Article currently has one lone citation re the box score and fails WP:NSPORTSEVENT. . There is routine coverage commensurate with the No 1. ranked team losing, but not much more or of long-term significance. Issues tagged since 2014 & 2016. See Category:College football games as helpful. UW Dawgs (talk) 23:12, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (with no prejudice toward re-creation) not for notability, but for violating policy WP:OR (original research). The one source given in the article contains only statistics that I can see, and the article is peppered with opinions (such as in the section AFTERMATH and the data in the lead about the Heisman Trophy). It's not enough. Because of this policy violation (and because it references living persons and could therefore be impacted by WP:BLP as well), the article should be removed from mainspace. HOWEVER, the game could have the WP:IMPACT needed to achieve notability because of its influence on the Heisman race (as asserted in the article without sources) so I would not oppose USERFY for the article if an enthusiastic editor wants to take custody and prepare it with proper sources so that it no longer violates policy.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:44, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for lack of notability. There's no coverage other than contemporaneous WP:MILL sports coverage. I don't see any reason to expect that re-creation would be beneficial. Not all Alabama football losses are notable. power~enwiki (π, ν) 04:58, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Paul McDonald. We really need sources. --GRuban (talk) 17:22, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
