Coach Ears Whitworth's first team was not only 0-10 but really never even threatened to break into the win column, with a 21-6 loss to Vanderbilt being the closest Bama came to entering the winning ledger all season. Although he was relegated to a role as a backup senior quarterback Bart Starr completed 55 of 96 passes for 587 yards and showed flashes of the brilliance he would enjoy as one of the NFL's greatest players.
For the year Alabama was outscored 256-48 and only twice did the offense score in double figures in a single game.
One positive happening in '55 were the elections of Wallace Wade and Fred Sington to the College Football Hall of Fame. |

Notes: End Curtis Lynch made the Academic All-SEC Honor roll, one of the few highlights of the year. For the first time, Alabama didn't win an SEC game. |
