Alabama suffered close losses to LSU and Auburn in November but possibly the low point of the season was a 22-12 loss on Homecoming to Mississippi, Alabama's first ever loss to Mississippi in the state of Alabama. The Tide had zero yards passing in the game.[12]  Highlights included a victory over Penn State, Alabama's third straight win over Tennessee, and a come-from-behind 29-28 victory in the Sun Bowl over Army in which quarterback David Smith threw for 412 yards, an all-time bowl record for an Alabama quarterback.[13][14]

Alabama's road game against Texas A&M, originally scheduled for September 17, was postponed to December 1 when Coach Curry declined to make the trip, worried about oncoming Hurricane Gilbert. When Gilbert made landfall in Mexico and the weather in College Station was clear on gameday, A&M fans called Alabama's coach "Chicken Curry".[15]

The Lawyer from Ole Miss wrote the book " The Client" and it was after some great ones before. Maybe like a "A Time to Kill." RTR!
