Alabama’s 34-24 loss to Texas on Saturday night was its worst at home in the 17-year tenure of head coach Nick Saban.

The Crimson Tide had never lost by double-digits at Bryant-Denny Stadium under Saban; in fact, it had never lost by more than seven. Both LSU and Louisiana-Monroe beat Alabama by a touchdown in Tuscaloosa in 2007, which was Saban’s first season.

Before Saturday, Alabama had not lost by 10-plus points at home since Oct. 2, 2004, a 20-3 defeat to South Carolina. That game came with Mike Shula as head coach and was two weeks after star quarterback Brodie Croyle suffered a season-ending knee injury.

Third-ranked Alabama saw its 21-game home win streak end on Saturday, with its last loss at Bryant-Denny to LSU in 2019. The Crimson Tide also lost a non-conference, regular-season home game for the first time since the 2007 ULM game.

No. 11 Texas also made some history in the game, recording its first road victory over a Top 3-ranked team since it beat No. 2 Arkansas 15-14 in Fayetteville on Dec. 6, 1969. That win catapulted the top-ranked Longhorns to a national championship.

The win was also Texas’ first over Alabama since it won 14-12 in the 1982 Cotton Bowl. The Longhorns improved to 8-2-1 all-time vs. the Crimson Tide but had lost their last two in the series — 37-21 in the 2010 BCS national championship game and 20-19 last year in the regular season.
