No. 1 Alabama escaped with a 24-20 win over Texas A&M on Saturday night despite four turnovers and two missed field goals.
Texas A&M got to the Alabama 2-yard-line with three seconds left thanks to a pass interference call in the end zone on what would have been a game-sealing interception. But Haynes King’s pass to the right pylon was high and wide and incomplete.
King was looking for freshman Evan Stewart, who was in single coverage at the goal line. Stewart had made an amazing catch in double coverage earlier in the drive and had been A&M's best wide receiver throughout the game.
