Why I think A&M will win tomorrow.

Saban has consistently had a massive Achilles heel at Bama, spread offenses. When the game is slowed down, and Alabama can just out talent everybody, they win almost every time. When you spread them out, go fast to keep them from rotating personnel, the talent gap becomes less of an issue. Bama's defensive line amazing, but they're also heavy(average of 315 lb) when you go quickly, that advantage can be almost completely negated after a few series. Additionally, makes it more difficult to adjust Defensive play calling.
The biggest reason why I think A&M gets this one, is that while Bama's LB corp is 2nd to none, the secondary is pretty weak. And I would argue that TAMU is just as good if not better at the pure passing game than Ole Miss. The combination of Kyle Allen with those massive Aggie receivers up against that Bama secondary is a mismatch.
A&M will score, and Myles Garrett will get his against Cam Robinson(who has struggled this year). The question is whether Bama's offense will be able to keep up, and I don't have faith in Jake Coker or Derek Henry.
A&M is a match up nightmare for Alabama, because they're a fast paced spread offense with a good quarterback and massive receivers. Which in addition to playing on the road just screams "upset", if you can call it that.

You thought ol miss would beat UF. Analysis fail.

But will Bama fumble 1456 times again?

Until proven otherwise, I'll take a pissed off Bama team that has a chip on their shoulder.

This will definitely be their first serious test to the secondary since Ole Miss.

I'm by no means a fan of Bama and I hope the insufferable aggies win. But, no one is a match-up "nightmare" for Bama. Please show me the last time they lost by 4+ touchdowns.

I guess this means Bama will win.

The spread offense thing is way overblown. They score more on mostly everybody. Nobody ever talks about how Saban scores more against spread teams. Of course the team that runs more plays scores more often. The D gave up 28 against AU in 2013, 29 vs. A&M 2012, 20ish vs. West Virginia last year, and 0 vs A&M last year

I doubt it will happen, but I'm rooting for A&M. Takes a lot of heat off of us on Bama winning the West, plus it will assure that Gameday comes to Oxford next week (considering we don't shite the bed vs Memphis).

you may be right. you may be crazy.
the biggest reason bama wins is because they have to.

Alabama has the second best secondary in the SEC.

Theres more to defense than just the pass rush. Bama is going to run it down Myles Garrett's throat. IMO a managed time of possession game can beat A&M (barring any freak turnovers and super lucky-plays). If Bama really wants to contest A&M's offense, they are going to have to scrap that 3-4 lineup and go with a 3-2-5 or 4-2-5 defense.

Bama wins by 2 TDs if they don't turn the ball over. A&M might try to play vanilla zone like Arkansas did against Bama, but their run defense isn't as good and Bama will get their yards on the ground.

I think Alabama will beat the shite out of the big 12. The big12 has no defense.

I guess we're ignoring when A&M was shut out last year, or Ole Miss the year before that? Ole Miss won this year because of the turnover margin, not because Saban shits himself every time Alabama plays against the no huddle.
