Despite dominating the time of possession, Alabama heads into the half with a 24-13 lead on Texas A&M. The Aggies came out with a ball control mentality at Kellen Mond and the offense went right down the field on its opening possession with a methodical 15 play drive which ended in a touchdown. Most of college football has struggled to figure out how to contain Alabama’s offense and Jimbo Fisher’s plan was obviously to just try and limit their possessions.
A good idea, but didn’t quite translate to stops for the Aggies as Tua Tagovailoa and the offense fired right back with a sub five-minute drive which ended with a 31-yard touchdown pass to Jaylen Waddle.
