Texas A&M vs Alabama 2021 - no huddle

the home depot sec on cbs brings us prime time into bryan college station texas and our match-up the aggies of texas a m against the number one team in the country the crimson tide of alabama [Music] full house at kyle field we might have a record crowd it'll be over a hundred five thousand that we know alabama comes in riding a 19-game winning streak they've won eight straight in this series can texas a m pull the upset tonight at the home of the 12th man as a head coach here at texas a m they were underway [Applause] and the aggies will come out to the 25. zach calzada laid at lanier high school in sugar hill georgia last week pretty good game had a touchdown run and a pass but they need him to be very efficient against an excellent crimson tidy defense isaiah spiller with him in the backfield anaya smith was a motion mad here's spiller this is a guy gary said turn around and give it to this guy and he picked up five almost six yards with an offense joining him that looks like this anaya smith a little bit quiet the last couple weeks had big games early he is their leading receiver but his per catch average is not what it was a year ago the player off they do on second and five spiller big opening off the left side isaiah spiller all the way out to the 45-yard line the stretch play and isaiah spillers is calmly calmly calmly take the cut back he just goes and he's got great vision when you watch all his runs he gets to the second level and seems to be able to find the big play that's 16 on that one play action bootleg calzada gonna throw on the run and he throws a dart to anaya smith and another first down so how do you tell the quarterback struggling quarterback hasn't played a lot not of a lot of experience you run the ball successfully and then you roll him out just a one-on-one throw and on top of that i think he's going to get 15 yards flag down personal foul roughing the passer we're targeting number 13. so they're going to review it to see on the targeting call as well oh man into the head and neck area so for that reason that's why that was a very quick confirmation for targeting yeah if these players would just learn to bring their arms and tackle instead of trying to get the shot with the head in the face they would get away with they're trying as hard as they can alabama in going to their dime package very important in dimebag now branch will play in his spot from the 28th first down and a nice throw and catch demus this time we take a look at the defense talking about the defense for the crimson tide and this guy is the one that brings the pressure mathis been sensational he's the guy that was firing the teammates up as you saw in that huddle ranch luckily in the preseason has played just about every position in the secondary there he is making the tackle [Applause] calzada plenty of time throws a slant but it's short of the first down down to about the 21-yard line it's gonna be fourth down and a long two field goal from 38 yards kick out of the way and a m's got the early lead at home so seth small his 10th field goal of the season first time trailing in the last 15 games it was georgia last year the last time the tide was behind they're behind by three early here kyle field [Applause] kickoff and it goes out of bounds so good field position for alabama to start the 35 and that's just giving field position around him and we talked about the big guys up front as good as any place and this guy the left tackle of anneal maybe the best in the country and some people around alabama say maybe he's the best they've ever had it that's flag down immediately before this now jason audrey is our referee to lay a game disconcerting signals so [Applause] here's the aggie defense antonio johnson comes in leading tackler fourth best in the sec in tackles second out at two is young down the middle that one might have been tipped it was intended for meche it looked kind of weird as it got closer to the receiver goes one step further than he thought on the rollout young just going to throw short complete to flat to the tight end and he's got a first down 47-yard line under the first down here's the toss brian robertson trying to get to the edge puts his head down got about four i think lottie was going to get called for holding on the play the right the tight end right after he picked up a first down he's going to pick up a flag as well holding offense number 81 not first young had pressure got rid of it got it complete to slay boulder who's run out of bounds right about back at the original line of scrimmage you're very close jalen jones bumped him out so they stopped second down at 11 at the 48th robinson got it to the 45 he was sensational a week ago young ago on a clap or a silent count here at silent with the crowd roaring he's in trouble got away doesn't like to run but he will here and he got a first down sliding to the 30. [Applause] a m brings pressure they put the defensive backs their play in a nickel but they only rush four they drop in a deep zone and as nest said he doesn't like the run but on third and eight with that deep of a drop by the linebackers he took it that's his career long yeah 15-yard pickup three runs three passes on this drive so far another pass coming up comes to a secondary receiver down in the flat as bolden again [Applause] williams who got the call and he only got about a yard it's going to bring up third down andre white the middle linebacker in on the stop williams in motion to the top young looks that way goes that way catches may first down might be made too let's see richardson knocked him out of bounds young flares it out to roydell williams on the fly down the sideline touchdown alabama 20 yards and that's touchdown pass number 18 for bryce young pretty hard to teach this stuff this is about the most veteran play of a freshman quarterback i've seen a lot of years doing this the calmness of him to look down field and understand where his outlets are look look look not there that's not good defense you cannot give that space there's no defense alive that somebody busted an assignment that was supposed to have him man-to-man that's not a good zone and obviously a terrible man-to-man look will reichard in for the point after up and perfect [Applause] so alabama was behind for the first time in a long time you can work on a lot of handshakes when you score that i was just gonna think of the same thing you gotta come you got to be very creative to think of new ones yep [Applause] alabama shows blitz they come with it calzada down the middle completes first down good toss and catch and damon dimas again that's his second grab so far here in the first quarter we were visiting with jimbo fisher yesterday i was saying you know jimbo you always throw the tight ends and you love to attack the middle of field he says oh we're going to attack the middle the trademark of his offense usually it's tight ends so they're getting the receiver inside well they've got a really good tight end and weidermeyer he's lined up on the left side of that line right now play fake throw down the middle again that's