Texas A&M will try to end a five-game losing streak at Alabama when the Aggies visit No. 13 in the nation this Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. and the game will air on ABC with Joe Tessitore, Jesse Palmer, and Kris Budden on the broadcast team.
The Aggies enter the game with a 4-3 overall record and 1-3 in Southeastern Conference play. They wrapped up nonconference action last week with a 41-0 win over The Citadel. Alabama, meanwhile, is 5-2 overall and 3-2 in the SEC, but the Crimson Tide have lost their last two games. Both teams are seeking momentum as they head deeper into conference play.
Texas A&M is aiming to win in Tuscaloosa for the first time since 2012, a year when Johnny Manziel led the Aggies to a famous upset over the then-No. 1 Crimson Tide. Since that victory, A&M has lost five straight trips to Alabama and holds just one win in 11 meetings against the Tide overall since 2012. That lone recent victory came in College Station in 2021, when Texas A&M won 41-38.
The Aggies’ 2026 schedule shows a mix of highs and lows leading up to this weekend’s challenge. After defeating Missouri State and Arizona State by large margins in early September, they dropped games to Kentucky and No. 10 LSU. A win over Arkansas was followed by a loss to No. 14 Missouri, then a shutout win over The Citadel last week.
Alabama will look to bounce back after two consecutive defeats. Their SEC record of 3-2 reflects strong competition in the conference, and the home crowd at Bryant-Denny Stadium will play a role in what is expected to be a tightly contested game.
Fans can listen to the game on 97.5 FM with Andrew Monaco, Dave Elmendorf, and Will Johnson providing commentary. Texas A&M’s next games after Alabama include trips to South Carolina and Oklahoma, plus home dates against Tennessee and Texas, with the matchup against the Longhorns scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on November 27 and broadcast on ABC.
Marcel Reed and his teammates will face a tough test in Alabama’s defense and offense but will be motivated by their recent win and the chance to break a long losing streak in Tuscaloosa. The game offers a crucial opportunity to shift the momentum of their season inside an always intense SEC environment.
