Live updates on Bryce Young injury, Crimson Tide
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.
