All is not lost for Texas A&M despite loss to Alabama
Texas A&M went into Tuscaloosa hoping to score an upset of No. 1 Alabama but instead left empty-handed, coming back with a 33-14 loss, its first of the season.
Issues that the Aggies have had at various points this season emerged -- such as turnovers and tackling -- and new ones popped up -- like being unable to run the ball and unable to stop the run. But ultimately, the Aggies were left wondering what could have happened had they made fewer mistakes. They led early in the third quarter before a roughing-the-passer penalty negated an A&M defensive stop and eventually led to Alabama points, then a fumble that Jonathan Allen returned for a touchdown became the turning point.
