BCS National Championship: History Heavily Favors Texas over Alabama

Article By on 4th January, 2010

... I've never heard anyone say that. So hopefully, I just coined a phrase. But if history could buckle up a chin strap, it would be an All-American and play for Texas in Thursday's BCS National Championship. The Longhorns own a 7-0-1 record against Alabama, one of college football's most storied programs. The two teams first met in 1902, the first of three straight shutouts in favor of Texas (the others coming in 1915 and 1922). After a hiatus of more than two decades, the series resumed in the 1948 Sugar Bowl, which is where we pick up the story of the Alabama-Texas series, a limited but intense rivalry. *Special thanks to MackBrown-TexasFootball.com for their extensive archives and information.
