Bama had 134 yards against Arkansas, A&M had 65. They didn't run as much against ULM anyways and still had over 100 yards.

Idk who is better, but I think Bama is. All I know is that if A&M thinks they can win by leaning on the run, you're gonna have a bad time.

Does aTm really have a better offense than LSU?

aTm - 480.4 YPG
LSU - 468.4 YPG

aTm - 6.53 YPP
LSU - 7.08 YPP

aTm - 39.2 PPG
LSU - 37.9 PPG


Stats don't lie, but they can be deceiving.

Well teams usually work on their weaknesses against lesser opponents. Seems as though Bama has been running only when needed and aTm is passing bc of no running game. Your stat means absolutely nothing at this point in the season.

Having seen both teams...

Bama's D-line was a brick wall. Bama's O-line was not nearly as strong as I anticipated. We did a good job against their run and got decent pressure on their QB until the 4th, where a lack of overall depth and lack of offense really took it's toll.

A&M's D-line should do well against Bama. They need to show improvement stopping the run vs how they played against us. The Aggie offense is dynamic enough that they should have some success moving the ball on Bama - much more so than Arkansas.

I'm going with A&M at home.
