I watched the whole thing, buddy. I watched A&M almost frick it up. I watched McCarron almost do what he did to LSU. The truth is that if Saban handles the last 3 or 4 plays better, Alabama wins. So don't act like y'all killed them for Christ's sake. You held on for the win.

McCarron threw an interception in the 2nd half that wasn't counted (defender's toe inbounds - heel out of bounds). If his heel had landed a couple of inches away, the game's complexion would have been entirely different - probably a relative blowout in fact.

If Aggies are being honest with themselves and their team, they will tell you that the team did really really well in the first quarter or first half of big games, but struggled after that. A&M got out to early leads in three big games this season, and blew those leads in two of the three. They are the kings of the first quarter, basically.

My interpretation of this is that teams were able to make adjustments against Texas A&M. Florida shut JFF out in the second half. LSU shut him down after the first quarter. A&M scored 20 of its 29 points against Bama in the first quarter.

The question I'd be asking myself, if I was a critical Aggie fan, is whether we will be able to take teams by surprise anymore.

My guess is no. We'll be expecting what you throw at us next time.
