re: Largest road crowds this Texas team has played in front of

The crowd won't make a difference. If Bama happens to win, it's only because of Saban.

Texas can win. The NIL+Tranfer Portal keeps them from stock piling talent. Ask LSU.

I'll be the first to admit that the average Alabama home crowd at BDS isn't as loud or intense as Tiger Stadium, Jordan Hare, the Swamp, Neyland Stadium, Kyle Field, or Williams Brice but to say the crowd won't make any difference is a bit absurd. Using your Bulldogs as an example, the one and only time Alabama fans actually got up for State visiting Tuscaloosa (2014 when State came in ranked #1 and a trip to Atlanta was on the line) the home crowd was absolutely a factor.

Texas absolutely can win. They absolutely have the athletes and coaching to come into BDS and leave with a big win. In fact, it's that very real threat of ending Bama's long streak of home wins against non-conference opponents that will have the home crowd geared up to be a factor in the game. Should be a close game whichever way it ends up going.
