The Aggies lost in a (rather sloppy) thriller Saturday night with, then, No. 1 Alabama hanging on by a score of 24-20 – the exact game the Aggies needed to pull-off their second consecutive upset of the Crimson Tide.
There were many moments in the game in which you thought Alabama could begin pulling away, but three Crimson Tide fumbles, an interception from quarterback Jalen Milroe, and two missed field goals (47 yards and 35 yards) kept the game within one possession the majority of the night. Credit to the Aggies’ defense and a gutsy performance by Haynes King to have shot to win on the final play of the game. On the final drive, with under two-minutes to play, the Aggies marched their way down the field to the Alabama 2-yard line – accomplished with great throws, even better catches, and Alabama penalties to keep the upset alive – but the final play call left many wondering if that was the call Jimbo should’ve made.
