Expectation levels had escalated to such a zenith in Tuscaloosa that Bama fans were ill-prepared for a rebuilding season and that's how the 9-3 year was evaluated. Prior to the season, Coach Bryant had admonished the fans and the media the Tide was not as high as it had been in previous seasons but his warnings went unheard until early season losses to Ole Miss and Georgia proved the coach prophetic.
A win over Tennessee on national television, a come-from-behind clipping of Miss. State, and conference victories over LSU and Auburn earned Bama a shot at powerful UCLA in the Liberty Bowl. Despite being decisive underdogs, the Tide rolled to an early 24-0 lead and finally won it going away 36-6. Sophomore Barry Krauss was the game's MVP and no doubt Bama enhanced its momentum for the stretch run of the 1970s. Defensive tackle Bob Baumhower and end Ozzie Newsome earned All-American honors. |

Notes: Coach Bryant didn't get to celebrate his 63rd birthday. The Tide lost 10-7 in Jackson on the Coach's "turning of the calendar." |
