Alabama hasn’t lost since the 2019 Iron Bowl.
The Tide went undefeated last year while they won the national championship. And, heading into Saturday’s game at Texas A&M, it didn’t look like the Tide would be in much trouble.
A&M was coming off of back-to-back losses to Arkansas and Mississippi State and the offense under QB Zach Calzada looked stagnant.
But, on Saturday night at Kyle Field, the Aggies pulled off the unthinkable. It was a back and forth game, with the Aggies dominating in the first half.
Then, the Aggies let Alabama take the lead in the second half. But, a last-second field goal from Seth Small gave Texas A&M the win:

The final score was Texas A&M 41, Alabama 38. It was a game for the ages.
No one expected this from the beaten-down Aggies, but Jimbo Fisher just became the first former Nick Saban assistant to beat his old boss.
