Prophetic.
The ending was bad, but honestly, that wasn't as bad as most Alabama victories.
The fake field goal, the failed onside kick, the Ware-Under-Center on 4th and almost 2 - those were typical "Oh, Shit I'm Playing Alabama Better Fuck Up" mistakes.
Playing prevent was just bad strategy. Bad strategy happens.
Tune in next week for a better indicator - Johnny Football will punt the ball out of his own endzone. A quick wide receiver screen will bounce off of the open receiver's hands and directly into the hands of a sprinting-towards-the-endzone Bama DB. A&M will snap the ball over their punter's head and then five A&M players will each miss an easy shot to recover the ball and instead the ball will bounce into the endzone and be recovered by a Bama player for a touchdown.
