Alabama instant analysis: Tide pummels Texas A&M

Alabama faced its greatest challenge yet, and it still wasn't much of a test.

The Crimson Tide rolled once again, authoring another dominant performance in 45-23 victory over Texas A&M on Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

A brief rainstorm prior to kickoff didn't short-circuit Alabama's electric offense.

The Tide gained 524 yards and scored on seven of its first 11 possessions.

The defense, meanwhile, harassed Texas A&M quarterback, routinely bombarding his pocket while sacking him seven times.

After hanging with Alabama for the first 23 minutes and trailing by only four points midway through the second quarter, the Aggies didn't offer much resistance to the Tide.
