The handshake of the year happened right around 6:36 p.m. at midfield of Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher had an interaction lasting around 35 seconds as Alabama and Texas A&M warmed up for the 7 p.m. game. It was one of the most anticipated pregame greetings after a tense offseason regarding the recruiting world.

The two promised they buried the hatchet after Saban accused Texas A&M of buying every member of its No. 1 recruiting class. Jimbo Fisher fired back with a scorched earth news conference the following day but the tensions eased since.

Alabama is a 24-point favorite against a Texas A&M team that entered the season No. 6 but lost two games since.
