Crimson Tide results
Men's tennis: Alabama traveled to Starkville to play in the Mississippi State Bulldog Invitational this weekend, and on day one the Crimson Tide recorded four singles wins and a doubles win. The Tide pair of Rudi Christiansen and Juan Martin only dropped one game en route to a doubles victory over Michigan's Ryan Fu and Patron Hanchaikul. Those two also recorded singles wins, along with Filip Planinsek and Patrick Kaukovalta.
Soccer: The Crimson Tide hosted No. 24 LSU, which had dropped two straight matches, and it was scoreless until the 85th minute. It was a defensive battle. But midfielder Reyna Reyes, the Mexican national, scored her second goal of the season with moments to spare to give Alabama its first win over a ranked opponent this season.
Cross country: Alabama traveled to South Bend, Indiana, to compete in the Joe Piane Invitational. The Crimson Tide women finished third while the men took sixth place. Top performers, however, were Mercy Chelangat, who won the five thousand-meter race, and freshman Flomena Asekol who finished in second behind her fellow Alabama runner.

October 2, 1925: Although Wallace Wade's Crimson Tide demolished Birmingham Southern in Tuscaloosa, 50-7, the seven points took on more significance than anyone expected. The touchdown and extra point yielded to the Panthers were the only points allowed by Alabama during the 1925 regular season. Alabama went on to clinch its first national title in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day, 1926, but the Tide offense had to rally to beat Washington 20-19. – Bryant Museum
