I don't see how you can be for starting a QB that is completely unproven over a current starter who is the most proven QB in the SEC. That is ludicrous to me.
Kyle Allen is killing it this year, and he saved A&M's season last year from being a dumpster fire, and you want him benched? Crazy world, man.

I actually like this game for us. At the beginning of the season I was a little concerned but their defense(somewhat improved) seems very undisciplined. Yes they come up with some big plays here and there but overall their is a reason they 11th overall in total defense in the SEC. They are also 12th overall in the SEC in rushing because they over commit trying to make the big plays if you have watched them this year.
I also think if our D comes to play our O does not have to be special. I was looking at some numbers and aTm is not that impressive on D. We gave up 220yds against Arkansas while they gave up 457yds. Our O in a lackluster effort last week put up 396yds against the piggies D and aTm with this high octane offense put up 423yds.
Other numbers I like in our favor even with our average O this year are:
Coker's completion rate is 59.9%
aTm defense allows opposing QBs 59.6%
Henry rushing for 110yds per game
aTm allows 192yds per game.
Again our O does not need to be great against their D, just limit the turnovers and do what they have been doing all season. Their O will be the one that has to step up. They have yet to play a D like ours and we are currently sitting at 8 ints(2nd in the SEC).

As the week goes on I do feel more and more confident about the game.
Can't wait for Saturday.

Honestly I'm just excited to experience the atmosphere. Was born in Alabama but have never gotten to see the Tide play in person.
College Station has been abuzz all week, according to my family there
Y'all travel safe to the Lone Star State, those of you who are making the trek

Nice, man. That's awesome. It will be electric.

I'm not even "sort of" confident about this game, honestly.

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.

It's nice to see that neither side is too certain of the outcome. Probably means it will be a good game.

I'm confident in our ability to get shite done, doesn't mean I'm not nervous about the game.
I will say I don't have that feeling in the pit of my stomach like I did for OM and Ohio.

How's it goin' my man? Every week an opposing fan posts and without fail...SOMEONE flips out about letting them join. Figured with Alabama being undefeated, I had to keep the trend going.
But they don't know that as life long Cavs/Lebron fans from birth, we go way back

I just got Spurs season tickets....we may have to engage in fisticuffs over that statement, good sir
Technically nobody "let" me on (all the board mods can post on any board, we just try not to abuse that).

I really have no guess.
The over/under came out at 47 and everyone jumped on it.It's 54 1/2 now.
The line hasn't moved from Bama -3 1/2.
I see you Tbird.Good luck to y'all today.Should be fun.
