I just don't see this game being close.

It took 7 Tennessee turnovers for A&M to beat @Vol_Football. And in overtime at that. Who else have they beaten? A pretender in @FootballAU and a crappy @UCLAFootball team in OT. @NzoneFootball coached for them last season and knew enough to help.

Say what you want about the Tennessee game but we were 1/2 yd away from winning in regulation by 14 points. And the Tennessee team we played was 100% healthier than the one you played.

I think if both teams play their best games, Bama is about 10 points better. A&M has the WR's to exploit a Bama secondary that has been susceptible to giving up big plays. Question will be whether Knight has time to find them. I see them using a lot of quick throws to try and get the WR's in space.



While the A&M has significantly improved, I still think they are weak(by SEC standards) right up the middle. Tennessee gashed them all day right up the middle, and I don't see any reason why Bama won't be able to do the same.


Turnovers will be the key to this game. A&M has a few, and it will get out of hand quickly. Bama has a few, and it'll make it a nail biter.

I'm torn. I think back to last year where Bama limped into the last game before the bye and was tired and barely beat UT. But this year feels different. We've only had 1 close game in the first half of the season. Most of the other games, we have been able to sit our starters for the 4th quarter. I believe this has helped in 2 big ways. Our starters are fresher, plus we've gotten some good experience for our backups.
Screw it. I just talked myself into a blowout!

I don't think A&M matches up well with Bama. I'm more worried about LSU and Auburn than A&M.

Most years, TAMU jumps up and beats a team we have no business hanging with (on paper).

Even when Bama is good, y'all usually have a "wtf" game.

We'll see if those intersect tomorrow, I guess.

If you go back and review the UT game, after getting out to a big lead Sumlin did the worse thing you can do against UT. He got conservative and shut down their offense to burn clock. TAMU is better than the team that played UT. They have had 2 weeks to learn how to tackle too (worse tackling I've ever seen). We are easily good to beat the 19 point line but I think it will be closer that that.

Bama will win going away because aTm can't tackle. Simple as that.
