UA’s college football history is impressive and formidable. With 14 National Championships and a total of 22 for SEC, Alabama Crimson Tide football is sustained by the indomitable spirit of its players year in and year out and of course, a recognizable brand of state pride that truly screams Alabama. It might be difficult for any hardcore fan to pick the best moments in Crimson Tide football history, especially for those who are familiar with every single bowl they’ve played and consequently won, but some statistics and game details or highlights clearly reflect beyond doubt that UA has one of the best college athletic teams anywhere and across sport categories.

Here are some of the most memorable ones:
2010 BCS National Championships
This exciting 37-21 win over the Longhorns is surely one for the books. The 14-0 SEC record before BCS was already something to be proud of on its own. The Tide’s 13th championship was won by a team of future NFL drafts like Ingram, Richardson, Dareus, and others. From Ingram’s two-yard run for the initial lead to the eventual two 4th-quarter touchdowns that locked in the win.
1993 Sugar Bowl
After the Hurricanes said something about the inferiority of SEC before the game, the Tide’s 34-13 win felt even sweeter a victory than ever. The formidable Hurricane record of zero defeats since 1990 was dramatically ended by Alabama in this unforgettable game.
1926 Rose Bowl
The first time is almost always the one that leaves the most notable mark. This first national championship title for the Tide against the Huskies was earned from a really tight game. The 20-19 win over Washington only started building in the 3rd quarter.