wademeyer on the run widemeyer still going inside the 30 and down to the 27. very simple seam route and a really good throw by zach goes out of that time picked up a 34 to jalen wadameyer right down the seam route there and brian branch lets him go right by him that time no safety in the area perfect throw good timing again for the aggies here with five and a half to go first quarter calzada flushed out of the pocket throws on the run and he's got a man watermeyer again touchdown aggies yes we talked about a m blowing a coverage well alabama's going to blow a coverage just as badly wydermeyer just going to go down the sideline right here and nobody covers him passed off nobody stays well he's got his arms up for 15 yards in the open area extra point by small is up and good jalen weidemeyer his 14th career touchdown catch and the aggies just flew down the field 75 yards and three plays jalen wydenmeyer says zach get it to me calzada says it's on its way my friend 10-7 texas a m [Music] and this kick's gonna sail out of the back of the end zone so this was a condensed formation all four receivers and what they're gonna do is go four vertical okay but they do it from a condensed spot right here but look what happens as they go out if you kind of stop it right there i mean you got guys open really all you could throw the ball here or you could throw the ball there both of them are wide open for touchdowns the recipient in the corner off that throw from calzada so now let's see if alabama's got an answer we told you it had been the georgia game a year ago the last time alabama trailed i don't know when they've trailed twice in one game right they're going back to the record yes first down at the 25. young comes up fire and complete to williams she tiptoes out of bounds with a pickup of 10 or 11. brian robinson back in the tailback williams in motion it's robinson off the left side big opening broke one tackle broke a second almost got 10 out of it before they finally put him down well you'd wonder second down and one play action young loads scrambles given ground just trying to get rid of it now and he got it back to the line of scrimmage at kyle field third down and a yard robinson dropped the ball i think aggies have got it texas a m on the fumble recovery and it's leon o'neill and that's the first fumble recovery for the year for the aggies so it was second and short and alabama went for the home run had to throw it away they figure okay third and short we can make it handoff is high he missed the pocket you got to get it in the number he hit him high in the chest and robinson never had the football handoff a bit high and never is able to get it you know bryce young is so seldom under center it almost looked like he was never comfortable when he turned around he sure didn't miss the puck and you saw brian robinson pick his arms up real high but he expected it lower in his stomach as gary just said first fumble recovery only the second loss fumble for alabama this year aggies at the 41. straight up the middle he's got a first down to the 30. so we talked about if you're going to play with alabama you have to at least tie in the trenches let's give some credit to this offensive line they've got established just enough the running game that when again boxed off one tackler and a powerful run again he's not the biggest guy in the world but he's strong and another excellent run down to the 23. [Applause] second down at 4 to 23. again outside this time another first down roll down to the 18. [Applause] one blitz eight chain runs right by it and almost broke into the second level there helen's held on for dear life or he would have had a touchdown again running between the tackles good job up front picking the spots henry toatoa has a chance but 18 runs right out of the tackle and gets in the secondary again isaiah spiller back in the backfield on second down and four and out spiller's turn gets his head down gets a couple ej dale made the hit winding down just got it away spiller up the middle first and goal at the five no decision necessary and you said it up the middle and what does that mean they're running right behind true freshman number 61. foster christ foster moving kenyan green number 54 to left guard i think has helped both the center position and the guard position running right up should have been a face mask called the end of that play they spot it at the six where it's first and goal [Applause] delzado lofts it touchdown a m and is smith what happens when you can run the ball you can throw the ball right here right behind the linebackers they're aggressive players got to stop the run you got to stop the run nope not around we said when we did the lineups number zero has got to get involved in the offense anaya smith he just did seth smalls extra point is good 33 seconds [Applause] calzada's got two touchdown throws 41-yard march after the fumble recovery a m by 10. fears tomorrow on cbs this place is going wild right now but texas a m leading by 10 and alabama will bring it out to the 25. let's check in with jamie zach calzada is a different young man tonight and i'm not just talking about what you're seeing on the field in the bench area compared to what we saw a few weeks ago against arkansas in that loss a completely new quarterback engaged with every position group that he deals with talking with coaches smiling you have to think gary when he was informed that he was the guy this season that there must have been a shift for him mentally yeah i think the more he plays and when he looked around and said you know what i'm getting a little help here that's all i needed to get comfortable and i got to give jimbo credit jimbo fisher has dialed up some play calls in this game he's giving him some easy targets calzada's perfect 7-7 106 yards and two touchdowns see if alabama's got an answer bryce young comes up fired a little bit too far in front of jameson williams diving attempt but it's incomplete so we talked about billings leader the tight end was in motion there bryce young throws late and out of bounds and boy that should have been a flag i thought and that was big time hit on the sideline by tyrek chappelle and true freshman football player in their balls sailing oh jeez got to keep your eye on the ball uncatchable look at where the ball is being thrown unnecessary personal foul light hit defense [Applause] looks that way fires metchi's got this one and he's still on the run inside the 25 and down to the 20. bryce young to john metchi on a big game yeah he comes in alabama right back to the edge of the red zone a 40-yard pass play now brian robinson taking it wide going left and going 15 more for alabama it's first and goal [Applause] robinson's the man that got him to the four he'll try to take the other four and he only got about two and a half second down inside the two bryan robinson again got one more of it it's third down a goal that's the first the aggies come up with a goal line stand young fires and it's intercepted intercepted by richardson damani richardson his first interception of the year the monty richardson has a man-to-man and he