Yep.

Did anyone think A&Ms defense would hold Bama to ten points and less than 150 total yards in the first, third and fourth quarters combined?
No, but it was public knowledge that AJ was hurt for the tail end of the season, and playcalling was horrible in that stretch. Lacy and Yeldon would be averaging 6 yards a pop against you guys and LSU, but we kept passing. Neither team could stop the run, and had we just kept running like we did against UGA we would have been 14-0.

nd this time its at Kyle
Under Saban we're significantly better on the road.

We patched together something that worked last year, we can do it again.
Saban didn't have multiple months to plan last time, and the game we'll play before that will let us practice the gameplan on that offense, and then we have a bye week to fix any errors. I'm not saying you can't win, you most certainly can, but if I was an A&M fan I wouldn't be expecting it to happen.

The one thing I keep seeing is that A&Ms offense surprised everyone. The only SEC team that can legitimately say that is Florida. Everyone else had tons of tape, and everyone knew what Sumlin and JFF were doing.
If your coaching staffs were indeed surprised, then they are being grossly overpaid. But when we are honest with ourselves, you and I know that's not the truth; your coaches and teams were prepared yet failed to win. *except LSU, damn them.

I can't take people seriously that believe this. A&M stopped your run behind the line of scrimmage plenty, and if the threat of the pass isn't there, then that would have happened even more. You had to pass in order to set up the tun. You picked up a lot of rushing yards on passing situations, and late in the game when the Aggie defense was playing a bit soft. If you honestly think you could have lined up and run at will you are insane.

Who? We were decided underdogs. Certainly no Bama fans on this site were conceding.

If he was that hurt that it effected the outcome he should have been playing, and A&M held Bama to 3.9 YPC. That's their second lowest YPC in any single game since 2008. Our meh front seven stopped your running game better than pretty much any team during this run you've had with Saban. Dont know how, but we did it.

Under Saban you have a lower winning percentage on the road and win by fewer PPG. So, no.
