Jimbo Fisher and Texas A&M suffered a difficult loss to Alabama, 24-20, as it wasn’t decided until a pass in the waning seconds from the 2-yard line.
Haynes King, who stepped in for injured starter Max Johnson, drove the Aggies 69 yards in the final 1:50 featuring passes to Evan Stewart and Moose Muhammad III. Then the Aggies got another chance with a late pass interference call against Alabama.
That set up one final shot from the 2 with three seconds left, but King’s pass to Stewart fell incomplete.
Here are some of Fisher’s comments:
Fisher: “you can’t take moral victories, I don’t believe in moral victories … our guys went toe-to-toe with them.” Said he respects Alabama as a team. “We just go to get ‘em to play a little better and coach ‘em a little better” (in end of game situation).@FOX54News
