The No. 11 Texas Longhorns went into Tuscaloosa on Saturday evening and pulled out a 34-24 win over the No. 3 Alabama Crimson Tide at Bryant-Denny Stadium behind a three-touchdown explosion in the fourth quarter to deal head coach Nick Saban a rare home loss.
Unsurprisingly, the post-game reactions were incredible.
— Nick Saban just doesn’t catch Ls like this as a head coach:
This is Nick Saban's 1st double-digit home loss as a college football HC since 2003 (Florida def. LSU, 19-7).

— Alabama lost a 21-game home winning streak and suffered a defeat by Texas for the first time in more than 40 years.
What a win for Texas football.

After being down 16-13, the Longhorns outscored Alabama 21-8 the rest of the game.
It is Texas' first win against Alabama since 1982.
It also snaps Alabama's 21-game home win streak.#TEXvsBAMA
