Video: Flashback: Alabama/Auburn 1975

[Slowpoke Catracho]

John Forney, Doug Layton, and Jerry Duncan on the call! Simply the BEST Bama announcing team ever!

Todd, Davis, Shelby, Newsome and Hannah for the Tide! This was Shug Jordan's last game at Auburn.

Really cool. The video quality isn't too bad either, considering it's from '75.

Barn defense allowed 70 completions going into the game and that was the most in the SEC.

Averaging seven completions per game allowed is the worst in the conference. Times have changed.

In the Wishbone ..... somebody is open somewhere down field which is why Ozzie Newsome was always able to thrive.

Johnny Davis. Did he ever lose a yard?

Jess Chabot has tons of great and rare football YouTube videos. Be sure and check his channel out.

Did I hear them say he was playing at 225?

That would have been a HUGE running back/full back even in those days when linemen averaged closer to 250 than 300.

No interceptions for 3 years. It’s crazy how offenses changed from pro set “passing” attacks In the 1960’s ( Scott Hunter averaged 220 yds/game passing in 1969) to triple option rushing attacks in the 70’s ( SEC leading passers averaged less than 7 completions/game and one QB averaged more than 100 yards /game at 109 In 1975).
