Alabama vs. Southern Miss used to be a near annual occurrence. However, Saturday’s game in Bryant-Denny will be only the second meeting between the two teams since 2005. Alabama football fans will remember that game from 2005 because of one play. Tyrone Prothro’s incredible catch behind the back of a USM defender.
Since the two teams first met in 1947 they have played a total of 43 games with Alabama holding a dominant record of 34-6-2. The mathematicians may be saying, “Wait a second that only adds up to 42 games” and you would be correct.
