We are now 95 years before kickoff and will look back again, this time to Alabama’s first Rose Bowl.
Wallace Wade was in his first season as the Alabama coach and led his team to a 10-0 record in regular season play, earning the first Rose Bowl invitation for a southern team in Rose Bowl history. The Tide would face the Washington Huskies, and were given little chance at pulling the upset.
Natalie Williams of AL.com wrote about the game a few years ago.
Washington, which entered the game with a 10-0-1 record, was a heavy favorite.
