The Alabama Crimson Tide needed a defensive stand to hang onto a 24-20 win against the Texas A&M Aggies in Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday night. It was an emotional contest that saw the Crimson Tide play without Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Bryce Young.
The Crimson Tide will now head on the road to Knoxville to take on the undefeated Tennessee Volunteers. Nick Saban takes his 15-year winning streak over the Vols into Neyland Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 15 at 2:30 p.m. CT.
The Crimson Tide is set to receive the ball coming out of halftime and will look to extend its lead into double digits for the first time on the evening.
The focus of the national media will be on Tuscaloosa after Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher traded offseason jabs over recruiting and the use of name, image and likeness to procure prospects.
No matter what Anderson's stats were in the 2021 Alabama loss, he would tell anyone that it wasn't enough. His focus will be leading Alabama to redemption against the Aggies in 2022.
