Alabama beat Texas A&M 31-20 on October 24, 2026, responding after the upset loss to Tennessee. Marcel Reed threw a pick six to start the game and finished with three bad turnovers, and Alabama scored 14 straight points after a Texas A&M turnover on downs. The discussion turns on Reed's regression, whether he has been overcoached, and the effect of NIL money on development, with Alabama on a bye before LSU on November 7.
