Game summaries
Vanderbilt Shaun Alexander scored the final two touchdowns in the 4th quarter to rally Alabama to a season opening road win over Vanderbilt. Houston Alabama had over 500 yards of offense for just the second time in the Mike DuBose era, and won convincingly over Houston. Louisiana Tech Back-up quarterback Brian Stallworth found Sean Cangelosi in the end zone with two seconds left as Louisiana Tech upset Alabama for the second time in three years. Arkansas Despite turning the football over six times, Alabama managed to hold on and upset No. 14 Arkansas at Bryant-Denny Stadium. This was the first time under Mike DuBose that Alabama beat a ranked opponent at home. Florida The Crimson Tide snapped No. 3 Florida's 30-game winning streak at The Swamp when Chris Kemp got a second chance on an extra-point attempt in overtime and drilled it. Ole Miss Despite having a 27–7 lead midway through the third quarter, Alabama had to hold on late to beat Ole Miss. This win extended Alabama win streak to 3 games in a row, the longest since 1996. Tennessee For the first time since 1930, the Third Saturday in October would be in Tuscaloosa. Despite having the largest crowd ever to watch a football game in the state of Alabama to date, The Crimson Tide could not generate enough offense to beat Tennessee. This gave the Volunteers their fifth win in a row against Alabama. Southern Miss Behind the Alabama defense who would hold Southern Miss to -13 yards rushing, Alabama would generate enough points with a pick six and a punt return to beat Southern Miss for the eight year in a row. LSU The 1999 version of a Goal Line stand as Alabama would deny LSU quarterback Josh Booty of a potential game winning touchdown run by knocking him down six inches short of the end zone to win. Mississippi State With the help of three Mississippi State interceptions, Alabama would end their three-game losing streak to the Bulldogs and be one win away from winning the SEC West. Auburn Shaun Alexander scored all three of Alabama touchdowns in the fourth quarter as the Crimson Tide rallied back for the second year in a row to beat Auburn. This would also be the first time Alabama won at Jordan-Hare Stadium. With the win, Alabama clinched the SEC West for the first time since 1996. Florida Alabama used 34 unanswered points to beat Florida for the second time in 1999. This would be the Crimson Tide's first SEC Championship since 1992. Michigan Despite holding a 14-point lead in the third quarter, Alabama could not hold on and would lose in overtime on a missed extra point by Ryan Pflugner. ==Personnel==
