We constantly talk about other teams being lucky at beating us, but let’s flip the argument just for once . What are some games in which Bama was lucky to win. Because there have been times in which Lady Luck just smiled on us or we pulled one out of our tail to win.
I got 4 in mind.
2018 Georgia SECCG- Fromm owned our defense all game, Tua was hurt and very ineffective, and we had two coordinators that had no clue of what to do. We were lucky that Kirby was the coach on the other side and not someone like Kiffin or Spurrier who would’ve kept throwing the ball to the TE until we proved we could stop it. Georgia really should have won that game, and it’s probably the worst Kirby blunder in his many.
2005/2009 Tennessee games- I couldn’t decide which one was more crazy because they are basically the same story in which Bama and Tennessee played to a snoozer and Tennessee is pretty much in the cat bird’s seat to win it late but something just crazy swings Alabama’s way to give us the victory.
2001 Iowa St: I still don’t understand how that ball wasn’t between the uprights. Nor do I understand how Alabama was even in the game after they outgained us by nearly 200 yards of total offense. While the 3 above are still cemented in Alabama lore, and I can think of more Lucky or very fortunate to win games Alabama has been on the winning side on, this one I still remember very well for some odd reason.
