Without Bryce Young, No. 1 Alabama survives Texas A&M with late defensive stop

No. 1 Alabama seemed to want the 100,007 fans in attendance for the highly-anticipated Texas A&M game to get their money’s worth.

The Crimson Tide found ways throughout Saturday night to make it more of a game of it than it should have been.

Alabama’s propensity to give the football to the Aggies frequently killed momentum for the Crimson Tide. Really, Texas A&M didn’t have much of an offense unless Alabama turned the football over.

Fortunately for the Aggies, the Crimson Tide − playing without injured Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young at quarterback − had plenty of turnovers.
