I’m ok with Bama because way back in 19 and 77, we beat a Number 1-ranked Crimson Tide team, one with lots of All-Americans and a future NFL Hall-of-Famer, and coached by Bear Bryant. And I played very well. That’s a long time to give a sh*t about a game, lol! (And btw, I’m NOT a proud Husky, I’m a formerly proud Husker. There’s a big difference.)
Congratulations
Alabama came into Lincoln ranked #2 as Nebraska was still feeling the sting of the loss to Washington State and a rare absence from the polls. While the Crimson Tide slightly exceeded the Cornhuskers on offensive production, the 5-1 interception ratio and 25-17 first down edge each helped give Nebraska the edge to pull off the stunning upset.
