#1 ranked Alabama goes down as they lose to unranked Texas A&M making Nick Saban 24-1 against former assistant coaches
This most recent Saturday October 9th the #1 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide took on the unranked Texas A&M Aggies as a part of the Saturday college football schedule. After a first half of football Alabama the football powerhouse was trailing 24-10.
When most college football fans saw Bama was trailing at half mostly nobody was concerned because Bama was supposedly the better team by far. But, however the Aggies had nothing else in mind, they fought and clawed against the best team. in the nation for the whole second half.
Their efforts paid off when the Aggies got a chance to win on a last second 38 yard field goal. As the game closes the ball floats through the uprights and they upset Alabama. The college football world was in shock as the “unbeatable” Bama team was defeated.
This lose broke several running streaks for the football powerhouse and their historic head coach Nick Saban. Alabama was currently on a 19 game winning streak before the game coming off a National Championship the year prior. Before this loss Nick Saban Alabama’s head coach was 24-0 against his former assistant coaches.
The last streak went away after the loss for Alabama was the last 100 games Bama played against an unranked opponent they had won.
This upset is very important to the general public and the football community because it shows that even a football giant can lose. Sort of a David and Goliath story. Congratulations to Texas A&M for not giving up and fighting until the end of the game to come out onto and defy history.
