Alabama’s 24-3 loss to Oklahoma was one of the most stunning in recent program history for a number of reasons.

The Crimson Tide came into the game ranked No. 8 nationally and took control for a spot in both the SEC Championship Game and the College Football Playoff. The Sooners entered the night with just one SEC win all year (vs. Auburn) and clinging to hopes of bowl eligibility.

Alabama (8-3, 4-3 SEC) left Norman out of the running for a trip to Atlanta and barely alive for a CFP spot heading into next week’s Iron Bowl in Tuscaloosa. Oklahoma, meanwhile, picked up its sixth win of the year with one game to spare (next Saturday at LSU).

Saturday’s three-touchdown loss broke some long-standing trends for Alabama. Here are 5, in reverse chronological order:

1. Alabama failed to score a touchdown for the first time since 2011

The last time that happened was in a 9-6 loss to LSU in Tuscaloosa, in the so-called “Game of the Century.” The Crimson Tide won the BCS national championship that season, defeating the Tigers 21-0 in the rematch in New Orleans.

2. Alabama has suffered three losses in a season for the first time since 2010

Including losses to Vanderbilt, Tennessee and now Oklahoma, the Crimson Tide must win the Iron Bowl and a bowl game to reach 10-plus wins for the 17th straight year. The 2010 Alabama team lost to South Carolina, LSU and Auburn during the regular season, but defeated Michigan State in the Capital One Bowl and posted double-digit wins.

3. Alabama lost its Iron Bowl lead-in for the first time since 2007

The Crimson Tide generally played an FCS or Group of 5 school during the Iron Bowl warm-up from 2007-23, although that has obviously changed with the SEC’s new schedule rotation. Alabama’s last game loss before facing Auburn was the infamous 21-14 loss to Louisiana-Monroe in Nick Saban’s first season.

4. Alabama has three real traffic losses for the first time since 2006

The Crimson Tide had not lost three road games in the same season since the final year of the Mike Shula era, when it lost all four SEC road games (at Arkansas, Florida, Tennessee, LSU). Saban’s first Alabama team lost at Mississippi State and Auburn and against Florida State in Jacksonville, although the latter was a neutral field game. The Crimson Tide’s only SEC road win this year was 42-13 over LSU on Nov. 9.

5. Alabama scored the fewest points since 2004

Another low point in the Shula era was a 20-3 loss to South Carolina in Tuscaloosa 20 years ago, although that game came two weeks after the Crimson Tide lost starting quarterback Brodie Croyle to a season-ending knee injury. Alabama had scored at least six points in every game since. (By the way, Alabama hasn’t been left out since a 9-0 loss in the 2000 Iron Bowl.)
