The 1922 Alabama vs. Pennsylvania football game, played November 4, 1922, was a college football game between the Alabama Crimson Tide and Penn Quakers. Beating one of the "big 4" Ivy League institutions in a major upset, it is considered one of the most important wins in Alabama football history,[1][2] giving the team some of its first national recognition.[3][4] One writer called the game the hardest fought battle on Penn's field in seven years.[5]