cuts underneath the tight end to make the play watch him right here he's going to cut underneath and aggressively go to make the play he just doesn't cover it but he cuts the angle a spectacular play by damani richardson against billingsley a fast tight end that's a spectacular play and a touchdown saving play obviously because that ball would have been caught for a touchdown he maybe would have wanted to stay in the end zone but he was thinking 100 yards the other way and i don't blame him it was a great play look at our pylon cam he runs right by it so they're going to spot it at the 4 yard line kind of reminds me of the game-saving interception a m made in 2012 when johnny manziel won at tuscaloosa and ended the game with an interception just like that actually the three-yard line thank you pardon spiller isaiah goes up to about seven or eight backpedaling [Applause] a little bit only got about a yard it's going to bring up third and four bringing more people and getting the quarterback yes they do throws in the flat spillers got a first down out to the 20 and he's still standing so what is a m they anticipate and they go hot right away get the back out and they run right by it everybody's got the wheel route everybody is successful with it aren't they yep staff has to as well of the 20. back to the line of scrimmage that's it mathis again along with anderson you know alzada flares it out spiller with the catch but he's bumped out after just a short game by jordan battle that's one of the things we see empty backfield third down a name blitz coming from the secondary calzada got rid of it completed it but it's short of the first down got it to jalen preston and we might have our first punt of the night oh boy high kick and right to the sideline where earl makes the catch at the 26 or seven that's what by domani richardson let's see what they do this time jameson williams on a little flip on the end around he picks up about four pretty sneaky little play right there alabama shifted 945 remaining first half young pressure coming from the back side and down he goes they got to him and it's tyree johnson that time chris owens matched up and he kind of whipped on the outside there's the match-up owens has got him comes right around the corner fast turn and gets to young beautiful pass right that time by johnson it's his second sack of the year and it forces a third and nine and on alabama's last two third down plays one was a fumble one was an interception 39 billingsly in motion crowd has really cranked up play clock down to one young scans of field buys himself an extra second or two and now he's gonna run with it and he's knocked out about short of the first down but there's a flag see if there's a holding on defense flags back at the 45-yard line usually what it means in the secondary doesn't it holding defense number 17. the 10-yard penalty is added to the end of the run and results in a first down jalen jones will give alabama a first down with a holding call bryce young breaks out of it jaylen jones in good spot good spot and then we got him with both hands yep i'm gonna pull him down here quick throw out to metchy on a wide-out screen williams tried to get him a block didn't i bet he still made something out of it though as he got out near midfield yeah this was a decision by bryce young it was thinking about switching now billingsley stays on the right wing play action deep ball young overshot williams he had a step back there johnson back in the game young blitz coming he's going down again and it's tyree johnson again i guess he wasn't that hurt he was back in the game coming from the left side and he's matched up against evan neal this time no they squeezed down a little bit of a busted assignment that time by alabama they turned the defensible end loose the running back on tyra tyree johnson that time that's a bust up front or a design of a protection that wasn't good for alabama a running back on johnson was not a great matchup ames burn up in to punt for alabama's first punt of the night anaya smith waits on the other end and he's just gonna clear out of the way here bounces back from the sideline onto the field at about the 26. king for the aggies before injury ended his career isaiah actually spent some of his childhood years living on campus as his parents finished their degrees so it's isaiah bringing things full circle and despite a m football paraphernalia decorating the house growing up it wasn't his dad who was the ultimate influence to get isaiah here it was his mom isha who helped call the shots really a cool young man and a great family he really is we had a good time spending time with isaiah yesterday oh and an interception picked off by demarco hellums and that's the first misfire for calzada and it's a big one i thought with nothing there he was just going to try to throw the ball away but just as he throws it the receiver takes off on him watch nothing there nobody open you've got to play just get out of it hasn't made any mistakes all day covered covered receivers turning up field and lets it go to the back shoulder there was no back shoulder to throw to mental mistake when he least needed it hellums second robinson big hole off the right side brian robinson all the way to the 15-yard line well we talked about it so far a m has been holding their own on the line of scrimmage but this time they dial up the run and the line does it good overran that time by aaron hansford number one middle linebacker field in the wrong area and robinson ran right by him he ran for 24. this time he runs for about four more andre white made the stop at six blitz coming off the corner young fires end zone incomplete incentive for billingsley so alabama started the game young's in trouble again and he's sacked again leon o'neal third down has been a disaster as gary said mike elko aggressively brings to strong safety this time brian robinson has him but doesn't finish him up right there there's the black this should be made he's got him takes two of them actually they overloaded the side he was and had to get rid of the ball again good design by a m i thought he had the safety but overload blitz and they outnumbered bama will reichard has only missed one field goal this year it's a 38 yard try and he didn't miss this one as it draws alabama back to within a touchdown 5 44 remaining 17 to 10 ag and those third downs that gary mentioned the last three third last four third downs for alabama fumble from the 25. h.a all wrapped up for a loss tim smith kicked off and lost size smith both down to the bottom and now and eyes smith goes back in motion the other way down the sideline what a catch a chain well he looked pretty confident there i i know you said what a catch but i'm going to have to say what a threat all out blitz he knows it's coming he's got the running back on the wheel route lets it go and boom like a baton and a track meet 33-yard pickup to the 44. you can't catch it if any pairs right [Applause] so right back in alabama territory now wants to throw back over to spiller spiller broke one tackle made another guy miss isaiah spiller is going to get