The Alabama Crimson Tide escaped an embarrassing home loss to the Texas A&M Aggies this past Saturday, and it may be because a certain cornerback has a keen eye for lip-reading. 

Alabama’s redshirt freshman corner Terrion Arnold told AL.com that he read the lips of Aggies head coach Jimbo Fisher on the final play of the game, where the Crimson Tide were backed down on their own 2-yard line with Texas A&M having three seconds to win the game. 

"He’s going ‘Evan, Evan, Evan,’" Arnold said at that moment when a touchdown for the Aggies would make it the second year in a row they upset the College Football Playoff favorite.

The pass did, in fact, go to Evan Stewart, the five-star recruit wide receiver that had eight catches for 106 yards to that point, including a 23-yard reception against Arnold on that final drive. 

This time, though, Arnold was ready for it. Using outside shade on the receiver, he read his hitch route like a book, and the throw from quarterback Haynes King wasn’t even close.

Arnold was right there as Stewart extended his arm but to no avail. The ball sailed out of bounds and the Crimson Tide held on to remain undefeated at 6-0. 

"If they throw it my way, I don’t want to be the most hated man at Alabama," Arnold added.
