Alabama has a tough road schedule this season, starting SEC play in Week 3 in Oxford against Ole Miss, later facing back-to-back trips to Arkansas and Tennessee, while the last road game might be the most challenging: a Nov. 5 match at Death Valley against LSU.

Looking back, what are some of the best road wins the program has under head coach Nick Saban? Here are five:

5. Alabama 41, Georgia 30: 2008

Alabama entered the game as an underdog ranked No. 8 against the No. 3 Bulldogs. While the final score of 41-30 makes it sound relatively close, the game wasn’t close at all.

Georgia’s then-head coach Mark Richt created a big gimmick in the buildup to the game by promising his players a chance to wear black uniforms and encouraging fans to wear black. However, Georgia was mostly absent when it came to on-field play.

Alabama led 31-0 at halftime, scoring on all five of the team’s first possessions. Following the game, for the first time in Saban’s time at the program, people began to believe the program was a serious contender for the national championship. The team fell short that season but obviously competed at a high level and has since gone on to win four championships.

4. Alabama 49, Texas A&M 42: 2013

Just the second game into the season, Alabama faced a significant challenge: the lone team to have defeated the 2012 national champions with the Heisman Trophy winner in Johnny Manziel in front of the deafening noise of Kyle Field.

AJ McCarron went toe-to-toe with Manziel, helping lead the team to victory. The Alabama defense was gashed for yardage by Manziel and A&M’s receivers, including a 95-yard touchdown by Mike Evans that cut the score to 42-35 with 8:04 left. However, the Tide held on for the win.

3. Alabama 20, LSU 13: 2014

Plenty of pundits may argue the Alabama-LSU rivalry has lost some luster with LSU falling in the last five matchups, four of which came during the regular season. However, LSU lands two out of the top five road victories on the list with a third game, the 2008 narrow 27-21 Alabama win, the top honorable mention.

The 2014 contest didn’t feature a lot of scoring with the team’s kickers exchanging two field goals after both teams scored a touchdown before the end of the second quarter. Adam Griffith tied the game with just three seconds remaining to send the game to overtime.

Blake Sims found DeAndrew White for the go-ahead touchdown, while the Alabama defense batted down a fourth-down pass in the end zone to seal the game.

2. Alabama 26, Auburn 21: 2009

Auburn jumped out to a 14-0 lead against the 11-0 Crimson Tide. However, Alabama came back to tie the game late in the second quarter. Again, Auburn regained the lead 21-14 early in the third quarter, and again Alabama fought back. Two hard-earned field goals by Leigh Tiffin closed the Auburn lead to 21-20.

That led to one of the most famous drives in Alabama history, engineered by quarterback Greg McElroy. On 3rd-and-3 from the 4-yard line, McElroy rolled out on a play-action to find Roy Upchurch open in the end zone for a touchdown to give Alabama a 26-21 lead.

With just seconds remaining, Auburn attempted a Hail Mary that was batted down by a series of Alabama defenders to preserve the win.

1. Alabama 21, LSU 17: 2012

Alabama actually had the upper hand for most of the game, but the thrilling way in which the team won the game is part of what makes it so memorable.

Alabama scored two rushing touchdowns in the second quarter that held until early in the fourth quarter. Trailing Alabama 14-10, quarterback Zach Mettenberger threw a 14-yard touchdown to Jarvis Landry to give LSU a 17-14 lead. With a little more than a minute and a half left in the game, McCarron led the Crimson Tide down the field after starting at their own 28.

With exactly one minute left, McCarron took the snap and flipped a screen pass to T.J. Yeldon, who went on to score his first receiving touchdown of his collegiate career from 28 yards away. Alabama defensive lineman Damion Square sacked Mettenberger as Alabama survived Death Valley.
