Alabama football and Nick Saban look to score a victory over Texas A&M and Jimbo Fisher on Saturday.

The No.1 Crimson Tide (5-0, 2-0 SEC) is fresh off a win over Arkansas while the Aggies (3-2, 1-1) have already lost two games this year. One of those was to Appalachian State. So, Texas A&M is no longer ranked.

The circumstances are similar to 2021 when the Aggies didn't look as if they would have much of a chance against undefeated Alabama. Then Texas A&M won at Kyle Field.

Alabama will look to avoid the same mistake this time around.

Each team enters with quarterback uncertainty. Alabama starter Bryce Young left the Arkansas game with a shoulder injury. Texas A&M starter Max Johnson exited the loss to Mississippi State with a hand injury. Haynes King replaced him, and Jalen Milroe filled in for Young.

Is injured Alabama quarterback Bryce Young healthy enough to play?

Young remains day-to-day with a shoulder injury he suffered against Arkansas.

"No decision is going to be made until he decides and we decide from a medical staff standpoint whether he can go out there and functionally do his job," Saban said.

Young, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, has no structural damage in his shoulder and will be a game-time decision. He has completed 90 of 134 passes for 1,202 yards, 14 touchdowns and three interceptions this season.

Fourth quarter

FINAL: Alabama 24, Texas A&M 20.

Haynes King's back-shoulder throw to Evan Stewart isn't close to being complete. Poor decision/play call for the Aggies. Terrion Arnold with excellent coverage on Evan Stewart.

Alabama is now 6-0 and 3-0 in the SEC. Aggies fall to 3-2.

Next week is a trip to Tennessee. Bryce Young will need to be available and healthy for that one.

3 seconds left: Wow. A defensive pass interference waves off a Jordan Battle INT in the end zone.

First and goal from the 2. Aggies have gone 69 yards on this drive, but Alabama cannot concede two more. Haynes King has been pressured but not sacked on this drive.

What a finish.

1:50 left: Moose Muhammad returns the punt to the A&M 29. 71 yards to go for Haynes King. Alabama's defense needs to make a play.

2:05 left: Three Alabama runs cannot gain 10 yards. Timeout A&M. 4th and 2.

3:40 left: Aggies make one fourth down, then can't move the ball. After a couple procedural penalties on another fourth down attempt, the Aggies attempt and make a 45 yard field goal.

Alabama 24, Texas A&M 20. Aggies with one timeout.

6:20 left: Aggies call timeout on 4th and 2 from the Tide 30-yard line.

A&M down to one timeout.

7:25 left: Aggies into Alabama territory. When he has time, Haynes King has been accurate.

9:15 left: Will Reichard is wide right from 35 yards out. Oh boy.

Milroe made a good third down throw and, combined with a roughing the passer penalty, got the Tide within scoring range off the A&M penalty on the punt.

Still Alabama 24, Texas A&M 17.

12:10 left: Milroe throws incomplete under pressure on third down. He's 10-of-16 for 98 yards and three TDs with an INT through the air.

A delay of game penalty on A&M during the punt extends the drive at midfield. A key moment?

Third quarter

42 seconds left: Will Reichard's 47-yard field goal is wide left. That proceeded a bad Jalen Milroe sack on a scramble.

5:19 left: Texas A&M has to settle for a field goal.

Alabama 24, Texas A&M 17. All the Aggies points off turnovers.

7:18 left: Jase McClellan fumbles, and the Aggies recover. Then, Haynes King takes a shot downfield and hits Moose Muhammad.

13:03 left: Touchdown Alabama. Great playcall, with Ja'Corey Brooks getting free on a crosser in a tight formation. 29-yard TD.

Alabama 24, Texas A&M 14.

14:49 left: Jahmyr Gibbs' longest run of the day to midfield.

Second quarter

HALFTIME: Alabama 17, Texas A&M 14.

Late Haynes King INT gives Alabama chance to take halftime lead

12 seconds left: Will Reichard's 49-yard field goal is good.

Jermaine Burton's unsportsmanlike conduct penalty made the field goal longer, and Burton is frankly lucky to still be in the game. Looked like he was trying to land a punch. This isn't a Warriors practice, Jermaine.

38 seconds left: Haynes King is pressured and intercepted by Terrion Arnold. Alabama ball at the A&M 30.

Jimbo Fisher is not happy with his QB.

1:14 left: Jalen Milroe heaves a pass on 3rd and long, and it is intercepted. This time, A&M will take over in its own territory.

Texas A&M takes advantage of a second Jalen Milroe fumble

2:12 left: Haynes King rolls to the right, then throws back to a wide open Donovan Green in the end zone.

Texas A&M 14, Alabama 14. Those two turnovers critical.

3:25 left: Haynes King to Evan Stewart on a deep shot. First and goal, A&M.

3:33 left: Jalen Milroe is sacked and fumbles again. Aggies ball near midfield. Second time he's done that in the first half.

4:34 left: Dallas Turner sack. Texas A&M punt.

Jermaine Burton TD puts Alabama ahead

5:33 left: Jermaine Burton shakes an A&M defender after catching pass over the middle and houses it. 35-yard touchdown catch out of the slot.

3 plays, 75 yard drive. That's more like it. Alabama 14, Texas A&M 7.

Texas A&M takes advantage of Jalen Milroe fumble

6:33 left: Touchdown A&M. Haynes King to Moose Muhammad on 2nd and goal.

Aggies take advantage of the Alabama turnover and even the score. Alabama 7, Texas A&M 7.

Aggies with the ball at the Alabama 30.

Alabama on the board via a Jalen Milroe TD pass

11:33 left: Jalen Milroe makes the A&M defense pay for the blitz. He finds an open Cameron Latu for a 10-yard touchdown up the left seam.

Alabama 7, Texas A&M no score.

12:59 left: Finally some offense! And it comes on a pair of Jalen Milroe scrambles. First one was for 14 yards, the other for 33. Alabama's offense moves into the red zone.

First quarter

13 seconds left: 7 drives, 7 punts in the first quarter.

Haynes King is the Texas A&M quarterback tonight.

3:27 left: Jahmyr Gibbs is stopped well behind the line of scrimmage on a run to the left on 3rd and short. That'll signal another punt.

5:03 left: Been a lot of punting so far. Jalen Milroe started the game at QB and has not made an impact through the air. A lot of runs from Milroe and Jahmyr Gibbs to this point against a stingy A&M defender.

Pregame

The Tuscaloosa News' Nick Kelly reports that he did not see any throws from Bryce Young in warmups. If he can't go, it's the Jalen Milroe show again. Young is dressed, though.

Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher did shake hands at midfield.
