Alabama opened the season at the Rose Bowl Stadium against UCLA but before the sun set on the West Coast, the Bruins had knocked the Crimson Tide from its No. 3 ranking and started an ebb that would finally end with a 9-0 loss to Auburn on a cold and wet afternoon in Tuscaloosa.
In between the Tide hardly resembled the defending SEC Champions and a team picked to be a major player in the national title race. The only wins came against Vanderbilt, South Carolina and Ole Miss and the cries for a change in the staff became increasingly sharper each and every week of the season.
After the Tide lost to Central Florida on a Homecoming October afternoon, the decision was made to dismiss Mike DuBose and his staff, ending a tumultuous four-year run by the former Bama player who ended with a 24-23 overall record as the head coach. |

Notes: For the first time since 1969 Alabama lost to LSU in Tiger Stadium, ending one of the longest streaks in NCAA history. |
