After being called for pass interference on a would-be game ending interception, Texas A&M had the ball at the Alabama 2-yard line with three seconds to play.
The Aggies, sitting with a disappointing 3–2 record on the season, had the Crimson Tide on the ropes for the second year in a row.
Aggies quarterback Haynes King took the snap and fired a mistimed sideline comeback to wide receiver Evan Stewart. Even if Stewart caught it, he would have been out of bounds short of the goal line, ending A&M’s hopes of a victory. It was a questionable play call to say the least before considering the poor execution.
