On this date in Crimson Tide history:
September 20, 1986: Running back Bobby Humphrey rushed for 114 yards, and Alabama outgained Florida on the ground 223-42 during the Crimson Tide's stunning 21-7 win in Gainesville. The Gators had taken a 7-0 halftime lead, but Ray Perkins’ team completely dominated the second half in the first meeting between the programs since 1979.
Crimson Tide quote of the day:
“If you think there is such a thing as an unimportant game, just try losing one.” – Gene Stallings
