Goombaw, The Ags offense is pretty good. The thing about last year is that Bama had a very good offense. It appears that the offense is somewhat shaky. For whatever reason Bama only managed a little over 200 yds in first game. If Bama struggles on offense at all, the defense stays on the field longer. Can the D stay on the field for 90 to 100 plays on a hot afternoon in only the second game of the year AND play at a high level? Very unlikely.

It's not like Bama is coming in to College Station with an established 270 yard per game rushing attack. Bama just doesn't have the type of passing attack that causes A&M fits. Quick, spread type passing is a problem for A&M. That is just not Bama's style. If Bama offense can keep Ags off the field with long drives and keep your D fresh, then Ags won't come close to 40 points.

I think Ags will wear Bama D out just because of the speed, pace of play,it will be hot, and Bama probably isn't 100% in game shape after a game and a bye week.

For me this is just a bad matchup for Bama. Bama definitely has the athletes but they just don't match up well with A&Ms offensive strengths. Sometimes matchup are just bad. Just my opinion based on what I have seen.
