The 1967 Alabama squad finished the regular season with an 8–1–1 record. The Crimson Tide opened the season ranked #2 only to tie Florida State in their opening game and lose to eventual conference champion Tennessee.

Texas A&M

{{see also|1967 Texas A&M Aggies football team}}

Texas A&M finished the regular season with a 6–4 after opening the season 0–4 with losses to SMU, Purdue, LSU and Florida State.[2] With a 10–7 victory over Texas in the regular season finale, the Aggies secured their position in the Cotton Bowl as SWC champions.[2] The appearance marked the third for the Aggies in the Cotton Bowl, and their eighth overall bowl game.

Game summary

Alabama opened the game with a ten-play, 80-yard drive with Ken Stabler scoring on an eight-yard run to give the Crimson Tide a 7–0 lead.[3] The Aggies responded with a 13-yard Edd Hargett touchdown pass to Larry Stegent to tie the game at 7–7 at the end of the first quarter.[3] After Steve Davis hit a 36-yard field goal on the first play of the second quarter for Alabama, A&M responded late in the quarter with a 7-yard Tommy Maxwell touchdown reception from Hargett. After the ensuing extra point failed, the Aggies took a 13–10 lead at the half.[3] A&M extended their lead to 20–10 early in the third after Wendell Housley scored on a 20-yard touchdown run. The final points of the game came later in the third when Stabler scored his second touchdown of the game, and with a failed two-point conversion attempt and a scoreless fourth, the Aggies won 20–16.[3] For his performance, Texas A&M quarterback Edd Hargett was named the Most Valuable Player of the game.[3] As A&M coach Stallings was both a former player and assistant coach under him, Bryant carried him off the field to celebrate the victory.[3]
