Texas A&M finally snapped its streak without touchdowns against ranked opponents, but the Aggies dropped their fourth conference game of the season, 31-20, to Alabama in Tuscaloosa.

Texas A&M boasted a 20-1 lead after three quarters under head coach Mike Elko, but the Crimson Tide halved it in the fourth quarter to secure a crucial conference win. The Aggies' costly mistakes, including punting the ball down 11 points with four minutes remaining, dropped them to 3-4 on the year and 1-4 in SEC play.

Despite turning up the heat in the second quarter, junior quarterback Marcel Reed was anything but flawless against the Tide, completing 67% of his passes for 163 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Reed also fumbled a snap in the fourth quarter, sparking Alabama's comeback.
