This offense is better than the one that scored 4 TDs last year. Why is only 2 this year generous?



...and you truly think the defense the Aggies face Saturday will be the same as last year?

Two big things: 1. No LSU influence, 2. Payback

I think A&M scores more, but Bama wins fairly comfortably. 34-24 ALA.

Bama 38
aTm 13

I would not be surprised at all to see a 52-6 game either.

Florida game is not a good point of reference regarding A&M's offense being stopped. I thought SEC fans were smart about CFB?

yea, because Bama's defense sucks.....


They were pretty good last year, too, from what I remember.

If they get down again early, Bama may well lose this game.

If Saban's throwing headsets in disgust late in the 3rd qtr, the party's over.

And i suppose the LSU game isn't either. Any game that Johnny frickup looks mortal gets thrown out right.

The point is he hasnt looked mortal since he became a great passer.

Someone said earlier that A&M's offense is better this year? Could you enlighten me as to why that is? I know you lost the receiver Manziel was most confident in from last year and the best tackle in the conference.

I'm more curious as opposed to shite talking since I have no dog in this fight

6 days prior to Bama's game against aTm, what happened?

Manziel is a better passer, our offensive line actually looks better than it did early last year, our running back depth is absurd and Mike Evans is going HAM.

So, Bama is the only team with something to prove?

1. JFF is frickING MAD at the bullshite and tired of hearing "fluke" blah blah
2. This is probably the biggest game in modern A&M football history. We win, we are on track for a shot at the title.
3. Kyle against a #1 is at least a 7 point advantage
4. Did I mention that this is the biggest game in modern A&M football history?

We've got MORE incentive to win this game that ANYBODY IN THE NATION would have. This is our shot to change the perception that will linger in your longhorn mind. We have more reason to beat the frick out of Bama than the reverse. Motivation is not a factor.

Bama is going to crush aTm this Saturday.....it wont even be close. I expect the aggression to be at such a level you lose 1-2 starters for most of the year as well.

He's projected as a top 10 pick and is the best tackle in the best conference. He's given up three sacks in 40 career starts

I can buy the Manziel as a passer, and the RB depth, although I'm not sure how much that matters in a 1 game scenario

The OL I don't know if I can buy based on the 2 games A&M has played. I'm not sure this is 1 player on either of the DLs they have seen thus far that would warrant a scholarship from A&M or Bama (I don't know this for a fact but I am assuming it based on where the kids are playing college ball). This is really A&M's first test against good players.

Although Bama's O struggled against VT, VT is a good defensive team in most years, and Bama has played a team with a pulse (not much of one, but VT has one)

They're close, but they shorted Bama a TD.

Bama wins 38-17.

By "crush" do you mean hurt a bunch of players or beat A&M by a wide margin, or both?

I understand that- and I'm sure Bama was very banged up.

But there is no denying that A&M- and yes, Superboy- got better & better as the year went on. I'm big enough to admit they were as good as ANYONE at the end of the season.

I just think Bama isn't the only team that's had this game circled for the past several months.

I'm not yet convinced ANY team is a world-beater, just yet....The season is an infant.
