- This is the 11/27/1971 Auburn vs Alabama game. Both teams came in undefeated and untied. Auburn was led by Heisman Winner Pat Sullivan. Alabama by Tailback Johnny Musso. Auburn had won a Huge Rivalry Matchup the week before beating Undefeated Georgia in Athens. Alabama was clearly the better team on this day as The Tide Rolled in the second half. It set up a National Championship Showdown in The Orange Bowl with Nebraska. The second half is narrated film. I claim no rights.
For many years, the Bryant Museum at The University of Alabama sought the actual television footage of this game. All they had was the team's game film, what was used on the The Bear Bryant Show. That is where the narrated film of the second half comes from. If there is a complete copy of the Television broadcast, I hope it can be given to them. This was a truly historic game, the most important ever played in the series. The Alabama sports media (whch trends toward an Auburn bias) tends to start historic discussions about the Alabama-Auburn game with the following year's game because of it's freak ending. But they overlook the most significant game ever played between the two teams. This is Alabama's greatest win in the series and Auburn's most crushing defeat. Alabama's joy was somewhat dampened by the drubbing the team got at the hands of Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. But it completed Alabama's and Coach Paul W. "Bear" Bryant's restoration to greatness from the depths of mediocrity to which they had fallen.
Yeah. They started losing and said shit we have to recruit those colored boys. Alabama media having an Auburn bias😂😂😂😂😂
My first Bama Aub game...been to 53 straight. This was a huge game--only time in modern times for both teams to be unbeaten/untied and top four ranking. Tide ran away with it in second half.
Wow! Keep these gems coming.
This game my parents made a bet. If allbarn won, my mother would raise my older brother up as an allbarn fan. If Alabama won, my brother would be raised as an Alabama fan….
😂
THANK YOU so much! I’ve been requesting this video for YEARS. I like the original telecasts much more than the narratives. I wish we could have had the 2nd half of telecast, but I’ll take this!
Nice and clear, great job!
shug jordan was involved in the d-day invasion and fought at the battle of the bulge. i don't even want to know some of the stuff he saw. bear respected the hell out of him.
My dad and me sat in the North End Zone.
fantastic quality. very enjoyable and I just immersed myself into the memories. I was 11 years old then.
Anyone else notice that there’s one maybe two commercials, then right back to the game! Now days, commercials are 2 minutes and 50 seconds long and it feels like 12 per game.
Thank you for this video! It’s like discovering a lost treasure.
Thank you so much Jess for posting this game!!!!!
Ive been looking for this game for years!!! Thank you so much for posting this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀
Never too old or late to be proud of a Tide win, especially over aubarn! ROLL TIDE ROLL!🏈🐘🏆💪🙌👏👏‼️
Johnny Musso was my favorite player when i was a kid. Never understood why he didnt go to NFL.
@@rob_taylor7 thanks for the info! I remember being in the 2nd grade and watching him on tv. My grandad was the biggest Bear Bryant fan I've ever known, so we all watched Bama football back then. Johnny Musso was the reason i wanted to play Pop Warner football
He played in the CFL a few years, and might have started for the Bears but think they had Walter Payton.
I watched this game as a 13 year old on a small black and white TV. At the same time, I was playing my vibrating football game that pitted the blue and yellow team against the red and white team. Red and white won.
Thank you
Thank you for posting an ABC game from 1971. I would love to see the ABC telecast of the Ed Marinaro Cornell game from November 1971 when they played Dartmouth if you have it. Thank you.
Roll tide
It's great to see the original telecast! It would be nice to see the second half, but at least the game film was available. ROLL TIDE!!!