a first down out of this you kidding me pick up a 14. so the confidence the head coach had in his quarterback going with the wheel route and he performs comes back and then what do you do you get help from your playmakers fight could have been stopped but a good running back makes people miss towato to begin with and then he's in the secondary and makes a very positive play the two guys you've profiled and are open a chain and spiller make back-to-back big plays and this time nothing to do with it no gain out of the play will anderson made the stop there comes two extras they pick it up calzada down the middle and he throws a strike to smith to the 16 first down aggies absolutely they pick it up that's the key thing that was said remember the problem earlier for this team was the offensive lineman we saw him against arkansas get run over by a three-man rush now you get a five-man rush and they hold up on third down tremendous job by that young offensive line look at the numbers for zach calzada smith in motion they'll keep it on the ground up the middle of spiller spiller all the way to the goal line he's in touchdown isaiah spiller 15-yard scoring run patience a sprint and he falls on branch and then stretches the ball over he would have come down on the one but he actually falls on the body of brian branch and reaches it out his elbow comes down but is it the ball over the line that's exactly the video review the ruling is confirmed touchdown i mean you can't find a part of this play that was not spectacular blocked perfectly against remember this alabama defensive line look at that cut back perfectly toe-toe is in the hole but spiller dodges across accelerates and then hungry for that goal line and as jamie said mom and dad are here they don't miss a game they didn't miss a chance [Applause] erupt with the rest of the crowd here after that touchdown run 24 first half points for the a m aggies 75-yard march in seven plays isaiah spiller does it from 15 yards out as gary said what do we got here 24 to 10 going wild here kyle field with a two touchdown lead on the number one team in the country alabama has got three timeouts 209 to work with young flares it out to robinson we had to catch it three times and here he goes brian robinson down the sideline run out of bounds when he got it into aggieland dianne o'neal pushed him out that might have been fumbled i thought richardson just paused a bit first down at the 46. they go right back to brian robinson to the 40 and their back-to-back catches [Applause] young going to go deep on the sideline mitchie can't quite hold on antonio johnson got over there to make the hit that was a great job by johnson he's playing half field coverage the quarterback scans the field he knows he's got the verticals to the outside out here he looks at the safety and says can he get there can richardson get there and he does ball wasn't perfect but a good job to the outside by johnson excuse me third down remember third down has been a disaster in the first half for alabama and the last four times they've had the ball young down the middle this one's dropped billingsley had his hands on it but he got hammered and now we got a flag all right we got another look at a targeting here [Applause] damani richardson there's three defenders there oh i think he hit him with his shoulder that time first look for me is the ball is dropped personal foul targeting defense number 26. the previous play is under video reveal side of his helmet collided it looked like official jason autry with the call upcoming right now after a video review there is no foul for targeting richardson says that's the right call fans love it and that makes it fourth down and then attacking from the field fourth and four jojo earl the motion man and alabama jumps now it's down to fourth and long well we talked about the 12th man the hundred thousand now they've made a play everybody getting in the ad you got it chris owens the right tackle jumped up to punt gonna be feeling around the eight-yard line by anaya smith start draw to start yes and this guy can make a big play in a hurry but he does it this time back to the line of scrimmage [Applause] spiller again this time he's wrapped up after a short game and that might be it if nobody takes the time out here does it appear they're going to well a shocker at kyle field a team that has lost their opening two sec games were struggling against competition they felt like they could beat here comes the number one team in the country and at the break [Applause] texas a m leads by 14. this has not been a fun place for the last couple weeks with the losses right but tonight couldn't be any better let's check in with jamie coach a m is marching on offense what's going on with your defense right now yeah well we're not playing very well we're not tackling very well we're not staying in our gaps they're doing a good job of blocking us we haven't got off the field on third down so we got to play a lot better we got to do a lot better no doubt a minute left in the half you didn't call any timeouts what about that game management well what about it i mean it better got the ball back if we'd have called we had all the timeouts we'd have started calling them once it got less than a minute so but we didn't even make it we didn't need the time that we have so you don't call time out until there's less than a minute we had three timeouts so we were going good we just got a penalty on fourth down turned the ball over on the two-yard line turned it over again lots of penalties all these things contribute to not doing well you got it thanks coach all right thank you i'm surprised he's even smiling there i don't think he's going to be smiling in the locker room he got into the answer and just kept off yeah that's what we do for four hours halftime don't forget new york studio with zuck and the guys coming up next and the 12th man as jamie talked about right back in it really never took any time off during halftime either bouldin and williams back deep they'll try to keep it out of williams hands and they do well actually he feels it but they'll bring it out to the 25. welcome back brad nessler gary danielson jamie urdahl i don't think i've ever asked you this question what's alabama got to do to get back in the game well nick kind of summed it up they're not they're playing sloppy football right now but for a m they're making individual plays they're making team plays as you've seen on the runs and the coaches are making plays the blitz is bothering well designed and jimbo's calling a perfect game everything is fitting together here for this a m football team just kidding around we're not usually in this position it's normally the other team that we're talking about trying to come back let's see what alabama does with their opening march third quarter that slay bowling in motion keep it on the ground brian robinson no gain might have lost a half a yard let's check in with jamie well what do we hear all the time from head coaches it's about the process and treating every game the same way exactly what jimbo fisher came out of the half telling me