One point isolated what might have been the surprise of the school football season among Texas and Alabama.
Yet again texas fans will be left thinking about what might have been on the off chance that their beginning quarterback wasn't harmed.
More than a decade ago, it was Colt McCoy's injury that may have cost the Longhorns a win over the Tide in the national championship game.
This time, it was 5-star prodigy Quinn Ewers, who was off to a brilliant start before an untimely shoulder injury ended his day prematurely.
But the outcome was anything but certain until the last seconds. Let's take a look at how the game unfolded.
Alabama vs. Texas football score, highlights from Week 2 game
Tide settles for FG on first drive
Alabama didn't get into the end zone its first time out, but its offense gave us a preview of coming attractions for the season to come.
Jahmyr Gibbs, a blue-chip transfer from Georgia Tech this offseason, saw a lot of action early and should be a premier target for Bryce Young in addition to the Crimson Tide's first run option.
Tide strikes first
Near the end of the first quarter, Alabama found the big play when Jase McClellan went 81 yards for the touchdown.
The back eased out of traffic and outraced the Longhorns pursuit group. Texas' run stop is on notice.
Quinn Ewers goes deep
The Texas quarterback put on a show early with a battery of deep, accurate passes, like this bomb for Xavier Worthy against the Tide's secondary.
And then got hurt
Moments after the throw for Worthy, Quinn Ewers was driven into the ground by Alabama defender Dallas Turner.
The force of the tackle, which was penalized on the field, drove Ewers' left shoulder into the turf.
Texas answers
With its starting quarterback out of the game, Texas took to the ground as Bijan Robinson tied the game at 10 with this 2nd quarter touchdown.
An important statement for the Longhorns offense minutes after losing its starting quarterback and proving it can get yards other ways, too.
Flags, flags, flags
History as Saturday marked only the second time in Nick Saban's career as a football coach that his teams had at least 8 penalties in the first half of a game.
Always one of the most disciplined teams in football, Alabama succumbed to mistakes it doesn't usually make in the face of the loud Texas home crowd.
The worst call you'll see this year
For a moment, it appeared that Texas recorded a safety after tackling Alabama quarterback Bryce Young in the end zone early in the 2nd quarter.
Officials called a targeting play initially against Texas despite Young not being struck in the head. After a long, confusing review process, they took the targeting off the board, reversed the safety, and gave Bama a 4th down.
Alabama's statement drive
After Texas opened up the 16-10 led, Bryce Young led a vital possession to regain the lead for Alabama, including a 4th and 3 conversion and the touchdown throw to Jahmyr Gibbs across his body.
