A 33-0 romp over Georgia on Thanksgiving Day, 1924, successfully completed Alabama's first official championship season. In being awarded the Southern Conference title, Alabama had successfully climbed to the top of its region in football. Only a distressing loss to Centre College impeded a perfect season but 8-1 and the championship certainly sufficed.
Backs Johnny Mack Brown and Pooley Hubert teamed with guards Bill Buckler and Ben Compton on the All-Southern Conference team. Georgia entered the season finale that year as the No. 1 team in the South and the tough Bulldog defense had yielded but 14 points for the entire season. Two TD passes by Hubert, two field goals by Compton and a 65-yard interception return for a TD by Brown sparked the Bama rout. |