every play take it one yard at a time and that's what he said to me when they were losing the arkansas at the half but they're up against the moment empty backfield on second and ten quick throw out to metchy metchy got about eight still going to bring up a third down as we took a take a look at our game trends in the first half zach calzada only missed once it was an interception bryce young's numbers he was sacked three times look at that bottom one how about that fourth game under nick trailing by this many they lost the previous three we'll see if that holds in the next two quarters first three third downs good the last five third downs for alabama not good this one is good ryan robinson broke one tackle broke a second got out to the 49. leon o'neill brought him down there robinson was the basics last week for 171 yards besides current numbers right now no gain on that one to marvin liao and on the stop out of nine blitz coming young has to throw in a hurry metchi the intended receiver he was dumped from behind by michael clemons didn't really have anywhere to go with this ball the blitz timed out perfectly one of the benefits of having the crowd being loud is that the silent count you can time up and they're getting a feel for the silent cow for alabama and they're timing up their blitzes they got their last third down on a run by robinson turning around he's the one giving the signal on the silent count to the center young waiting now rolling and going underneath the would-be tackler he got it to robinson and he got a first down how about that composure duncan chuck williams joins the backfield and they're going to flip it out to it jameson williams got to the corner got about eight the flag down [Applause] i think they're gonna get metchy with a grab with his left hand on the play that's the marvin leal down for a m defensive lineman that we just talked about during the run holding offense number eight the 10 yard penalty is enforced from the spot of the foul repeat first down he tries to help metchy tries to help and then holds with his left hand see how he holds with his left hand and then he tries to get johnson with his right hand bryce young here comes the heat again and down he goes again another sack fourth of the night and clemens has his second you have to give credit defensive coordinator mike elco his game plan is just as good as jimbo fisher you take the back out and he comes with a five-man blitz that's the second time he's freed up either a safety or a linebacker for a stop and a sack on a play he's got two sacks clemens has two sacks second down at 25. this is williams out of the backfield on the completion got it back to the 41. and then they come around the corner quickly here they come again young's got to get rid of it just barely does and it's incomplete harmlessly fouled that's the game plan and it's working and they're not going to have to change it until alabama adjusts to it antonio johnson got the heat that time there's four guys that can rush and you don't know which three are going to four that are there and three different ones come on alternate plays a beautiful defensive game plan brian robinson did what he could he got one guy but he didn't get both of them same as before remember earlier in the game when i thought he missed the block on the safety he already blocked one guy can't block two anaya smith wading back around the five-yard line for bronx punt come over to the near side of the field takes a pretty good a m hop back around the 13-yard line carbon layout yesterday we said you know nobody's even touched bryce young all year and he's getting touched tonight now the alabama defense comes up with a nice play that branch and that's in the backfield they alternate at any rate and there's where the pass is going hey the sideline so it looked like will anderson had an angle on it getting some pressure he's going to try to run for it won't get there got a yard it's fourth down and will anderson that we just talked about helps and they block it alabama on a touchdown unless his feet were out it's a touchdown nick saban's team always seemed to come up with a touchdown by something other than the offense and in this case their second block punt touchdown of the year they almost took it right out of his hand i don't even know the ball got to his foot corey brooks the man of the hour with the block punts the extra point is good and the scoreboard changes quickly and texas a m reichard's kick goes down to the three-yard line and hey change got an opening he's got world-class speed he's gone ahead takes it coast to coast touchdown aggies [Applause] 96 yards for the touchdown man as you said once he broke free no one he's gonna come close there might not be anybody else in college football that could have caught him no even if they were even with them he's gonna pull away well if he was even he was leaving and that's how you answer a blocked punt for a touchdown a kickoff return for a touchdown one play later 31-17 remember after the interception by zach cruising by alabama still down two touchdowns now play fake again trouble for young again he's gonna get called for grounding this too isn't he that wasn't a fumble i don't think i think i think you're right i think it's going to be intentional grounding though i think he threw the ball but he's been called he's going to get called well they're celebrating as if it was a fumble but i'm pretty sure that's not the case quarterback pressure came from michael clemons again they try to do the bootleg red very there's no foul for intentional grounding or receivers in the area it's an incomplete pass second down so no harm no foul at all gene oh i thought he was in the grasp and just got rid of it to me guys i think once a defender starts to tackle you and you throw a forward pass just to avoid loss of yardage even though there's someone in the proximity that is just a forward pass in my eyes to avoid loss of yardage i would have liked to have seen intentional grounding on it i have to agree with you on that one obvious was obvious what he was doing now they get a break it's just a second down slave bouldin in motion is proud as deafening right now blitz coming brian robinson trying to run by the blitz and he does brian robinson across the 40. takes tacklers out to the 48-yard line so you got to do 100 yards with a 23-yard pickup to the 49. this time no game here's that look to the left again that's been trouble for him tonight there's nobody to block for bryce young he got rid of this one though a little bit high but caught catch and jamison williams with a big catch just as he caught that he got collision holding on that ball when you're getting hit like that tremendous job holding on a great strength in the hands unheard of almost there is williams puts his head down and crosses the 30 to the 29. again remember he's getting extra man coming young's gonna air it out near sideline for williams he's got it touchdown alabama jamison williams two big plays on the drive including a 29-yard touchdown catch all right you live by the blitz you die by the blitz records extra point is up and good