It was going to take a perfect game to beat Alabama. They weren’t perfect. The national narrative will likely be unkind to the Aggies this week, and some of that is deserved. It shouldn’t be forgotten that Alabama is a great football team, and they’ve made a lot of very good teams look pretty silly so far.
Alabama didn’t need any extra help to beat the Aggies, but they still got it. Some have already began the conspiracy talk, but regardless of how you felt about the officiating on Saturday, the Aggies certainly didn’t do themselves any favors.
