re: Am I crazy or Bama -1 at TAMU free money?

Not sure if you are new to college football or not. 2 years ago Ags beat Bama at Kyle Field.

Last year at Bama we didn’t convert on last play inside 5 and lost.

I can appreciate the 4th Q comment though.

Yikes.

Aggie has a lot of talent. Then, you have to add in home field and the recurring theme of "okay" QBs catching lightning in a bottle and looking like Heisman candidates vs Bama at times. Plus, I think the OL will be challenged, and I have no confidence that the discipline issue for penalties is completely behind the team once the crowd noise and big game environment nerves kick in.

Bama could easily lose a close game, win a close one, or play to their ability and breakout for a big win.

So, long way to say, I don't think it's free money. Too many unknowns still remain about this year's team and staff.

But, I love the way the team is trending and the players' attitudes. They seem focused and like they are gelling as a team.

A&M beat Alabama in 2021 with 3rd & Calzada at QB.. Even if they didn’t have all the talent they have, they could win or lose the game.

It’s a coin flip.

If I had to bet my life on it, I truly don’t know which way I would pick it.

A&M/Bama has gone down to the final play of the game the last two years and that was w/Zach Calzada and Haynes King at QB.

A&M will not win. Why ? Because they are A&M. Sure they almost won last year and won the year before . But the difference ? They had nothing to play for . This win will determine the leader for the SEC West . They will Choke . Don’t think Bama is losing any sleep here . Remember what happened the last time they were playing Bama for leading the SEC west .

Actually if you follow A&M history they actually don’t choke when doing so would allow Texas to claim an upper hand. They play out of their minds.

Yes. It’s very little brother and such. No doubt. But they aren’t going to choke.

You’ll have to beat them. They won’t beat themselves this time.

Kind of sad this won't be a yearly game anymore. Anyway, two very talented & pretty good teams. Both have flaws for sure.

Anyone confident which way it will go is fooling themselves. Should be a good one.

-A&M has a top 5 roster in the country (recruiting)
-Ultra elite skill players on offense
-Ultra elite DL

A&M may have a top 5 roster in the country, but the distribution of talent is not good ...

1 5* QB, injured
1 5* RB, true freshman
1 5* WR
6 5* DL, runs a 3 man front
1 5* DB, Senior transfer (doesn't start/hurt?)

Of the 9 5* playing close to their HS ratings, 1 is hurt and 6 play the same position (DL).

FYI, for Alabama
1 5* QB
1 5* RB
2 5* WR
2 5* OL
5 5* Edge
2 5* DL
2 5* LB
3 5* DB

Btw, Milroe is bigger and faster than A&M's starting 3* freshman LB
