Rankings from AP Poll

The 2007 Alabama Crimson Tide football team represented the University of Alabama for the 2007 NCAA Division I FBS football season trying to improve from a disappointing 6–7 record in the 2006 season. The Tide was led by its new head coach Nick Saban, a former head coach of rival LSU. Despite a strong 6–2 start, they finished out the season by losing four of their final five games. The team closed the regular season at 6–6 (4–4, SEC) and lost for a sixth-straight time to rival Auburn. The Tide defeated Colorado in the 2007 Independence Bowl 30–24 to finish their first season under Nick Saban at a 7–6 (4–4) record, however two years later the first five wins of the season were vacated as part of a penalty placed against Alabama by the NCAA for infractions committed during the season.

Before the season

During the 2006–2007 campaign, the Crimson Tide completed a 6–6 regular season record.[1] Following their loss to Auburn in the Iron Bowl, head coach Mike Shula was subsequently fired on November 27 after four years with the program.[2] At that time athletic director Mal Moore announced defensive coordinator Joe Kines would serve as interim head coach for the Independence Bowl.[2] The Tide went on to lose their final game against Oklahoma State (34–31) in the Independence Bowl to finish with a 6–7 record.[1]

Returning starters

Alabama had 18 returning starters from the previous season, including nine on offense, five on defense, and four on special teams.[3] The most notable departures from the previous year were Kenneth Darby and Le'Ron McClain on offense and Dominic Lee, Jeremy Clark, Juwan Simpson, Terrence Jones, Jeffrey Dukes and Ramzee Robinson on defense.[3]

The Crimson Tide offense returned all three quarterbacks at the top of the depth chart, including starter John Parker Wilson. The entire starting offensive line returned, anchored by freshman All-American Andre Smith, along with reinforcements by the top four tight ends from the 2006 depth chart.[3] Alabama's receiving unit was led by its wide receivers D. J. Hall, who broke nearly every Alabama-receiving record in school history in 2006.[3] The Alabama defense returned five starters in 2007, based on the 3–3–5 scheme that was run in 2006. The Tide in 2007 had a new starting nose tackle, outside linebacker, strongside linebacker, cornerback, and a starting safety.[3]

Kickoff against the Rebels

In an unexpected offensive showcase, the Alabama managed to defeat the Ole Miss Rebels 27–24 in Oxford.[50][51] Leigh Tiffin opened the scoring with a 27-yard field goal to give the Crimson Tide a 3–0 lead.[52] The Rebels responded with an eight-yard Dexter McCluster touchdown reception from Seth Adams to take a 7–3 lead at the end of the first quarter.[52] In the second quarter Alabama scored a pair of touchdowns with the first coming on a two-yard Glen Coffee run and the second on a one-yard John Parker Wilson run.[52] Ole Miss added a 22-yard Joshua Shene field goal and Alabama was up 17–10 at the half.[52]

Ole Miss took a 24–17 lead into the fourth quarter following a pair of touchdowns in the third. Adams scored on a three-yard run then connected with Mike Hicks for a 17-yard touchdown reception in the period.[52] The Crimson Tide then mounted a fourth quarter comeback. Terry Grant scored on a three-yard run and Tiffin kicked the game winning field goal from 24 yards with 5:14 remaining in the game.[52] Ole Miss attempted to score on their last drive to either force the game into overtime with a field goal or win with a touchdown. With a fourth-and-22 on Alabama's 45-yard line, Adams completed a pass to Shay Hodge at the 3-yard line.[52] However, the call was reviewed and then reversed after Nick Saban called a timeout to give the officials more time to look at the replay.[51] John Parker Wilson was 26 for 40 and threw an interception and no touchdowns. The defense was able to force three interceptions on the day.[50] The victory improved Alabama's all-time record against the Rebels to 41–9–2 (45–8–2 without NCAA vacations and forfeits).

In the week following the Independence Bowl victory, several changes were made to the Alabama coaching staff.

Final statistics

After their victory over Colorado in the Independence Bowl, Alabama's final team statistics were released. On the defensive side of the ball, of the 119 FBS schools Alabama ranked 28th in rushing defense (124.15 yards per game), 27th in scoring defense (22.00 points per game), 31st in total defense (345.46 yards per game) and 48th in passing defense (221.31 yards per game).[83] Individually, Rashad Johnson led the team with 94 total tackles, 57 solo tackles and 37 assisted tackles.[84] Wallace Gilberry was 23rd nationally, third in conference and first on the team with 10 quarterback sacks.[85] Gilberry was also third nationally, first in conference and first on the team with 22 tackles for loss.[86] Rashad Johnson led the team with six of Alabama’s nineteen total interceptions of the season.[87]

On offense, of the 119 FBS teams, Alabama ranked 59th in passing offense (224.54 yards per game), 60th in rushing offense (149.23 yards per game), 64th in scoring offense (27.08 points per game) and 75th in total offense (373.77 yards per game).[83] In conference, they ranked sixth in passing offense, seventh in total offense and scoring offense and eighth in rushing offense.[83] Individually, Terry Grant led the team offensively with 891 total yards rushing for an average of 81 rushing yards per game and 8 rushing touchdowns.[88] John Parker Wilson led the team in passing offense and completed 255 of 462 passes for 2,846 passing yards and 18 touchdowns.[89] D.

NCAA sanctions

In October 2007, the athletic department discovered a potential NCAA-violation present throughout the athletics program.[94] The violations stemmed from athletes from several sports, including football, receiving improper benefits as a result of a failure in the distribution system of textbooks to student athletes from the university.[94] As a result of this discovery, Antoine Caldwell, Marlon Davis, Glen Coffee, Marquis Johnson and Chris Rogers were suspended from the team prior to the Tennessee game on October 20.[95] After a prolonged investigation, in June 2009 the NCAA ruled all athletes that received improper benefits related to the textbook distribution system were deemed ineligible.[96] As such, as part of the penalties imposed on the football program, all victories which those included in the inquiry participated, were officially vacated from the all-time record.[96] The penalty to vacate victories does not result in a loss (or forfeiture) of the affected contests or award a victory to the opponent.[97] As such, all five victories from the 2007 season prior to the suspension of the ineligible players on October 20 (Western Carolina, Vanderbilt, Arkansas, Houston and Ole Miss) were vacated making the official record for the season two wins and six losses (2–6).[13][96]
