CBS Sports is benefiting from a crimson-oriented tidal wave.
Texas A&M’s Saturday upset of Alabama was the second-most-watched college game of the season, according to overnight Nielsen audience figures.
The leader: Alabama’s dramatic come-from-behind victory over LSU the previous Saturday.
A specific audience report will be available Monday.
Still, here’s a fascinating figure regarding the ratings tide: Saturday’s audience was 136 percent higher than the Auburn-Georgia contest broadcast a year ago in the same time period.
Last week, I was somewhat critical of Gary Danielson and Verne Lundquist for losing focus during the game’s last minute and not realizing Alabama had a chance for victory.
The CBS duo was on target Saturday in describing the ebb and flow of this thriller.
