10:00 An interesting trivia point - this was the final year that fumbles could not be advanced by the defense, except if they were caught in the air. In 1992 the rule changed to match the NFL, where defenders could scoop a fumble and return it.
I remember this game well! I thought it was one of the best of Gene Stallings' career. Coming into this game Stallings was 8-6 at Alabama. He would not lose until November 1993 - 31 games unbeaten! Alabama's defense dominated this one after losing to FL 35-0 the week prior.
Yes. I thought 1991 as a whole was a great coaching job by Gene Stallings. The team was good, but wasn’t great, and they went 11-1. The only loss was in The Swamp to Florida, which is understandable. Florida was damn near impossible to beat in The Swamp under Spurrier. He only lost 3 conference home games in 12 seasons by 3, 1, and 2 points.
I was at that Florida game. The lowest moment I ever had as a fan. The damn game was in Gainesville. The walk back to our car, was gator fans at their absolute worst, not to mention them coming to the Alabama side and throwing beer and other, "Things" at and on us.
That was an electric night. My freshman year Curry was the coach🤮. 1990 was to Gene Stallings as 2007 was to Nick Saban, brutal. This game helped put Bama back on track for a natty in 1992. The salad days
I've proposed that the SEC add Oklahoma and Oklahoma State which would prompt a move of Alabama and Auburn into the East and Missouri to the West. While this would end annual Alabama VS. LSU games, it would allow the former to play Georgia annually.
Hopefully LSU-Alabama ends as a yearly series once Texas and Oklahoma join the SEC. LSU fans are irrational. They think this season is better than any season which did not win a national championship simply because of beating Alabama by one point in overtime.
@@DNSKansas it probably will, since the SEC is not going to divisions but is planning to protect three opponents for each team Alabama's would likely be Auburn (Iron Bowl), Tennessee (Third Saturday in October) and Mississippi State (closest pair of SEC universities to each other) this would come with 6 rotating opponents on a four year schedule being the tentative plan, but I want to see a rollback to 7 conference games across the P5 to allow more top notch OOC games and to protect certain rivalries that would otherwise be lost to realignment (like Bedlam) so I want four rotating opponents on a 6-year schedule for the SEC

Mark Jones is still with ABC/ESPN all these years later. One of my favorites, for sure.
And Tim Brandt on the color commentary. Brandt made things exciting with his descriptions.
Man it seems so much louder in Bryant Denny back then, and with less people, kids nowadays are just sitting on their hands.
MrDownWithTheSouth not as many night games then I don’t think.
@Joe Williams NO. It was Bryant Denny

They didn’t quite have the team speed like the 92 team did.

Palmer underutilized. Stallings O always played for the field goal once inside 30.
RIP Kevin Turner #24 UA
I miss that shade of helmet and jersey color.
Danny Woodson had a powerful arm...could really fire it in there...wish they'd let him throw it more.
3:08 Colorado VS. Stanford, a non-conference game in 1991, is now a Pac-12 game
KEVIN TURNER!!!!
Lol at “he can’t advance it. He can’t advance it. Bring IT BACK”! Pretty angry commentator.
The following year, that rule was changed!

Was Obama the president back then?
