For the third time this season, Alabama has gone into the double digits on penalties. There were many areas of play that left Tide fans with a salty taste in their mouth despite covering a 3-score spread against a top 25 team, but keep in mind that most of those concerns would have been null if not for penalty issues.
The opening drive of the game caused a seismic meltdown in the state of Alabama despite the cooler temperatures, as Kellen Mond and the Aggie offense dinked and dunked their way down the field for 15 plays and over 8 minutes— aided by a couple of offsides calls— and finally capped off by Mond getting a QB sneak for a touchdown.
