The 1922 Alabama vs. Pennsylvania football game, played November 4, 1922, was a college football game between the Alabama Crimson Tide and Penn Quakers. It was the second game at the newly renovated Franklin Field; the first an important victory for Penn over Navy.[1] 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,[2][3] giving the team some of its first national recognition.[4][5] Noted sports columnist Grantland Rice predicted a 21–0 Quaker victory.[6] One writer called the game the hardest fought battle on Penn's field in seven years.[7] Alabama quarterback Charles Bartlett received Walter Camp's All-America honorable mention,[8] and set up the winning touchdown with a dash from the 35-yard line to the 6.[7] College Football Hall of Fame inductee Pooley Hubert was a freshman at fullback.
