I don't get the comparison.

We didn't block a kick in '66. UT missed it wide.

We didn't have the lead. UT did. We scored in the 4th to win...

 

[BigAl]

I thought we blocked/ or they missed a field goal on the last play of the game and we won 11-10. My memory must be fading.

They missed it. But, don't feel bad on the memory thing.

I've been trying to figure out what UT game we did block a FG to win...but, it never happened. Now, I'm wondering if it was Penn State?

LSU attempted a FG in '92 to tie, and we won after a block.

I think. :headscratch:

 

[Mosby]

Was it Penn State in '88 or '89 that we blocked a field goal to win?

 

[LBS]

Notice the CRIMSON and ORANGE jerseys?

 

[Crimson13Tide]

It was wide right. Doesn't matter though, had they kicked it straight we would have blocked it.

 

[BamaHeat]

Notice the CRIMSON and ORANGE jerseys?

Yes. In Moore's painting in 1962 it showed them too.

We DID block a Penn State field goal to win, but I don't know if it's the one you're thinking about. We were up "THERE", with a few seconds to go in the game. When we blocked said FG I yelled so loud that I set off my security system, and didn't even know it until I finally calmed down and heard going wup...wup...wup.. :hyper:

That sounds about right.

Man, that looks awesome....thanks a lot, Mal.

89 is the game at Penn St. "he blocked it Eli, he blocked it"




Bear made the comment about the UT kick being wide (paraphrasing)-

If he had kicked it straight we would have just blocked it anyway:bow:

 

[RollTideinGA]

Didnt Bama block a kick to win over UT in the 90's?

 

[psychojoe]

The 1990 game was tied late. We blocked their FG attempt to take the lead. The block sent the ball so far backwards that we were in FG position. Philip Doyle nailed the game winner.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

"Desperation Block" it was termed.
