Title: "ALABAMA FOOTBALL: Highlights and Postgame Notes for win over Arkansas" Post by: Chechem on September 16, 2012, 06:22:55 AM http://capstonereport.com/2012/09/15/alabama-football-highlights-and-postgame-notes-for-win-over-arkansas/17689/
Quote SEC OPENERS: With the win at Arkansas, Alabama has posted a 55-21-3 on-the-field record in Southeastern Conference openers dating back to the league’s inception in 1933. The Crimson Tide has won 21 straight SEC openers, dating back to the 1992 season. The streak began with a 25-8 win over Vanderbilt on Sept. 5, 1992. The 21-game winning streak includes 12 wins over Vanderbilt (1992-2001, 2006-07), six wins against Arkansas (2002, 2008-12) and one win against Kentucky (2003), Mississippi (2004) and South Carolina (2005). The last time Alabama lost a SEC opener was Sept. 14, 1991, when Florida beat Alabama 35-0 in Gainesville. The 21-game winning streak in SEC openers is the longest streak in school history and the longest active streak in the SEC. The 2012 season marked the seventh time since divisional play began that Alabama has opened its SEC slate with a Western Division team. That also happened in 2002 (Arkansas), 2004 (Mississippi) and the last five years against (Arkansas)... Good review, good observations about history and records, and good highlight video.

The five touchbacks are a career high for Foster and equal the entire amount tallied from last season by the Crimson Tide."
Note: Kickoffs have been moved up to the 35 yard line this season. :-[ Title: Re: "ALABAMA FOOTBALL: Highlights and Postgame Notes for win over Arkansas" Post by: ricky023 on September 16, 2012, 03:01:18 PM Records, records and more records. Let's just count Championships, lol. RTR!

I am so proud for Foster and for the life of me, I can't figure out what he has changed to put the ball in the end zone with this consistency. #+ Note: Kickoffs have been moved up to the 35 yard line this season. :-[ |
