Last week, I released the first half of my “2020: A Season to Reflect” series where I featured games corresponding with our opponents for the 2020 season. From the 2008 “Blackout Game” victory over Georgia in Athens to a legendary goal-line stand over Penn State in the Sugar Bowl, I showed you some of Alabama’s greatest moments. Here is the second conclusion to this two-part series.

If the day comes; however, that the season is canceled, I have set you up an Alabama football season from the past to reflect on some of the Crimson Tide’s best games. Each game corresponds with a 2020 opponent, and I have attached a YouTube video of the game for viewing.
