“This is not the kind of game that Nick Saban likes to play ever. If you told him that the way they were going to have to win this is you’re going to have to score like crazy and you’re going to have to consider every single defensive stop to be a gift from God.”
In the latest episode of Beat Everyone’s series on the 15 Greatest Alabama Football Games of the 21st Century, Ben Flanagan and Matt Scalici dive deep into Alabama’s 2013 shootout with Texas A&M, back when Johnny Manziel was terrorizing Kirby Smart’s defenses and AJ McCarron had the Crimson Tide offense rolling like it never had before. They break down key moments, standout players like CJ Mosley, and the game’s consequences, including its effect on Alabama’s season and strategic shifts on offense.
