Joe Namath threw 24 touchdown passes during his college career at the University of Alabama from 1961 to 1964. His impressive performances helped solidify his reputation as a talented quarterback, leading to his eventual selection as the first overall pick in the 1965 NFL Draft. Namath's time at Alabama was marked by both individual and team success.
Yes, Namath, in his senior year, was the starting QB on Alabama's 1964 National Championship team.However, a Namath and Bryantknee injury that year prevented Namath from starting in the Orange Bowl against Texas, although he was voted most valuable player of the game, based on less than three quarters of play.The Crimson Tide actually lost that Orange Bowl game to the University of Texas 21-17; but the team was still crowned national champion.
Steve Sloan was the starter and Ken Stabler was the backup.
