re: Can Milroe manage the game for a Bama win?

My observations:

Defense:
Both DL > both OL, No advantage
Alabama LB > A&M LB, Advantage Alabama
Alabama DB > A&M DB, Advantage Alabama, particularly tackling

Offense:
QB, A&M, Good Passing/average running
QB, Alabama, suspect passing, very good running

Alabama WR = A&M WR, No advantage
A&M TE > Alabama TE, Advantage A&M
Alabama RB = A&M RB, when running, no advantage
Alabama RB > A&M RB, pass blocking, small Alabama advantage

Coaching: Advantage Alabama

Milroe's game to win, or lose. Milroe is a very good open field runner and I think A&M LB/DB will get exposed if the DL loses containment. Texas has good LB that forced Milroe to the sideline when he broke containment. Milroe playing for his hometown crowd (Katy), I think he'll be ready.

Can A&M keep Max upright? A&M pass protection suspect at best, RB's are bad. Miami blitzed A&M's all day. A&M went 5 wide w/ no RB/TE protection when CW got hurt. Ugly game if Max is under constant pressure. If he has time, may be a different story.
