Stallings’ Alabama squad won that matchup in 1992 by the score of 28-21. Stallings’ crew went on to win the national championship that season.
Spurrier, meanwhile, had to wait until 1996 to win a title with the Gators.
Kramer, who oversaw the expansion of the SEC, served as commissioner from 1990-2002 before Mike Slive took over.
