1895 Alabama Crimson White football team

In what was the first ever game played in the state of Georgia, in their first all-time game against the University of Georgia, Alabama lost 30–6 before 500 fans in Columbus.[5][6] Alabama took their only lead of the game early after Borden Burr scored a touchdown following a blocked punt. C. S. Pelham then kicked the PAT and Alabama led, 6–0.[5] From that point, Georgia scored 30 unanswered points with touchdowns by Edgar Pomeroy, Rufus Nally and Craig Barrow in the first half; and touchdowns by Pomeroy and Fred Price in the second half for their 30–6 victory.[5]

After they defeated Tulane in their first matchup in 1894, Alabama was shut out 22–0 before 1,000 fans in New Orleans.[5][6] A. K. Foote scored both of Tulane's first-half touchdowns to give them an 8–0 halftime lead.[5] Tulane extended their lead in the second half with two touchdowns by Warren Johnson and one by S. S. Rubira on a 50-yard run in their 22–0 win.[5]

Two days after their loss against Tulane, Alabama lost, 12–6, to long-time rival LSU at Baton Rouge in their first all-time meeting against the two schools.[5][7] After a scoreless first half, Alabama took a 6–0 lead on their first drive of the second half on a T. W. Powers touchdown run.[7] However, LSU scored twelve unanswered points on a pair of Sam Lambert touchdowns that gave them the 12–6 victory.[7] This game was originally scheduled to be played on Friday, November 15, but was rescheduled for the Monday that followed due to a train delay as they traveled from Tuscaloosa across the Mississippi Valley.[8]

In the first all-time Iron Bowl played in Tuscaloosa, Alabama was defeated by the Agricultural & Mechanical College of Alabama (now known as Auburn University), 48–0.[5][6][9] The 48-point margin of victory still stands tied with the 1900 Iron Bowl as the largest for Auburn in the Iron Bowl.
