Alabama Football returns to Bryant-Denny Saturday to face Southern Mississippi. The schools have played frequently going back to 1947. The Alabama Crimson Tide has played the Golden Eagles more times than it has the Florida Gators. The series record is heavily in favor of the Tide at 37-5-2.
Alabama Football has a seven-game winning streak over USM and has won 16 of the last 17 games. The one loss was a stunning one in the 2000 season. Lovers of Alabama Football history regretfully remember the 1982 game. It was Bryant’s last in Tuscaloosa and a loss.
