Let's talk Texas A&M

I am still leery of our tendency to turn the ball over. Therefore, I am predicting a higher scoring game.

Alabama 42 TAMU 38, with three of TAMU's runs starting on our side of the field.

What is "a lot?" I expect them to score under 20 points.

I haven't watched but a few plays of TAMU this year, but I have so much faith in our defense that I am just not worried.

I think that our offense will have a lot of success on Saturday with Henry and Drake. If the short passing game is on point, then we should win easily.

our D is better than last year but our O is not.

Statistically speaking, our offense is at least as good as last year's.

maybe so but our TO's have led to many points for the other team. Look at Ole mrs. This is a huge concern

FIFY

Like most big games over the last several years. If we don't turn the ball over and keep stupid situational penalties at a minimum, we should win.

I think we're better than they are at every single position except QB and K.

Doesn't TAMU run a spread of some sort? Haven't really watched them this year although I know that's what they've done in the past.

Overall I think our d keeps them in check but they are able to score a few times. In my mind our defense will certainly be able to hold them enough for us to win the game. I think those spread teams can put up some points on our d though just by design.


I think the real key of the game is our o-line vs their defense. Our line play has been very inconsistent so far so its really hard to predict if they will show up. If they can play like they did against Wisconsin or Ga....then I think Coker plays well and we win. When Coker has had time he has played well.

But if they play like they did against Ole Miss...Coker has proven to make some bad decisions and force the ball out instead of throwing it away or just taking the sack if he has lineman in his face. If our o-line doesn't show up then I will worry about turning the ball over too much. Hopefully our d can force a few turnovers.

I don't think its a coincidence that our o-lines worst game was against the most talented front 7 we have played so far (Ole Miss). They've got some talented guys there.

Does anyone know about TAMU's front 7? D-Line? I think thats the real key. We know our defense is gonna show up and at least slow down their offense enough to allow us to win.

Overall I think we win by 10 or so. Maybe something along the lines of 34-27 or 37-27 or something like that.

Everything depends on Coker. Our defense will show up but Coker's play and the offenses efficiency will be the difference. If he turns the ball over or is very inaccurate, it will keep both there team and crowd in the game, but I have a lot of faith in our D, and I am one who believes that our secondary has improved a great deal. Also, for some reason, when we play away from home, our focus is there. Tide rolls 31-13

We are going to murder them.

You all watch and see! A&M won't score more than 17 on us, and we're going to intercept them all day. I bet we even get a pick six.

38-17 Bama. Coker won't have to show up as much as you all think. Running game will establish who's in control of this game. Our D will do the rest.

ALL HAIL LORD SABAN and his Sabanauts.

But seriously, I ain't nervous. Time we laid a good arse kicking on A&M. Again. Like last year.

If we can flush them out of the pocket (we will) and contain the qb (probably will as well), then he will be making bad throws. We just have to take of the ball and put together long drives.

TAMU's DEs are really really good at pass rush, but probably not so much at stopping the power run.

The key for Bama will be to not get into 3rd & long situations, pass on 1st & 2nd down, and roll Coker out of the pocket if they aren't biting on play action.
