41-23.
Texas A&M only scored a touchdown the traditional way after Cyrus Jones fumbled a punt in Alabama territory. The other score was a punt return. The rest were field goals.
The Tide offense only scored 20 points in the game. The defense actually outscored the offense with three pick-6s: two by Minkah Fitzpatrick and a massive 93-yard pick-6 by Eddie Jackson.
On the offensive side of the ball, when the Tide had it, my frequent refrain during the game was, "Just run the ball."
And they did. Derrick Henry amassed a career-high 236 net yards and two touchdowns.
Early in the game, the Aggies dared them to run by playing their nickel defense, which surprised the heck out of me.
Jacob Coker displayed a game manager type performance in the game, which resulted in a W.
I hope Kenyan Drake's leg bruise heals up for the Tennessee game, or else we'll see Damien Harris get some significant snaps in the upcoming game. He better be ready.
