Only thing I recall about that game was Coach Bryant's tongue lashing of the caller who asked if "he'd do anything different" if he could play the game again. :lol2: Title: Re: "Looking back at Alabama's stunning 6-3 loss to Mississippi State in 1980" Post by: SUPERCOACH on November 12, 2015, 09:21:32 AM :stop: Only thing I recall about that game was Coach Bryant's tongue lashing of the caller who asked if "he'd do anything different" if he could play the game again. :lol2: What did he say?

And we were good enough that year to win a NC again, were ranked #1, and had a 28-game winning streak. Bad things happen when you think you're too good to lose!

Seems like there was an issue where Hollingsworth was trying to call a time out right at the end of the game to stop the clock and we didn't have any and everything then got very chaotic on the play and we fumbled. I also think that we had a couple of downs left when we ran the running play and could have spiked the ball to stop the clock and have the one last play left.
We all thought we would have to fight our way out of the stadium but luckily all of their fans ran onto the field to celebrate.

I know the fans were going ballistic around us to get Hollingsworth to do anything to stop the clock. One more question, wasn't that the last time that Bama played there?

You mean under Coach Bryant?? No, the games were played in Jackson in 1982 and 1984 also.

Again, lots of cobwebs in the memory bank. Thanks for the info.

The QB that fumbled at the goal line as time expired was Don Jacobs from Scottsboro. |
