Our defense is very good. But, they are human. If Milroe is producing 3 and outs over and over again. Our defense will get tired, A&M will start scoring and we will lose.

No, he just can’t turn it over. He turned it over three times last year I believe; two lost fumbles and an INT; and still managed to win. If Alabama avoids turnovers Saturday they win.

Milroe is going to have to produce points as well preferably via TD drives. If he can't do this he will get benched. And, you will see him in situational spots (wildcat) for the rest of the season.

And to do that he will have to throw deep. Y’all won’t run on A&M. Screens won’t work. RPOs won’t work. Deep balls will work. Our corners are vulnerable. But he’s going to have to stand in the pocket and take hits while throwing deep.

A&M is playing very disciplined defensively right now. If he can get some deep passes he can open up underneath a lot more.

But until that happens it’s going to be hard to get short yardage.

I think it depends on how the offensive line plays and also his internal clock to get the ball out. I would assume that A&M will do everything they can do to stop the run and force Bama to pass. If the offensive line can hold up in pass protection, I think Milroe can play the type of game he would need to play for Bama to win. Milroe also can’t just hold onto the ball forever and take needless sacks.

In short, Alabama’s offense could do exactly what they need to do to successfully move the ball through the air. They could also collapse and struggle to move the ball consistently.

This week reminds me so much of two weeks ago. Ole Miss fans were so confident that Ole Miss couldn’t lose. Their offense was just so good, unstoppable. Alabama had no chance to slow them down.

This week, Aggie can’t lose. Their defense is a wall, unable to be breached except by a perfect long ball. Alabama has no chance to run the ball. Aggie’s DL will be living in the Alabama backfield.

We will see what happens I guess.

When Alabama rolls up 300 yards on the ground…

Bama ranks 122nd in the nation in sacks allowed. A&M ranks 50th.

Just some information to consider in your analysis.

You’re 122nd in the nation in sacks allowed. Just so you know.

And that is why Alabama is going to have a run focused offense on Saturday.

Your defense gave up 48 points to Miami. Sorry I am not shitting my pants because you held Auburn to 10 points and Arkansas to 22 points.

Simpson or Lonergan. If Milroe doesn't become a serviceable passer in this game you will see Simpson or Lonergan. Saban cannot afford to give Milroe more time to develop especially with the one-time immediate transfer rule at play. Our WRs and TEs won't stick around for another season with Milroe.

Wonder where they'd be if Milroe would stop running out of bounds behind the LOS and throw the ball away more often?

I'm a Bama fan but this is the sort of stuff I don't get. Ole Miss's best defensive player is Suntarine Perkins, a true freshman. A&M's entire DL is NFL bound. And, I mean 1st and 2nd round guys. I have yet to see a Bama fan that is pissed like I am that our offense only scored 24 points against Ole Miss. To me that is cause for serious concern. Our offense isn't good at all. How are we running for 300 yards on NFL bound guys with no creditable passing game?!

Milroe will be successful if he will just pick out and throw to the primary receiver…don’t try finding other receivers….if the primary isn’t open….tuck and run.

Here is some data for your analysis of Aggies’s dominate defense.

Miami (FL) scored as many points (48) against Aggie as any other team they have played this year. They scored 7 less points against Temple and 10 less points against Miami-Ohio than they did against Aggie.

Auburn scored 10 points on you. In their two other “real” P5 games Auburn scored 20 against Georgia and 14 against Cal. Auburn is not an offensive juggernaut.

Arkansas scored 22 points on you. In their two other “real” P5 games Arkansas scored 31 points against both LSU and BYU. We have seen what kind of defense LSU has. And BYU has had two other “real” P5 games and they gave up 38 points to Kansas and 27 points to Cincinnati. So, you held Arkansas to 9 less points than two absolute trash defenses.

Transitive properties aren’t 100%, but that is a lot of data points. And based on all that I don’t think that Aggie’s D is what you think it is.

And Jalen still has the 4th highest QBR in the SEC, and 18th nationally. Wonder what will happen if the OLine has a good day?

No, he will not. If Milroe is running a lot in this game he will be playing into A&M's hands and we will lose.

Misleading statistics.

How many pass attempts does he have?

We threw what 1 pass in the first half against MSU. The OC is trying to hide Milroe for a reason.

Saban is playing 4-D chess. He has a magical unicorn that is already loaded on the equipment truck and headed toward Texas. That unicorn farts a magical mist that will convert the OL into masters of the universe for 3 -1/2 hours. The mist will also open Milroe's eyes so he can read the defense and execute to perfection.

That's all I've got at this point.
