Visiting locker rooms are often ripe for shenanigans, and Texas tried to pull off another example on Saturday ahead of the Alabama game by not installing air-conditioning in the locker room at DKR Texas Memorial Stadium.

But the attempt did not go through with its intended effect, and that was only because Alabama anticipated the move, and brought its own air-conditioning unit.

Bryce Young led Alabama on a heroic last drive after Alabama was uncharacteristically sloppy day especially early on between penalties and dropped passes and at one point was forced to punt the ball 6 straight. Texas then stopped Alabama on fourth-and-inches late to set up a go-ahead field goal by Bert Auburn with 1:39 remaining.

Early on, Alabama was flagged for 11 first-half penalties and then had some dropped passes that was uncharacteristic of Nick Saban-coached teams. Will Anderson Jr. struggled to make plays against an inexperienced Texas offensive line, but delivered a late sack to force Texas into a field goal attempt.
