TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- , Keelon Russell threw for 311 yards and three touchdowns, including a pair of fourth-quarter scores that helped Alabama pull away, and the 13th-ranked Crimson Tide beat Texas A&M 31-20 on Saturday to end a two-game skid. The Tide (6-2, 4-2 Southeastern Conference) entered the teams’ first meeting since 2023 coming off losses to Georgia and Tennessee. Alabama trailed 20-17 in the second half before taking control with a fourth-down stop and two scoring drives. Russell completed 19 of 30 passes with an interception, and he found Daniel Hill , Marshall Pritchett and Kalen Edwards for TDs. His No. 1 target was Rico Scott , who finished with six receptions for 156 yards as Alabama played a second consecutive game without Ryan Coleman-Williams (knee). “Rico came up in a big way,” Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer said.
