they'd better let knight pass and pass often on first and second down, and his receivers better make some plays or lugenbill is going to be right on the money, I fear.

Tennessee oline SUCKED. App State whipped them up front. So last week can be a little miss leaded. If A&M can run the ball to prevent them from being one dimensional, then they will move the ball on their defense. Turnovers have killed the Aggies in games past against the TIde, and the Tide defense has just taken that up another notch this year. A&M has to prevent the big play, put pressure on their freshman QB, and contain him. On offense that cannot turn the ball over, if they do its going to be a long day.

If I'm aTm I play 9 guys at the line of scrimmage, get right up in the face of Ridley and Stewart and dare Hurts to throw it over the top. He hasn't shown yet that he can do it.

Didn't Tennessee lose their starting right AND left tackle in the first quarter against BAMA.?

i think its a fair point. A&M is better at rushing than passing this year. Better than Tennessee's ground game based on the numbers.

But Knight has to be more accurate and the WRs have to win some one on ones. Hoping Mazzone can draw up a better game plan. Because we do have some WRs who can make great individual plays.

I think the key is limiting Bama's non offensive touchdowns.

Can Aggies confirm this? I haven't watched the Aggies one bit this year, but I thought they were a balanced team?



We have very good passing offense when Knight passes the ball very well... which he does from time to time. Knight also has stretches where he doesn't throw well. He is streaky.

We need a loooong streak of the good version of Knight. Longest of the season. He's not a turnover/interception machine when off... just a 3 and out type of QB.

Like a prize in crackerjacks... we just don't know.

I think so Tennessee was bang up going into the game. They had like six starters out both from the offensive and defensive line. Aggies just can't turn the ball over. Sure you are going to have drives that stall, but don't give Alabama a short field to work with. Sumlin has to stress that. It okay to punt when you can play good defensive. They have to limit the big play.

Tamu can win this game. I think bama takes it, but tamu is not some soft arse team that will take it lying down.

Knight is going to have to play like he did when he played Alabama in the Sugar Bowl with Oklahama to win this game. He cant turn the ball over Sumlin has to keep Bama off balance. Saban wants to make teams one dimensional. If they can balance run and pass they will have a chance. It is a big if though. A big one.

We aren't going to match the intensity of the Tennessee game.

We will be ready but I don't expect a huge blowout at home. We usually play with more fire on the road in big games and play more tight at home.

I could see anything from a close one score game to a 3 possession lead.

This is a horribly detrimental thing for y'all in this game. Gotten where y'all are because you're the best rushing offense in the country...and y'all are about to get your shite pushed in attempting to move the ball on the ground.

You're a tough man to impress. They lead the league in rushing while ranking 4th in passing. No other team ranks in the top 5 in both

Yeah, because what he said was soooo stupid. Y'all line up and run on early downs and this will be another laugher.

We were down 4/5 starting lineman, and the one starter left just had surgery on a torn thumb ligament.

And if they are smart, they will hold to maintain those numbers. No penalties being called on Bama opponents. Only one called on ut, therefore Bama is still #128 in this category.
