Locations of Alabama and Southern Miss

The Alabama–Southern Miss football rivalry is an American college football rivalry between the Alabama Crimson Tide football team of the University of Alabama and Golden Eagles of the University of Southern Mississippi.

Notable games[edit]

  • 1947:The Crimson Tide would roll the Southerners 34–7 in Harold Drew first game as Head Coach of Alabama.[2]
  • 1953: The Southerners stund #5 Alabama in Montgomery 25–19 for their first win in the series. [3]
  • 1968: The #7 Crimson Tide would use 10 unanswered points in the 4th quarter to come from behind and beat Southern Miss 17–14 in the last Alabama home game ever at Ladd–Peebles Stadium in Mobile, AL.[4]
  • 1980: For the first time ever, both teams would enter the game ranked as #1 Alabama would roll past #20 Southern Miss 42–7.[5]
  • 1982: Southern Miss would upset #17 Alabama 38–29 in Bear Bryant last game at Bryant–Denny Stadium. The loss also snapped Alabama 57 game home winning streak at Bryant–Denny Stadium dating back to 1963.[6]
  • 1987: Alabama opened the Bill Curry era with a 38–6 win over Southern Miss.[7]
  • 1990: Brett Favre and Southern Mississippi would spoil Gene Stallings debut as Alabama head coach with a 27–24 upset of the #13 Crimson Tide.[8]
  • 2000: #25 Southern Miss, used a pick six and a scoop and score to shut out #15 Alabama 21–0. This is the last time to date that Southern Miss has beaten Alabama. [9]
  • 2001: This game was originally to have been played on September 15, 2001; however, as a result of the September 11 attacks, the game was postponed and subsequently played on November 29, a Thursday night, at Legion Field. Although mired in rainy and windy conditions, Alabama would avenge its shutout loss from a year ago beating Southern Miss 28–15. This would be the last time this game would be played at Legion Field in Birmingham, AL.[10]
  • 2005: After going down 21–17 at halftime, the Crimson Tide came-from-behind and defeated the Golden Eagles 30–21[11] however, this game is remembered with having the catch of the year in college football. On Alabama's final offensive possession of the fist half, Tyrone Prothro made one of the most memorable receptions in Alabama history. On a fourth-and-twelve, Croyle threw a 42-yard pass that Prothro caught on the back of Golden Eagles cornerback Jasper Faulk.[12] Prothro had to wrap his right arm around Faulk's neck and his left arm under Faulk's right armpit to catch the ball (which appeared on replays to be blocked from his view by Faulk), and then he had to maintain possession of the ball until his knee touched down at the one-yard line. Referred to as simply The Catch, the play won the 2006 Best Play ESPY Award.[13]
