The Frank Thomas Era officially commenced at Alabama and the former Notre Dame roommate of Irish immortal George Gipp quickly proved the "Box Formation" was the offense of the 1930s. Alabama finished 9-1 and outscored its foes 360-57.
Johnny Cain, a junior from Montgomery, earned All-Southern Conference honors as he powered the offense that registered 74 points against Clemson, 55 vs. Ole Miss and 53 vs. Miss. State. However, the great offense was ineffective in the season's only loss, a 25-0 thumping at the hands of Tennessee. |

Notes: Alabama's average of 36 points a game was the most of the pre-SEC era. |
