Texas A&M suffered its first defeat of 2016 this afternoon at No. 1 Alabama.
The Aggies played the defending national champions tough and actually led midway through the third quarter, 14-13. But, that’s when the Crimson Tide turned it on and scored 20 straight points, eventually winning, 33-14.
Alabama did what it usually does to its most recent opponents, and today against the Aggies, they scored another non-offensive touchdown. The Tide have now scored a non-offensive touchdown in 10 straight games thanks to Jonathan Allen’s second score of the season.
Here’s what Aggies head coach Kevin Sumlin said after Saturday’s loss.
Sumlin: Five minutes in game determined what happened. Extended their drive with roughing…then with offsides. Then fumble return for TD.

Sumlin: This team (Bama) is very talented. We saw some different and creative things from them. We made adjustments. 5-minute stretch hurt.

Sumlin: It's not just us. Alabama had a lot to do with that. That's a good football team.

Sumlin: Anything can happen in this league. What's gotten us this far is "It's About Us" and focus on us. Learn from what happened tonight.

Sumlin: We didn't quit. Our guys played hard. Really hard. That was a very physical game. Critical errors. Not taking away from Alabama.
