The Tide had zero yards passing in the game.[12] Highlights included a victory over Penn State, Alabama's third straight win over Tennessee, and a come-from-behind 29-28 victory in the Sun Bowl over Army in which quarterback David Smith threw for 412 yards, an all-time bowl record for an Alabama quarterback.[13][14] Alabama's road game against Texas A&M, originally scheduled for September 17, was postponed to December 1 when Coach Curry declined to make the trip, worried about oncoming Hurricane Gilbert. When Gilbert made landfall in Mexico and the weather in College Station was clear on gameday, A&M fans called Alabama's coach "Chicken Curry".[15] Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alabama_Crimson_Tide_football,_1980%E2%80%931989 Quote Date Opponent# Rank# Site Result Attendance September 10* at Temple #14 Veterans Stadium • Philadelphia, PA W 37-0 28,680 September 24 Vanderbilt #13 Bryant-Denny Stadium • Tuscaloosa, AL W 44-10 70,123 October 1 at Kentucky #12 Commonwealth Stadium • Lexington, KY W 31-27 53,442 October 8† Ole Miss #12 Bryant-Denny Stadium • Tuscaloosa, AL L 12-22 70,123 October 15 at Tennessee Neyland Stadium • Knoxville, TN W 28-20 93,025 October 22* Penn State Legion Field • Birmingham, AL W 8-3 75,962 October 29 at Mississippi State #19 Davis Wade Stadium • Starkville, MS W 53-34 41,088 November 5 #13 LSU #18 Bryant-Denny Stadium • Tuscaloosa, AL L 18-19 70,123 November 12* Louisiana-Lafayette #18 Legion Field • Birmingham, AL W 17-0 66,537 November 25 vs. #7 Auburn #17 Legion Field • Birmingham, AL L 10-15 75,962 December 1* at Texas A&M #20 Kyle Field • College Station, TX W 30-10 59,152 December 24* vs. Army #20 Sun Bowl Stadium • El Paso, TX (Sun Bowl) W 29-28 48,719 Title: Re: Time Capsule 1988 Post by: Marshal Dillon on April 23, 2011, 08:49:09 PM Soviet Army begins withdrawl from Afghanistan in May 1988.
