While the last two meetings between Texas A&M and Alabama were some of the best we’ve seen for those respective seasons, Saturday was anything but as the Crimson Tide destroyed the Aggies, 59-0.
The No. 21 Texas A&M Aggies traveled on the road Saturday for a huge match up with the Alabama Crimson Tide, although the match up ended up being a mismatch in every sense of the word as Alabama looked about as dominant as ever in their convincing 59-0 win.
After jumping out to a quick 3-0 lead in the first quarter, Alabama got the scoring started with a nine-yard touchdown run from T.J. Yeldon.
Oh, if we only knew what would happen from there. The onslaught from the Crimson Tide offense and coordinator Lane Kiffin was relentless, as Alabama ended up going into the half with a comfortable 45-0 lead, following a late 41-yard touchdown catch from running back Derrick Henry.
As you can clearly see, this one was over after two quarters, although Alabama wasted no time in making sure that they showed all the naysayers what they’re capable of in the third quarter. They had no intention of taking their foot off the gas pedal, as about four minutes into the third, Blake Sims found the dynamic Amari Cooper with a 45-yard strike.
A Jacob Coker touchdown pass in the fourth quarter would give the Tide 59, letting everyone know that the dynasty might not be dead after all.
When it was all said and done, Alabama finished with 602 yards of total offense, while their defense opened up everyone’s eyes, limiting the Aggies attack to just 172 yards on the day. Yes. Texas A&M. 172 total yards.
This was a complete and utter domination, plain and simple. All of the people that were calling for the death of the Alabama dynasty might want to backtrack a bit.