what a third quarter we got going it was great catch earlier in the drive now hear a high pop up that'll call a fair catch they wanted to keep it out of eight chains hands and did jane in there at the tailback spot we don't know about isaiah spiller we had a little bit of a hip injury earlier here's calzada throwing to no one you got a flag down though and maybe josh jobe was caught holding it was thrown right at him well and jimbo fisher was clapping to the officials we we met with him yesterday holding defense number 28. and jiffy went on about a five minute previous spot [Applause] diatribe exactly about how they holding kali they do everything they hold they hold and they get away with it he says they hold on every play exactly trying to get that hit loosened up here's the throw out to h.a looking for a block alabama does a nice job bring him down at about the 38 yard a little earlier we asked you the aflac trivia question which was modern era from 1950 on three people who were head coaches at both alabama texas a m the bear gene stallings and dennis francioni there they are [Applause] a little toss tonia smith alabama trying to stretch it out and they do and a flag goes down might have a holding on top of a one-yard loss and that's been just kept his hands on the offensive linemen 55 10 yard penalty from the previous spot repeat second down kept his hands out there enforced kenyan green right there to crap at the last second canyon green's their best lineman yep he grabbed toe toe on second down and 16 now a m hasn't been behind the chains quite this deep all night calzada airs it out got a man but he overshot him incomplete intended for moose mohammed saturn [Applause] zack's up to throw again that looks too high for weidermeyer and in waitemeyer probably would have gotten to the first down marker but that one just sailed on him a little bit angled to the right this one he gets away cleanly and not a very good point though goes out of bounds around the 39-yard line let's see if one but they've scored 30 or more themselves in 31 straight games and that's what they're looking for now is to get back to 31 themselves brian robinson on the carry someone 19 on the left side that's john metchi in motion they're just going to arrive brian robinson here for a while got a couple more [Applause] williams in motion stop starts they might flare it out to him they're going to go the other way and they got it to metchy on a crossing round metchi's got a first down inside the 40 down to the 38. when you're lucky enough to watch these and now back to the ground a robinson cutback taking tacklers with him for eight brian robinson becoming a load remember on the throw complete williams first down inside the 20. back in the red zone at the aggie 17. that didn't look right that didn't look right at all and whistles will blow it dead [Applause] felt like it was a slight false start offense number 70. by their kennedy first down get to 22. young pressure throws complete back inside the 20. treyshawn holden with the catch 106 815 the second largest crowd in kyle field history we told you it might be a record breaker very close to it and they have been vocal all night long amazing chris probably the final play of the third quarter upcoming bryce young empty backfield [Applause] on second and 12. goes to the end zone overshot metchy incomplete and that does bring quarter number three to a close [Applause] now the building is swaying again we head into the fourth quarter in kyle field 31-24 texas a m in front alabama trying to even things up to start the fourth at the 20-yard line third down at 12. they need to get to the seven for a first down two years ago they trailed in the fourth quarter to auburn and lost that game bryce young steps up fires complete but it's short of the first down to mecci by about a yard i think oh decision time here huh try to make it a four-point game from 26 yards away and it's up and good so alabama scores 14 and change to play 31-27 near-record crowd that still has not taken their seat and won't for the next 14 minutes and nine seconds it can guarantee you [Applause] and hm will take a knee this time bring it out to the 25-yard line let's see what the aggies do now offensively feels like the pressure is shifting but they can't run the ball back to the quarterback got a two or three for a chain out of there remember second down at seven blitz off the corner calzada rips it down midfield intended for weidermar way over his head they're looking for a flag and they finally got one late gordon battle says i didn't do anything whiter meyer says he did thought he got his hand on his hip a little bit i don't know if he turned him enough but it's there when the ball was thrown out of interference defense number nine [Applause] smith crosses the field in motion and he's going to be the recipient drop the ball in complete smart play by nia smith right there he didn't know if that was a forward pass both wide outs to the right of calzada and that's where the pressure's coming from he avoided it and now he's going to throw deep he's got a man out there oh just over the outstretched arms of anaya smith well you can see why this guy was recruited by an sec school that was almost a 60-yard throw on the run gets it down to the nine yard line he threw it from his own what 38 or 9. on the run what a throw just that madame the tight end is a slot man gonna have to hurry on the play clock just got it away calzada rips it down the middle for wildemeyer and it was in and out of his hands good job by battle defensively and it's fourth down so the elevator right there with a lot of help constantino blast this one down but it's returnable for jojo made one man miss earl trying to get to the far side to the edge nice return out to the 32 maybe the 33 yard line ryan robinson left side blasts his way for about 10. or very close to it then brian robinson again when he's pounding and it's brian robinson again and he got it he came out the back side of that group of maroon aggie slayed bold and in motion young he's gonna run again and he got it out to the 48s aaron hansford made the tackle had the rest of this season to carry the load eric did all of that one year here's the throw out to wiggins jameson williams still breaking tackles they finally got him wrapped up at about the 34-yard line so he has really come to life in this second half good young whoa that one just took off on him and hit the dirt way before it got to bouldin the intended receiver quick throw to metchy blockers in front metchi broke a tackle he's got the first down and he's down to the 20. [Applause] one-yard throw in a 10-yard gain team blocking on that play see if they go back to robinson now that's the case ryan robinson tripped up got about three leon o'neal put him down on that side second down and seven young rips one touchdown alabama lot two or did they not call it a score called it incomplete i believe yes they did finish the catch i guess nope dropped it i think that's a good call third down last look was the cleanest jamison williams crosses the field comes down to the right side now flags flying