Texas A&M’s bid for an upset at No. 1 Alabama came up just short Saturday night when quarterback Haynes King’s final pass fell incomplete. With just three seconds left in the game and the Aggies offense at the Crimson Tide’s 2-yard line trailing 24-20, King threw a pass toward the sideline and short of the goal line.
The ineffective play sealed Alabama’s victory and led many observers to question the play call. That group included one of A&M’s most famous alumni, Heisman-winning quarterback Johnny Manziel, who was particularly unhappy with the play.
“One of the worst calls I’ve ever seen in my life,” he tweeted. “You have one play to beat the No. 1 team in the country and that’s what we run.”
