the homecoming dedication of the Paul W. Bryant Museum, defeating the Tide for the first time ever in an Alabama home game. In that
game, UA was held without a completed pass for the first time since 1971. The Tide’s trip to the Sun Bowl was their 41st bowl game and 23rd bowl victory. It was also the first time
Alabama played a service academy. Safety Kermit Kendrick and offensive guard Larry Rose joined Thomas as All-Americans.

ever trip to Tempe. Alabama set a school record for most points in a half with 52 in the first half versus Vanderbilt. The Tide offense at one point went 18 straight quarters without a
touchdown and was shut out at Bryant-Denny Stadium for the first time since 1955, a span of 100 games. UA finished first nationally in pass defense, allowing just 82.47 ypg.

Assistant Coaches: Bruce Arians (OC/QB), Neil Callaway (OL), Curley Hallman (SEC), Ellis Johnson (DC/DL), Woody McCorvey (AHC/WR), Danny Pearman (DA/ST), Jeff Rouzie (LB), Dabo Swinney (TE), Ivy Williams (RB).

coach, Mike DuBose. It was the first losing season on the field for the Tide since 1984. The October 4th game in Lexington was historic for two reasons. It was the first overtime
game in Alabama school history and it was the first win for the Wildcats versus Alabama since 1922. The November 1st loss to Louisiana Tech was the first non-conference loss for
Alabama since the 1991 Fiesta Bowl loss to Louisville and the first homecoming loss for the Tide since 1990, when the Tide lost 9-0 to Penn State. UA was shutout for the first time
since the 35-0 loss at Florida in 1991 with the 27-0 loss to LSU. It was the first time UA had been held scoreless at home since the before mentioned Penn State game. Defensive end
Chris Hood was named second-team All-American and first-team All-SEC.