all over the place [Applause] delay a game disconcerting signals second time tonight five yard penalty remains third down i haven't seen that once in five years and we see a two in one game wonder if that they're clapping because they think alabama's going on a clap i wonder if it's that they're clapping and that's what's being called and then it moves it down to a third down at two and you do see johnson is back in the game number three it's a big difference now because it didn't maybe just go to brian robinson who's been pretty dependable on picking up short yardage well they got the numbers to run left right here oh now they don't they switched it over they're gonna throw anyway in the flat clot by robinson and he's still backpedaling inside the five watch this dead flat footed whether he runs it or catches a pass first and goal at the three flare it out john metchi trying to get to the edge not going to get there nice job by the aggie defense chappelle young fires in and out of the hands of billingsley got one hand on it that was it young incomplete intended for bolding fourth down he was open but it would have taken a perfect pass one-on-one he's in the slot right here he knew he was going there the old way all the way good coverage would better have to be a good pass it was not a good pass and it's up and perfect and remember a m has only run 10 plays in the second half need to give the defensive blow what does jimbo come riker does well to hit this one as far as he can so h [Applause] here's a big opening and it's spiller who's back in there isaiah spiller nice pickup about four they're nursing a one-point lead with eight minutes and 15 seconds to go calzada throws incompletes i think that was good defense fans wider by the tight end is the receiver on the left side he wants to go to the right fires incomplete anaya smith the intended receiver josh jobe was covering high snap he handled it lazy kick joe joe earl camps under it at the 21 and goes down immediately nice coverage by the punt team but alabama's got it back you have the advantage can alabama take advantage of all these plays robinson robot five here they come young fires in the middle mechy had his hands out of it couldn't hold it jalen jones was covering good job for a first down young fires in a crossing route and he's got jojo earl for the first down and that quiet's a crowd big one good for 18. and that's brian robinson cutting to the outside with a stiff arm and we got a good gain out of it and tyree johnson has been down a couple times tonight second down almost six to go young steps up in the pockets gonna go deep incomplete intended for earl and it was jalen jones cover nothing to go they're trying that long young throws to the outside complete to williams jamison williams another first down and brian robinson does more than just run the ball watch him on this one number four coming across to get the pickup and allow for the throw comes across stabs him just enough perfect timing again bryce young throws before the receiver leaves his cut williams over 100 yards receiving back to the ground brac to bryan robinson going forward to the 38th right down the middle jamison williams still running williams inside the 10. first and goal alabama i'll tell you just can't do it any better than this we talked about he might have missed that throw to bolden earlier but he's put that one right on target a little play action fake and that quick trigger reads it perfectly and delivers it as well and now wide open williams on the sideline touchdown alabama nobody over to cover him alabama went in a hurry [Applause] i don't know where they was close to not even being set on the play nobody home up to the top of your screen [Applause] jamison williams takes a knee and takes a touchdown oh boy i'll tell you i didn't think evan neal was set on the play he was going down into stance as the play was snapped watch evan neal left tackle go down right as the ball's being snapped i thought that should have been an illegal procedure all right now alabama's going for two they've got four receivers to bryce young's left they're a man short on the offensive line i think yeah chris owens thought they were just going to pick the extra point trying to make it a touchdown difference young quick throw again jameson williams again and it's good the bryce young to jameson williams alabama just went 82 yards and nine plays just under three minutes they not only get a touchdown pass they get the two-point conversion and now reichert kicked it out of bounds which doesn't help alabama's cause he'll bring inflation calzada down the middle got tania smith and he's out across the midfield strike to the 48 yard line of alabama plenty of time to take the easy throws no hurry here at all nice stop brow puts it right on the number beautifully designed play that's the first first string going against former assistants calzada trying to survive here and incomplete broken up by toe toe a little linebacker tight handle shift sides calzado down the middle completes it umpire trying to get out of the way and jalen preston big hit at the end of that play and preston lost his lid they boyed the flag down there is i think it's going to be on the board beyond just coming in and crashing the play at the end personal foul targeting defense number 92 the biggest players under video review [Applause] after video review there is no foul for targeting result of play is third down you know the other thing to take into account and maybe chain is behind calzada [Applause] they'll give it to him and he got the first down no decision to be made move the sticks for the aggies and we're under two timeouts yes you're calling plays with four downs throws into some traffic and he stuck it in there to weidermeyer first down well we saw the strength of his arm when he threw that long ball down the sideline but this one he guns into wydermeyer remember is upset missing that other one he couldn't miss that one right between the eight and the five just outside the 25 first down texas a m the three-minute mark toe toes coming on a blitz calzada gonna go deep to the end zone he's got a man touchdown anaya smith 25-yard strike calzada paid the price he's still down and it might be bad he got hit right in the knees as he let that ball go he waits he waits he waits and then he gets rolled up in his left leg just as he lets a perfect pass for the touchdown carry him off the field and remember the backup quarterback is a walk-on blake boasts wacom would be the number two guy [Applause] here was the extra point by seth small we had so many things going on with zach calzada being helped off the field we didn't show it for you but it's brian robinson holding on to the football and they're holding on to him for dear life jamie well if you want to take a couple of thumbs up as they come out of the medical tent that's a good thing zach calzada looks like he'll be able to come back in this game wow there's good jimbo following him in the tent jimbo's going i didn't know what it looked like in here pickup of only a yard for brian robinson second down and nine one of the few times