What do you take away from the A&M game?

This years team has me scratching my head more than ever. They looked like an entirely different team today. Here's hoping they are finally hitting their stride.

They played with emotion for the first time since the aTm game last year.

Let them horses run and RTR!

We play loose at home.

Play calling has been much better in BDS.

This team can be very good. Will we? Who knows. I am just excited to see a team that looks like it actually enjoys playing football.

To be honest, not much.

Proud of our D but I think Aggy O is highly overrated and were still being highly touted because of the 1st game against USC...and as the season progressed USC is fricking atrocious and would probably get pounded by Bama the same way A&M just received...Both are 10-14 (USC, A&M, Tenn, Vandy, Florida) range in the SEC.

And for our O, I mean it's Texas A&M...their D has been shitty since they have been in the SEC..so I really don't feel anymore confident about the rest of the schedule even after this game.

Most talented team in CFB

No one can touch them if they play with the heart and emotion every week.

They played loose. They had fun. But it's still aTm. More impressive performance by defense than offense and to be honest I'm OK with that. Would love a second shot at OM with this improved more confident defense.

I think confidence within the team can go a long way with this group. It appears to me that is something that has really been lacking at times this year.

You have to feel good for Sims and the team as a whole.
They now know what they can do and look like Bama should.

My take is the defense has grown up.

Grant Hill should be starting at RT.

TJ Yeldon is running mad.

This team has very good chemistry now.

Ragland should play the hybrid role against all spread option teams.

Loved seeing that. That was also the best I've seen Depriest look in a while.

Get JK some PT because we weren't punting?

Ditto, DePriest playing that well likely played a big part of letting Ragland play more freely as a lineman. Getting his sea legs back after his knee trouble.

It's probably what Devall would be doing now, but they still did a great job scheming it without him. Front 7 looking elite, and they did so against what was formerly considered a talented OL.

Have to agree. I don't think a team in the nation could have beaten this Bama team today. If we played to that level against OM we win by 14. I hope we get up like that for MSU and AU

I still think we beat OM if Ryan Kelly doesn't go out. Our offense just died after that. Bozeman stepped up today and looked much better.

I just loved seeing the guys having fun out there. I don't think I have really seen that since the LSU game last year.
