13 points came from offense after the first quarter. In the 4th quarter we kneeled the ball on Texas A&M 9 yard line with a 2 and 1. So could of scored if we wanted to but we just ended the game. But hey when your def is putting up touchdowns from interceptions, that kinda changes the game plan.

The first play of the 2nd Quarter was the offensive TD, after that Bama's offense only produced FG's.

Bama did end the ball on the A&M 9 but you are leaving out the fact that A&M had turned the ball over on downs deep in its own territory after the game was already over because of the last Pick 6 with 5 minutes left. The game was in doubt until the last Pick 6 that put it away which is pretty mind boggling.

Bama won and they deserved to win, A&M just did a lot to help out by shooting itself in the foot over and over again.

So whats your point, 13 points after the first quarter. Henry ran for 28 yards on your guys with less than 3 minutes left in the game and we ended up taking a knee on the 9 yard line. That doesn't change the fact your D couldn't stop Alabama rushing the ball towards the end of the game and if you know anything about Alabama football they usually wear teams down by the 4th quarter. However, one of those FG in the was kicked from the 3 yard line. The other FG was kicked from the 15 yard line. But the Offense didn't do anything in the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th quarter right?

Well playing backups is part of the game. No one is entitled to be injury free.

Bama's piss poor special teams did everything in their power to give aTm the game by shooting themselves in the foot over and over again.

I'd like to kick Bobby Williams in the arse.

As I said, the first play of the 2nd Quarter was the TD so I was talking about after that point. If you really want to hang your hat on the very last drive where Bama got the ball deep in Aggie territory and the game was effectively conceded (A&M didn't use their timeouts) and managed to get 27 yards on 5 runs then go for it.

Here were the Drive Summaries for the game after the TD to start the 2nd Quarter were:

7 for 29 Punt
3 for 0 Punt
3 for 3 Punt
3 for 6 Punt
3 for 7 Punt
13 for 51 Field Goal
4 for 30 Punt
7 for 25 Field Goal (following a pick)
3 for 2 Punt
5 for 27 End of Game

Summary of 51 plays for 180 yards or about 3.5 yards per play after the TD to start the 2nd Quarter. There was also only 1 Bama Drive that was over 4 minutes.

To start the game Bama had 21 plays for 211 yards or 10 yards per play.

So the argument that the A&M D adjusted and held Bama's offense (especially the run) in check bears out. We lost, Bama won but it wasn't because Bama just kept handing the ball to Henry and we couldn't stop him. Henry's running really only resulted in 1 TD and as the game went on Bama was not able to control the clock. After the 1st Quarter the longest run for Bama was actually a Coker scramble for 17 yards.

Enjoy your win, Bama was the better team and deserved it. Just don't make up crap that isn't based on the facts of the game to fit your narrative.
