first, hopefully we can keep the trolling by all sides to a minimum.
Turnovers are obviously the biggest for each team. So, that one is easy.
But, here is what the Ags need to do to Bama's offense.
Make them march the field and get them to 3rd downs.
Bama is not good on 3rd downs. Haven't been all season. Add in Bama's penchant for missing field goals and we can keep the score manageable for our offense to break some stuff open.
The flip side is that we actually have to slow down your running attack. Our fast, aggressive DEs end up hurting us due to the extreme lack of depth we have at linebacker.

Alabama has a good defense, aTm doesn't.
I won't be surprised if Bama wins by 17+

I can't see yall winning this game. And college station is basically home games for opponents that are worth anything. Sorry, bro. Good offense though

In order to beat Bama, Kyle Allen will have to have the game of his life.

Whenever the two big brothers try to have a legit discussion, it's like light to the LSU little bro moths. Here they come.

I like our chances with Chief calling the shots. If our def can keep us in it, our offense can light it up at just about any point in the game.
We don't need to hold them to 17 points. We just can't give up 35 out of the gate.

Your estimation of your defensive prowess is greatly exaggerated.

The winning team is going to have to break tendencies in some area of the game.
this means, in order for aTm to win:
Must find a run defense
Must be able to run at least some
In order for Bama to win:
Must have consistent QB play
Must limit turnovers
Must make field goals
If good Coker shows up and sticks around the whole game, Bama wins easily.
If normal inconsistent Coker shows up along with inconsistent Griffith, Bama loses a close one.

If Bama comes out with their HUNH spread like against arky, I see their offense struggling. If Saban decides to party like its 1899, I don't know how A&M stops them at all.

We should force Alabama into passing situations. That means 3rd and longs. We play well defensively on 3rd downs.
Offensively, we have spread the field and put our athletes in seams in space. This is our best chance to jump out ahead. Alabama's defensive line is amazingly long, strong, and athletic.
Should be a good one.

there's also some coaching trends that will get broken this week.
Sumlin is excellent with extra time to prepare.
Saban pretty much doesn't lose. haha.

Chavis gonna eat. I think the Aggies will beat Alabama if they can play their gaps on defense soundly. I think their offense can torch Alabama.

Not going to list the obvious (Turnovers, Stopping the run for Aggy, stopping the pass for Bama).
For aTm, I think it comes down to limiting Bama's long scoring drives. Arky had 3 scoring drives that total almost 21 minutes, and another 3 that totaled around 13 minutes.
If aTm lets Bama go on these long, time consuming drives, I don't think they will be able to score enough against that D.

For A&M, the keys to the game will be getting Bama in to long third down situations so Myles Garrett can dominate and Kyle Allen getting the ball out quickly.
For Alabama, the keys to the game will be putting themselves in to good third down situations so Myles Garrett doesn't eat them alive, and trying to stop Kyle Allen from getting the ball out quickly.

i'm hoping Kiffin pulls one of his random games where he abandons whats working and stops them for us at some point. he's got a history of doing that.
our OC Spav also can't get stuck throwing to the sidelines.

Bama will have to limit aTm big plays and control the ball which I think they will.

It could happen. Kiffin has a tendancy to go almost full-retard at times. If he tries to throw against aTm, the DEs will feast. I doubt Kiffin's ego is that big, however.
I think they set a gameplan that is very similar to Arky's, just with a few wrinkles thrown in.

I'd say it is very rare. Have you looked at the won/loss record?
