Yesterday was the best I've ever seen a Saban team play against that type of offense - regardless of competition level. They looked finely tuned on defense . . . no confusion.

Texas A&M is a fraud. We've been trying to tell Bama this for 2 years but I'm glad y'all are finally getting this.

I still really don't know what to expect from Texas A&M.

Their win against South Carolina to begin the season looked good at the time, but then their offense (and team) struggled against Arkansas, then proceeded to get dominated by Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Alabama.

It was an impressive beatdown, but against a team that has totally quit.

So the answer is no. Saban is still 0-3 against the past 3 ranked opponents he has faced, all running some variation of fast tempo offense.

Last night was the first time their offense really faltered compared to their opponent, at least in raw numbers. They actually outgained OM pretty handily, and while MSU outgained them, it was still pretty close. Their defense, on the other hand....

While I could have certainly understood if they had done it, the fact is that neither AP nor the coaches polls held emergency votes to revoke Texas A&M's top 25 ranking prior to the end of Saturday's game so your statement is factually incorrect.

Well 1-3 against his last 4 ranked opponents if it makes you feel better.

At what point did you see A&M play HUNH. A team that does however is OM. Yall lost to OM. State runs a version of it too.

Ole Miss certainly runs a water down version of it. Bo Wallacecan make that attack look REALLY ugly it REALLY pretty.

Considering I expected a close game and possibly getting blown out, it most certainly makes me feel better.

Saban only beats the bad HUNH teams.
