just need to run. There is not a spy in existence that's gonna keep up with him. Spread out the receivers, have the rb lead block, and let milroe get some speed going. They squeeze in to stop that the wrs should be so open even milroe can hit them. And most importantly, throw the ball away if it's a bad play


Funny Auburn tried that and it went nowhere so by all means, please let that be your game plan!!

Bama decline is real, hell UT opened up a -9.5 favorite for the aTm game next week by DraftKings.

Alabama’s offense has sucked and A&M has a decent defense statistically: 20th in the nation vs the run and 9th in the country vs the pass.

They may kick the shite out of Alabama’s terrible offense,

Listening to the talking heads on radio and tv, A&M should be favored. I haven’t heard one person pick Bama in this game.


I've heard that Nick Saban has a sprained ankle, but Miss Terry told him to quit carrying on about it. There is word on the street also, that Miss Terry is picking TAMU.

Is that the same Bama team that blew out Ole Miss?

Ole Miss has a terrible defense, ranked 104th in the country.

Ole Miss has a terrible defense.



But it was Alabama defense that stuffed Ole Miss offense.

At home vs Ole Miss is different than on the road vs A&M.

I said Aggies DLINE is better than Texas DLINE. That’s it.

You may be right, but it isn’t a slam dunk either way. Both have really good DL.

A&M definitely has more 5 star talent, but the Texas DL is legit and about 9 deep. Best that I can remember in a long long time.

I believe that Sweat has the top grade on PFF for DL right now.. but I haven’t seen the rankings, so that may be outdated. Murphy might be even better. We also rotate all 9’guys pretty regularly, and it doesn’t seem to really matter which ones are out there.

I’ve watched more Aggie games the last 2 years than I watched from 2012-2020. Their DL is really good, especially when they have 4 of them out there.

It’s close imo. Both are really good.

can’t remember the last time I heard so many talking heads picking someone to beat Bama. Yeah a lot said Texas would win but the majority still said Bama. I’ve seen almost everyone say A&M will win


Whole lot of them picked Ole Miss, whole lot picked Miss St. Once they lose, its the pick to make so they can say they had it right.

I'm certainly not saying aTm couldn't win, but I don't put much stock in talking heads. Corso at least has head gear. The rest just have words.

It's going to be a close low scoring game that is basically a pick um?
Close game? For sure.

Low scoring? You just never know.

Last year people thought Alabama would run up and down the field against A&M, but they only scored 24. The year before (2021) people thought A&M's offense was utterly hopeless, and then Zach Calzada led them to a 41-38 victory.

Would be pretty shocked if either team won by more than 7, but wouldn't touch the over/under with a 50-foot pole. Too much crazy stuff has happened in this game the past couple of years.

There is rumors Milroe strained a hamstring on twitter

No idea if that's influencing this

Also no idea if that's true or not

Just search twitter for "Milroe injury" or "milroe practice" and sort by latest

Not sure what the catalyst for this rumor was but there are people talking about it on there

Yeah, since tradition overrides common sense and rules of fair play, i think the SEC should allow A&M to fire its cannon continuously during opponents drive

Bud Elliott on the Cover 3 podcast was also hinting that "something" had occurred that caused the line to shift, so it's possible he was referring to the Milroe injury?

Although if Milroe was out, I would think the line would shift a bit more
