Preseason

[edit]

For the 1894 season, Eli Abbott returned as head coach and the team sought to improve upon theirwinless record of 1893.[3] In October 1894, theBirmingham Age-Herald noted the squad was considerably heavier and more conditioned for the season than in the previous year, and as such predicted Alabama would have a successful season.[4] At that time, the initial schedule was also announced and included games against bothVanderbilt on November 5 andNorth Carolina on November 19, but neither game was ever played.[4]