they ran right in this game williams has been his big target this half down the middle and that's traps he had him that's billingsley saw him a little late tried to be quick with it and just didn't quite get it there could have been caught but he couldn't handle right there they've been doing it all game to the field third that one's tipped in route to metchy incomplete fourth down [Applause] time to punt for alabama how about the answer by that a m defense they see their quarterback go off all those plays they've been in and they answered alabama's first three and out this half burnip you look behind him set to punt with an eyes smith who just made the touchdown catch back as the punt returner he's going to take a crack at it from the 31. there's that to the 35 two minutes eight seconds first down at the 35. give it off to spiller and spiller lost yardage [Applause] spiller switches sides with calzada he's back to throw back pedals throws and he got it to spiller and a first down two alabama players run into each other on the play watch they run into each other and collide and that's what opens up spiller on the play pickup of 17. you see that line for a target for a field goal calzada now running on a bad wheel and running well and getting a first down just think about this for a m they've got two true freshman offensive linemen in the center the right tackle a backup quarterback with a bad knee playing against the number one team in the country got a first down at the 42. now they're very close to field goal range as we approach a minute blitz coming calzada loads fires way up into the alabama at the 42 tohoto's coming with a blitz out down the middle and he throws another strike to anaya smith same matchup zero against 14. and now they're in field goal range he knew he had it he had his slot on the strong safety and he made him pay coming up big this half now they go back to spiller brought down by will anderson [Applause] as he got it to the 27-yard line clock winding down without a half minutes [Applause] and now under a half medic trying to get it in the middle of the field i would guess unless they try something else they're going to throw off his back foot he lofts one for whatever and a flag flies in interference he can't blame alabama for blitzing they're in field goal range they tried to get them out of field goal range [Applause] has enough confidence to call a passport from a previous spot with an automatic first down the strategy obviously for bama try to get a sack get them out of field goal range man-to-man coverage balls in the air under thrown and that's when the interference happens the line of scrimmage now is going to be around the 12 or 13 yard line with that block off on the interference by hellums wherever his kicker likes absolutely it'll be spiller actually that'll get it down to the 11-yard line now it comes down to seth small nothing small about this situation out with one second left 19-game winning streak on the line the number one ranking in the country on the line the fact that a former nick saban assistant has never been able to defeat him is on the line who knows maybe a colleague football playoff position might be on the line and it's all going to come down to seth small out of kd texas the senior who's one of the better kickers in the country [Applause] last year he missed two field goals in the matchup with alabama heroic performance by zach comes out from the first drive all the way to the finish of the game so set small will trot out alabama's already blocked a punt in this game and they can only hope now that they could maybe do the same or force an errant kick or a m is going to pull the upset at home [Applause] cesmal 10-11 on the year from 28 yards away for an aggie upset win and it's good he got it the second largest crowd in the history of this stadium has seen the upset of the number one team in the country and seth small comes up big i thought it was going to go left but it knuckled back in what a game what a finish and what a happy group of aggies including their head coach he said you had to trust the process to get to this point don't worry about who you're playing just play every play like it's the biggest one the biggest one was with one second left and the winning streak of alabama is over and the winning coach is with jamie erdog coach you put yourself in that position because you had confidence in zach calzada what about his day today tell you what it's amazing he's with some tough trials and tribulations like i say you need you need time in the saddle when you're a quarterback to learn he grew up he made the plays we played well around him on defense was outstanding we made the special team plays but zach's leadership and consistency betsy we didn't move it for four straight drives in the second half and they lead us down on those two drives was remarkable when the kids around they made the play it was a total team our assistant coaches and our players did a hell of a job you've been through it not just this season but with this program and you just beat your old boss how does it feel well i have great respect for nick i always say that he's one of the best that ever did it and i learned a lot when i coached with him we had a lot of good times but we got a heck of a program here we can be special here if we allow ourselves to keep out of the wind we put some roots on ourselves we're just going to play next year out but it was a great win for him for organization congratulations coach go celebrate thank you well i guess that houston touchdown club from the summer is going jimbo told us the truth i'm going to beat him before he retires will beat alabama and today they did just remember after alabama scored the touchdown to take the lead a m came back with a touchdown a three and out and a field goal they answered even when they got behind well this is going to cost a m about 250 grand that most of the people in the stands are on the field but i don't think they care i think they'd uh happily pay the fine that's probably upcoming for what just happened tonight think you could call that a signature win for jimbo fisher absolutely in his fourth year that's got to be the biggest one well it's time now for our plays of the game presented by jersey mike subs this was zach calzado taking a hit but delivering a perfect strike to anaya smith for the touchdown and then he comes back out of the medical tent leads the team down the field including a big run for a first down and then seth small says i got this from 28 yards away for the win at the last moment a thrilling game at kyle field a lot of people were calling a m the most disappointing team in the conference and tonight they pulled off the biggest win of college football season 41 38 the final next saturday doubleheader forget don't forget we've got a undefeated kentucky and an undefeated georgia and georgia will be number one when we head to athens i can guarantee you that that's going to wrap it up for gary danielson jamie urdahl brad that's what we're saying so long from kyle field as we head to the guys in new york and upset fellas here at college station
